Habits
conscious action. Repeating this process over and over and it will eventually become a habit (subconscious action) that often occurs automatically. Old habits are hard to break and new habits are hard to form. That’s because the behavioral patterns we repeat most often are etched in our neural pathways. Through repetition, it’s possible to form new habits or change bad ones.
Recognise and acknowledge the habit you want to change, for example: Fitting hearing protection after entering an area of high noise and not before Use a prompt as a placeholder to change the habit, for example: Use the action of swiping onto a complex as the prompt. The fitting of hearing protection before leaving the swipe point will encourage the change in habit Habits are routines of behavior that are repeated regularly and tend to occur subconsciously. If you instinctively reach for a cigarette the moment you wake up in the morning, you have a habit. By the same token, if you lace up your running shoes and hit the streets as soon as you get home, you’ve acquired a habit. Whether a habit is good or bad depends on the outcome. Habit formation is the process by which new behaviours become automatic. The first time you make a decision it is a
Tell a mate of a habit change you want to make, and YOU can help a mate by telling him when you notice that change. So give it a shot – try to identify a bad habit you have and work on fixing it by changing it into a good habit. Remember: You will have to repeat the process many times over before it will become a habit, so be consistent and persistent.
GEA Tender Readiness Workshops Underway The first of three GEA Tender Readiness Workshops, Advanced Tender Writing for Teams, took place on Tuesday 19 March in Gladstone. The session was lead by tender coach and writer Deborah Mazoudier of Aurora Marketing.
Feedback from the workshop was very positive and participants found it helpful to see the potential traps that can be encountered by not interpreting the criteria requirements correctly.
The one day workshop pushed beyond the basic practices of good writing and placed heavy emphasis on how to develop and implement customised tendering strategies. Participants discussed tender management best practice including how to holistically review a tender request and how to maximise your company’s institutional knowledge. Attendees noted some of the most useful information of the day included the portion devoted to techniques for critically examining criteria requirements in order to fully understand the needs of the client. Through hands-on exercises attendees gained useful tools for dissecting criteria questions to pinpoint key words and concepts to address in responses. The facilitator challenged participants to consider that even in today’s competitive market, a winning bid does not just come down to the bottom line and shared tools to create strategicallypresented, client-focused tender documents that stress value for money, highlight innovation, and give the client exactly what they want.

Member of the Month McCullough Robertson - a big law firm with a regional focus With some of the nation’s largest resources and construction projects centred in and around Gladstone and the Central Queensland region, the need for expert legal advice from the start of the project to completion and beyond is paramount to effectively manage the procurement phase, contract management and the avoidance or resolution of claims. This is where McCullough Robertson comes in as a trusted legal adviser to large national and international resources and construction companies, mid-tier contractors and private and family owned businesses. The firm acts for clients across Australia and internationally but has always retained a strong presence in regional Queensland. “While our head office is in Brisbane, it’s fair to say that our client’s projects are heavily focused in Central Queensland. We are on the ground with our clients as much as possible and even when we are back in Brisbane we have the technology to interact immediately with our clients via state of the art videoconferencing and real time instant message technology,” Matt Bradbury, Construction Group Partner said. “What we bring is a whole of project approach drawing on the wide resources and experience of the entire McCullough Robertson team to ensure successful project delivery. From access to infrastructure, through licensing and regulation,

insurance and risk management, and incident management to industrial relations advice and representation, environmental approvals and workplace health and safety, our whole team works together to ensure our clients’ projects and businesses run smoothly.” As a value add, McCullough Robertson offers training and workshops at both industry and project specific level and conducts free supported workshops on industry specific legislation throughout the year for both GEA members and other interested businesses and industry groups. The highlight of the training calendar is the firm’s annual Construction Conference, which will return to the Capricorn Resort at Yeppoon from 12 to 13 September 2013. The Construction Conference will be McCullough Robertson’s thirteenth in Central Queensland and is reflective of its long-term commitment to the industry within the region.

Project Update Massive LNG modules make it to Curtis The first modules for the Australia Pacific LNG (APLNG) project have been unloaded on Curtis Island. They will be used to build the foundation structure for the LNG processing trains and supporting infrastructure of the project. APLNG’s David Lundeen said the four modules represented a new phase of the project. “The arrival of the modules at our site marks the start of the next stage of construction on Curtis Island. The site preparation work is complete, the concrete foundations have been laid and we are now ready for the larger components of the facility to be constructed,” he said. The first four modules are a tiny fraction of what will be needed to see the processing trains fully built. Over the next 18 months, 69 modules will arrive from the construction yard in Batam, Indonesia. Not all of them will need to be transported individually - shipments may contain up to seven modules of various sizes. The average journey time from Batam to Gladstone is about a month.
Gladstone Steel Plant Project
The EIS process for the Gladstone Steel Plant Project (GSPP) is continuing. Boulder Steel Ltd lodged the EIS with the Queensland Office of the Coordinator General in September 2012. The EIS was open for public submission for 6 weeks in January and February this year. Boulder Steel Ltd is now waiting to receive a formal response from the OCG regarding the EIS, which is expected to be received this month. Boulder Steel is focused on pursuing partners who can assist with not only investment but with fund raising in China and who can also participate in other aspects of the GSPP, such as engineering, construction and design. Boulder Steel is also in detailed discussions with relevant companies about modularisation. The project team is continuing to meet potential off-takers for the semi-finished steel slabs and have a follow-up meeting in a few weeks time to provide further information to a potential significant off-taker. Boulder Steel is planning to hold a workshop in Gladstone for interested contractors under the auspices of the Gladstone Engineering Alliance to present the GSPP’s ‘construction delivery plan’. For more info about the project: www.gladstonesteelproject.com.au
While the fabrication of the processing trains is happening overseas, there are now 2300 workers at the APLNG site on Curtis Island. Bechtel is running the project, and Gladstone general manager Kevin Berg said substantial progress had been made on the ground in a short space of time. “This is credit to the workforce we have here in Gladstone, and the local suppliers on the ground who have enabled us to reach this point on schedule.” Mr Berg said.

Business Life Plan (BLP) – A Plan Especially for Small & Medium Business Owners Most small and medium business owners’ personal lives and their businesses are intertwined - issues that impact the business will also affect the owner’s personal life and vice versa. Therefore, business plans prepared without considering the personal goals or issues of the owners are less likely to succeed. ‘Business Life Planning’ is a structured planning process that encompasses both business and personal circumstances. The Seven Benefits of Business Life Planning are: 1.
Identifying the causes of business and personal stress for business owners, and developing realistic plans to address these causes. Great for improving ‘work/life’ balance!
2.
Comparing your business’ performance to industry benchmarks, identifying areas that can be improved. These form the basis for ‘improvement plans’ and objectives for the business. Gives the business a clear direction forward.
3.
Finding out the value of your business and determining whether or not it will fund your retirement. Do you have a ‘Value GAP’?
4.
Helps resolve ‘Partnership’ issues. If business partners don’t have a common vision or goals, a BLP is a good forum to reconcile differences or agree to go separate ways.
5.
Excellent framework for business owners to start formalising their succession plans. What is your exit plan?
6.
Flushes out Estate Planning (wills etc.) and personal insurance shortcomings.
7.
There is a detailed action plan to keep everyone accountable. Our Coach Lana keeps us on track, who keeps you accountable?
If you can relate to any of the above, then a Business Life Plan is for you. Don’t delay contact GTC Financial now on 07 4972 5177 | gtcfin@gtcfin.com.au to organise an appointment to discuss your situation. The initial appointment is free, so what have you got to lose.

Profile
Women of Gladstone
In the lead up to our Inspiring Women in Industry Conference in May, GEA would like to take this opportunity to profile some of the many inspiring professional women in the Gladstone region.
Patrice Brown Director, CQG Consulting
Lois Auld A home-grown successful Central Queenslander, Patrice established CQG Consulting, one of Queensland’s largest regionally based environmental and planning consultancies, less than 10 years ago.
Assistant Manager, Bullivants Lois Auld has recently been appointed as the new manager with safety handling specialist company Bullivants at their branch in Beckinsale Street in Gladstone.
Born and raised on a remote cattle property and educated through a combination of home schooling, bush and boarding schools, Patrice is now also a partner in a cattle property with her husband. Patrice cites some of her most challenging years were working as the NSW State Environmental Officer for CSR Timber, which required a lot of travel whilst at the same raising a young family and completing a Masters in Engineering. She stresses the importance of building personal support and strong professional networks during these times to enable it all to come together. Patrice has held a number of board positions for the Australian and State Government as well as voluntary board roles for community and economic development organisations. She is currently the Chair of the Environment Institute of Australia and New Zealand’s external relations committee. She is very proud of CQG’s achievements, particularly the recent EIS approval of the Great Keppel Island Revitalisation Project and the completion of the Boulder Steel EIS. Patrice has presented at numerous conferences including at the Green Ports Congress in France last year and the upcoming International Association of Impact Assessment (IAIA) next month in Canada. In recognition for her contributions to the environmental sector Patrice was the only environmental consultant invited to present to UNESCO and IUCN during their mission last year to assess the management of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area.

Bullivants has a very strong national network with 26 branches around Australia, and is recognised as a market leading supply partner in lifting, rigging and safety equipment provision, with a large depth of experience in the supply and maintenance of equipment to the agricultural, mining, marine transport, construction and engineering industries. With her recent appointment, Lois has the distinction of being the company’s first female manager in 120 years of
Lois was born in Glasgow and educated at Dollar Academy, which is one of Scotland’s leading independent co-educational day and boarding schools. Her academic success was matched in the extracurricular activities of hockey, drama, debating and community work. In her final year she was the Chairman of a voluntary group within the school, which raised fifty thousand pounds during the year that was distributed to four national charities. She then took an Honours degree in Business Management at Newcastle University in the North of England over three years, and excelled on the board of AIESEC, one of the world’s largest studentrun organisations that focus on providing a platform for youth leadership and development. As a farewell to Newcastle, the Great North Run half marathon was completed in a time of two hours. At the age of 21, Lois decided to head ‘down under’ on her travels to visit a few relatives in New South Wales and Queensland, which lead her to Gladstone where she is enjoying the Australian way of life.

Profile The Bullion Group designs database to track the four “P”s GEA member and Queensland business The Bullion Group has designed a software system to take charge of records management for employee qualifications and training, as well as plant maintenance and scheduling. The system can be used across many industries and is intended to aid the administrative processes associated with keeping track of people, plant, procedures and processes. The 4P System (4PS) was born out of The Bullion Group’s own need for an effective way to manage and record information. The business had grown to a point where a software system was needed to manage certain records and processes, in a similar way to an HR style database. The business was experiencing issues relating to the management of staff training. Employees’ qualifications and inductions were expiring and they didn’t have an easy way to keep track of this information. In addition to employee records, the business also needed a database to manage their assets, such as equipment registers and maintenance, procedures and records; however they were unable to find anything on the market that was suitable and met their needs. There were systems available that came close, however the cost of the licence was unaffordable for a small to medium business and the systems were quite complex and not very user friendly. The Bullion Group soon realised there was a real need for an affordable system and set about researching this option in 2010. The Bullion Group engaged software architect/developer Ben Lewis to develop a database from scratch that would take care of all their records management needs and the “4P System” was born. Lewis’ background includes working on multiple enterprise grade systems in varying industries including SAP, ISP Data Collection, Network Management, Inventory Management and Control.
Blue Ocean Strategy has literally changed the way companies do business. It has turned the way we think of competition on its head. It will challenge everything you thought you knew about strategy.

Although the system has been developed to meet The Bullion Group’s own business needs, its user friendliness and simplicity enables it to be used across varying industries and business types. It aids with contractor management and one of its greatest benefits is its affordability. It can be used for “Mum and Dad” style businesses as well as larger corporations. The name “4P System” is derived from the four “P”s of business for which it is used - People, Plant, Procedure and Process. Each “P” is a separate module and can be purchased individually or all four modules can be used together. This gives more freedom to the purchaser, as it is not necessary to purchase a licence for all modules if only one or two modules are required. The “People” module is complete and has been used by a few businesses already. The “Plant” module is at a point where it is about to be tested, and the “Procedure” and “Process” modules are expected to be completed in 2014. Customers can pick and choose the modules that their business requires or select all four modules. Licenses for the modules start at $3,000 per module per year, with a discount offered if buying a license for all four modules. The Bullion Group is offering a free 3-month trial of the “People” module. For a limited time the “Plant” module will be included. For more information please contact The Bullion Group on 07 4944 1272.

Cover Story Roseberry Community Services Appointed GEA Charity Golf Day Beneficiary Gladstone Engineering Alliance (GEA) went to tender in February for local charitable organisations and clubs to submit applications to become the beneficiary of the GEA Charity Golf Day this July. After receiving an overwhelming response from local charities, the GEA selection committee elected Roseberry Community Services as the charity that best addressed the selection criteria and had a strong link to local industry to become the beneficiary for 2013. GEA committee member Nicola Kelbie said the interest from local charities was substantial and all causes very deserving, which made the selection process quite difficult.
GEA would like to recognise Bindaree Lodge, Boyne Island Lions Club, MATES in Construction and Quoin Island Turtle Rehabilitation Centre for their time and effort in preparing their submissions and look forward to considering these organisations again for the 2014 event. The charity golf day is to be held on Friday 19 July at the Gladstone Golf Course and will see over 100 GEA members and friends hitting the green for a fun day of networking and friendly competition. Roseberry Community Services staff and volunteers will have a presence on the day to support the event and rattle their charity buckets for a great cause.
“GEA would like to thank all applicants for their submissions and although all causes were very worthy, after a careful consideration process the selection committee appointed Roseberry Community Services as this year’s beneficiary,” Ms Kelbie said. Roseberry Community Services Limited (RCS) has been assisting socially and financially disadvantaged members of the Gladstone community for more than 25 years. RCS General Manager Colleen Tribe said the organisation is looking forward to working with GEA on the golf day and are thrilled to have the opportunity to further develop and improve their existing facilities. “We are delighted to be aligned with GEA for this event. This funding will allow us to carry out much needed upgrades to improve Roseberry House for local Gladstone youth,” Ms Tribe said. Roseberry House provides respite to local young people who have been through significant trauma and homelessness, some from an early age. Roseberry Community Services aim to provide their young clients with a safe and inviting place to reside while they work to get their lives back on track. Through their Branchout, Transition to Independent Living and Get Ready for Work programs, RCS help young people to re-engage with education and gain employment and training in local industry.
