Training Package Procurement for Fraud, Corruption, and Probity


Project Summary

Queensland University of Technology (QUT) recognised the necessity of enhancing the awareness of fraud, corruption, and probity issues among its business stakeholders across various departments and units. To achieve this, a specialised training package was developed, tailored to the needs and context of QUT's diverse business landscape. The training sessions were organised into 2-hour blocks to accommodate the busy schedules of stakeholders.

Project Outcomes

Procurement Co developed a bespoke training solution and co-delivered the training with QUT’s procurement team to various stakeholder groups across the organisation.

  • Industry and stakeholder specific content crafted to address the unique concerns and challenges faced by business stakeholders across QUT. Case studies and examples were carefully selected to resonate with the diverse roles and responsibilities within the university.
  • Each training session was designed to be interactive and engaging, encouraging active participation and discussion among stakeholders. Real-life scenarios and practical examples were used to illustrate key concepts and enhance comprehension.
  • Recognising the time constraints of busy stakeholders, the training sessions were delivered in 2-hour blocks, allowing for focused learning without disrupting daily operations. This format ensured maximum participation and minimised disruption to ongoing activities.
  • The training package emphasised actionable strategies and practical insights that stakeholders could apply directly to their roles at QUT. By providing tangible solutions and guidance, participants were empowered to identify and address fraud, corruption, and probity issues within their respective departments.
  • While formal evaluation mechanisms were not implemented, informal feedback channels were utilised to gauge stakeholders' satisfaction and understanding of the training content. This feedback loop allowed for continuous improvement and refinement of future training sessions based on stakeholders' needs and preferences.

In conclusion, the training package developed for QUT provided valuable insights and practical strategies to mitigate fraud, corruption, and probity risks across the university. By delivering tailored sessions in a time-efficient and engaging format, QUT was able to empower its stakeholders to uphold the highest standards of integrity and ethical behaviour in their respective roles.
