1990s: AMALGAMATION ACROSS AUSTRALIA
Plenty begins to happen at home and abroad. Australian project managers unite under the AIPM banner and are instrumental in contributing to an international standard – the Project Management Institute's Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide).
At this point, organisations begin to understand a new paradigm of work: from the management of projects, to management by projects.

Interviewees: Phil Rutherford, PhD; Professor Lynn Crawford, PhD, Life Fellow
A discussion on the development of the Australian National Competency Standards for Project Management, and AIPM's role in influencing other organisations to adopt those standards.
Interviewee: Robin Schliebs, Fellow
The decision to turn the Project Managers' Forum (PMF) into a professional institute was made in 1987, when membership stood at over 500. The PMF became the Australian Institute of Project Management (AIPM) in 1989. Robin Schliebs was elected as AIPM's first National President.
Interviewees: Jim Lyon, Past President of WAPMA; Vince Acalinovich, Founding member of WAPMA; Phil Harlow, Last President of WAPMA; David Baccarini, Past President of WAPMA; Greg Martin, Past President of WAPMA; Henry Stawarz, Past President of WAPMA
The amalgamation of WAPMA and AIPM was significant. WAPMA had been in discussion with AIPM about amalgamating for approximately seven years. AIPM began official negotiations with WAPMA to amalgamate the two bodies in 1989.
After a protracted series of meetings beginning in December 1989, a Memorandum of Cooperation was eventually signed in June 1996. Phil Harlow was the last WAPMA President and so became the first President of the WA Chapter of AIPM.
Interviewee: Jenny Kooyman
Brian Kooyman (April 26, 1948 - June 1, 2013) made a significant contribution to project management during his career. This is an interview with his wife Jenny Kooyman.
