Life Without Barriers Transition Case Study
Life Without Barriers (LWB), a leading Australian not-for-profit organisation, has continuously evolved its project and portfolio management capabilities through a longstanding partnership with Sensei. Initially managing projects using spreadsheets, LWB recognised the need for a more robust solution, leading to the adoption of Sensei’s project management tools. Over the years, LWB transitioned from Jumpstart to Empower PPM, then to Sensei IQ, and most recently to Altus, a flexible and scalable solution built on the Microsoft Power Platform. This evolution has enabled LWB to manage over 757 projects with improved visibility, efficiency, and security while empowering both professional and informal project managers with user-friendly tools and training resources.
The adoption of Altus has provided LWB with a structured yet adaptable framework for project management, ensuring consistency across the organisation. Regular software updates, enhanced security measures, and integration with Microsoft Teams have further streamlined workflows and facilitated collaboration, particularly in a flexible work environment. With dedicated support from Sensei’s Client Care and Delivery teams, LWB has successfully navigated software transitions, leveraging new features to improve efficiency. By fostering a culture of continuous improvement and engagement with Sensei’s PPM solutions, LWB has strengthened its operational effectiveness, ensuring its ability to support Australians in need well into the future.
Asahi Case Study
Asahi Beverages, a leader in the Australian and New Zealand beverage industry, sought to enhance its project management capabilities by implementing Altus. This strategic move aimed to improve visibility, reporting, and value creation across its diverse portfolio. Over three years, the staged rollout, which integrated seamlessly with Microsoft’s Power Platform, successfully standardised project management processes, aligned professional and citizen project managers, and addressed the complexity of Asahi’s operations. The collaboration between Sensei and Asahi’s teams led to significant improvements in efficiency, transparency, and governance, supporting Asahi’s ongoing transformation and future business goals.
Life Without Barriers Case Study

Melbourne Airport case study
Melbourne Airport has been servicing access to the city of Melbourne since 1970. As the second busiest airport in Australia, it is the primary international airport of the four airfields serving the Melbourne metropolitan area. In early 2020 with the onset of COVID-19, unprecedented disruptions and economic impacts paused the travel industry allowing the Airport to ramp up a large-scale digital transformation program based on the Microsoft Office 365 business platform. This included a complete upgrade to the technology supporting the Project Management Office, replacing multiple disconnected legacy tools.
To meet the complex portfolio and project management needs of the Airport, together with integration into the finance system and alignment with the overall transformation program, Sensei delivered a one-stop, standardised and scalable solution spanning both the enterprise and capital works programs. With Melbourne Airport’s 100% adoption of Sensei’s Altus solution, it’s PMO now has a single source of truth and a single location to manage the oversight of all portfolios and projects resulting in greater visibility, control and value measurement.

Over the course of five years, Sensei has substantially enhanced the University’s project management capability by fine tuning Microsoft Project Online with the implementation of solutions including Sensei Integration Hub, Sensei Reporting Packs and Sensei Reporting Hub. Crucially, Sensei has also led the integration of Project Online with the University’s Enterprise Resource Planning solution for consolidation of financial reporting, while building a bespoke solution for human resources management (Contractor Recruitment Management Solution, “CRMS”).

This provides BAI with a clear view across projects in Australia underway at any time and supports the delivery of its strategic vision for the Enterprise Project Management Office (EPMO) – to improve governance and maximise the value of all project investments.
Linfox case study
In 1956, founder Lindsay Fox started Linfox with one truck in Melbourne, Australia. More than 60 years later, the company has grown to become Asia Pacific’s largest privately-owned logistics company, employing more than 24,000 people across 12 countries. Linfox’s distinctive red and yellow vehicles are widely recognised in these countries, along with the slogan each carries: ‘You are passing another FOX’.
As a large organisation with multiple projects and millions of dollars of capital at work at any given time, Linfox sought
automation, efficiency and improved reporting from its project management office. The logistics leader brought Sensei Project Solutions on board for the delivery of its pre-configured Microsoft Project Portfolio and Work Management environment.
As a result, Linfox today enjoys unprecedented transparency, standardised approaches to project management and the ability to anticipate and solve problems before they adversely impact delivery.
Swinburne Uni case study
Swinburne University of Technology is an Australian public university based in Melbourne, Victoria and it has a student roll of more than 23,000. The IT department serving Swinburne runs multiple projects in its efforts to provide employees and students with the services required for their daily activities, those projects range from large implementations down to smaller initiatives. Project data was difficult to get hold of, it was hard to see where any given project was. With a constant portfolio of multiple projects running at any given time, the distinct lack of coordination and efficiency demanded a better way if Swinburne was to be sure of getting the best results from every initiative.
Backed by the support of Sensei Project Solutions (Sensei), Melbourne’s Swinburne University of Technology has introduced a structured way of handling its projects in the information technology department using Microsoft Project Online. Over the course of five years, Swinburne has matured its project management capability, so it achieves optimal results across multiple concurrent initiatives and has more recently introduced Sensei’s Reporting Hub for greater insights and control across all projects.
Melbourne Water case study

Melbourne Water is the caretaker of river health for 8,400 kilometers of waterway in the Port Phillip and Western port region and manages a capital investment program exceeding $2.5 billion in any given five-year period.
As water demand and environmental complexity increase, so do the number of projects and employees—and Melbourne Water found itself in a difficult position, Melbourne Water wasn’t able to predict portfolio underspend until it was too late to react. Since the company began using Microsoft PPM, increased portfolio visibility has enabled Melbourne Water to utilise funds more effectively and enhance life and liveability for the community of Melbourne.
