Lodestone Projects

I can add value in the following areas:

• Stakeholder relationship management
• Stakeholder analysis techniques
• Meeting facilitation
• Public participation techniques and events 
• Research and analysis (to support evidence-based decision making)
• Building a shared 'vision' and strategy development
• Business case development and assessment
• Project funding - extensive experience in writing funding applications, managing public funds and assessing funding proposals; experience of Investment Memorandum and MOU processes
• Securing corporate sponsorship 
• Project management and delivery- including monitoring, reporting and communication
• Planning and delivering extension (or 'knowledge transfer') events - ranging from bi-lateral international workshops through to small-scale and localised extension activities

I offer a broad range of project governance experience. I have benefited from the NZ Institute of Director's Governance training, as well as bespoke governance training workshops run by two of New Zealand's leading professional Directors

Additionally, I offer experience and insight on a number of key issues affecting businesses and communities today, including: social licence to operate; natural capital and environmental accounting; future foresight; and disruptive and emerging trends.
