Impact's
Perspective
The collapse of Mainzeal
demonstrates the importance of managing risk in projects and
to be ready to expect the unexpected. And when the
unexpected happens it is the ability to quickly adjust to
the new reality that will define the project and achieve the
best possible outcome… Find out more on what we have to say about
this.

first major rebuild in Christchurch
In December
2012 Impact was awarded the contract to provide project

Is
your governance structure driving your project forward?
The importance of putting strong project
governance structures in place should not be underestimated
when it comes to making decisions that allow your project to
be delivered in a timely and cost effective manner. Read

strategic advice and management support to the CCC as the
Insurance programme manager. The Insurance claim settlement
for the Council is potentially the largest in New Zealand
history covering thousands of assets valued at billions of
dollars. More here.
