Major projects advisory

Enhancing performance, mitigating risks, and creating value.

Organisations including governments and regulated industry, are constantly seeking to enhance the assets, products and services they deliver to their communities and their customers. Major projects and programs of work are often established to deliver on this goal, to drive change, and to optimise operations. The delivery of such major projects can be challenging. Organisations need to balance competing stakeholder interests, manage funding constraints, mitigate risks and implement sustainable improvements that realise the forecast benefits.

This process requires careful consideration of a range of factors, including the pace and scale of change and the risk appetite of various parties. Finding the time, resources, and capability to execute such high-value projects on top of business-as-usual activities can be challenging. Organisations engage KordaMentha to help with their most pressing strategic issues.
