In 2015 B.I.C Services enrolled three of their people in The Performance Edge open course in Sydney. LMA regularly runs development courses in an “open” environment where participants from a number of different organisations participate and work towards the achievement of their own business and personal development goals.
Impressed with the results achieved by the participants, B.I.C Services enlisted LMA to deliver the Leading and Managing for Results course in-house to provide their managers and supervisors with solid foundations to build organisational growth through improved personal performance and productivity.
The first in-house course commenced in 2015 for a group of ten managers and supervisors with varying levels of leadership experience and they returned an exceptional $370,521 Return On Investment based on the time and efficiency gains forecasted for the first 12 months.

During this year’s Supply Chain & Logistics Association of Australia (SCLAA) Awards, the Future Leaders Award was presented to two outstanding industry future leaders, Samantha Lowry, Senior Procurement Advisor, Department of Education & Training and Danielle Brennan, Category Specialist, Stanwell Corporation. LMA is proud to be a key sponsor of the Awards and support the development of leaders in the industry.
For Samantha Lowry, her move from being a solicitor to developing her career in procurement was one that saw her step into her potential in a whole new way.
“I learned that I don’t enjoy giving advice from the side lines and that I’d much rather be making and informing decisions,” Samantha explains. “When I rotated through the graduate program to the procurement branch, I really began to find my passion, and that is leveraging my legal experience to negotiate the best possible outcomes, both financially and otherwise.”
With her recent completion of a Diploma of Government (Procurement and Contracting) with career aspirations of becoming a chief procurement officer, Samantha’s future in the Supply Chain industry looks bright. Her current projects see her establishing a Software-as-a-Service Community of Practice to connect key personnel in providing consistent advice and assistance to help schools to balance the benefits of new and accessible technologies alongside the privacy and duty or care concerns of their students.
Samantha shares her Future Leaders Award win with peer Danielle Brennan. Danielle’s skills in the procurement industry have developed through a series of strategic roles at Queensland Health and Transport & Main Roads. A self-starter and innovator, Danielle has utilised her skills to drive the ICT procurement and engineering services of Stanwell. With an ability to break-down barriers and create new opportunities, Danielle has been awarded for her continuous drive, passion and enthusiasm for her work. Already an effective leader in her own right, Danielle notes that “Leaders must ensure that any value created should contribute to the business, its needs and direction.”
Both young women in a career path traditionally dominated by their male counterparts, Samantha and Danielle are aware of the underlying need for diversity in their roles and in their industry. “All industries benefit from diversity,” Samantha notes. The SCLAA actively promotes women in the supply chain industry – in 2015, for the first time, half of the State or Division Presidents are women.
Along with this significant Future Leaders acknowledgement from the SCLAA, both Samantha and Danielle will be given the opportunity to increase their skill base with access to LMA’s ‘The Performance Edge’ program. Through the program both Samantha and Danielle hope to obtain skills to increase the productivity of themselves and their teams.
“We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” Albert Einstein
Simply put, this is another way to say one of the most popular and overused buzzwords in business. Thinking outside the box, no matter how cliché, is a necessary and extremely effective way to fix problems and come up with new ideas.
Thinking outside the box means approaching problems in new, innovative ways – ironically, its a cliché that means to think of clichéd situations in ways that aren’t clichéd.

“If you are not making the progress that you would like to make and are capable of making, it is simply because your goals are not clearly defined.” Paul J. Meyer
The key to success in all endeavours is to become goal directed. Goal direction makes it possible to focus your strengths and abilities on achieving your personal and career objectives. Goal direction is the foundation on which you develop a high degree of self motivation whilst harnessing the forces of your untapped potential. Progressive realisation of your goals takes you on a continuous journey of self improvement and high performance.
A key ingredient in improving performance and achieving success in any endeavour is the ability to set goals.
Genuine goal setting is the first step towards positive action. Goals may be imaginative and visionary, but not in the same sense as fantasy and day dreams. Goals are a prelude to action, a track to follow and a course to take. They are not a substitute for reality.
Whether you already have experience in goal setting, or it is a new concept for you, understanding the principles of goal setting empowers you to take control of your future.
