We support asset intensive organisations – from strategy, to transformation

Australia faces a major infrastructure deficit in the wake of population and economic growth. To effectively provide for this growth, and optimise the capital investment in infrastructure, difficult questions must be answered related to priorities – which projects, and when?  Major investments in infrastructure must be grounded in a robust understanding of the strategic rationale, as well as costs, benefits and risks, supported by detailed planning, staging, financial analysis and economic appraisal.

For businesses that carry an asset-intensive balance sheet – including Utilities, Property, Transport and even Telco – regulatory regimes, and ongoing changes in basic business economics, are driving significant change.  This in turn is forcing organisations to revisit their strategy, ways of working, and to push hard on programs of transformaton.


We bring useful skills across infrastructure, transport, utilities and property

  • Major projects strategy with a focus on defining the “why” for a major project or infrastructural spend, supported by a robust, evidenced-based analysis of benefits
  • Business strategy for asset intensive businesses including property sector players, telco, transport and utilities
  • Transformation program support with a strong understanding of capital returns and the capital projects workforce and working environment
  • Program and portfolio planning including identification of major project objectives, strategic relevance, timing, cash flow implications and risks
  • Procurement evaluation including alternative financing as well as alternative procurement approaches (including PPP)
