AEC Ascent Issue 37

By Sarah-Jane Conroy

Welcome to the 37th edition of AECascent!

This issue marks an exciting time for AECgroup as it rapidly approaches 2012. The past month has seen a number of exciting announcements made by AECgroup's board of directors with the decision to celebrate the company's national success by expanding its operations internationally into south east Asia! AECgroup's Chairman, Carey Ramm, has been leading the charge in establishing our first international office in Bangkok, Thailand, as well as establishing a number of key partnerships in the region with the Australian Thai Chamber of Commerce, the Australian Embassy and Austrade.

The decision for AECgroup to go global has prompted the change of AEC's Vision for the future to become:

"A leading global consulting group recognised through the success of our clients"

In addition, the board approved the introduction of a new company tagline "Outcome Driven" to our corporate logo. Our key partners and clients will notice this change to our corporate logo over the coming months.

On the home front, our Australian offices continue to forge ahead. A standout player has been our west coast office in Perth, WA, which has experienced increasing demand and popularity with our west coast clients - testimony to the strength of the Western Australian economy and its resources boom.

Due to increasing demand and a need to keep up with our WA clients, AECgroup has recently invested in a larger permanent office in Perth (opening in November), relocating from St. Georges Terrace to 580 Hay Street, Perth. The move will give us more space and allow for us to expand our operations - so AECgroup is on the recruitment beat once again!

Within this edition you will find an article featuring our Perth Office and our WA staff, providing some insight into what it's like to work in the AECgroup Perth Office. Other key highlights within this edition include:

A feature from IKM on the Design Process For Custom Written Software;
An article from BSF on Landfill Rehabilitation Costing Within A Waste Management Business;
Some hints and tips from our MSR division on the use of words and visuals in communicating and how powerpoint can be used as an effective tool in optimising communication styles; and
DMA's recent launch of the Townsville Bitter Premium brand.

Happy reading everyone!
