In June, Principal Consultant Michael Kwok, attended a course at the INSEAD Business School in Fontainebleau as part of his Prime Minister’s Business Leadership Scholarship.

Michael said the course, Leading for Results – Creating a Culture of Achievement, “was incredibly well thought out and provided room for me to reflect on my current assumptions about leadership, and make plans for the future. I particularly valued the opportunity to share my own leadership challenges, and to understand that many of the issues I face are common throughout the world, irrespective of company size and nationality.”

The course gave Michael the opportunity to interact with over 30 other business leaders from around the world, and with on-going scheduled conference calls, Michael says he’s able to maintain the momentum and energy he gained while there. If you’d like to hear more from Michael about his INSEAD experience, please contact him on 09 303 3461.

Resolve Group would like to congratulate all the winners of the 2012 New Zealand Engineering Excellence Awards, announced on November 30. In particular, we would like to acknowledge the quality of the engineering work done by Beca and Fletcher Construction Company Ltd on the New Lynn Rail Trench and Station, which deservedly won the Supreme Award for New Zealand Engineering Excellence along with the Transportation Infrastructure Award.

The project, completed in March 2010, has contributed to the rejuvenation of New Lynn and NZEE Awards Judges were impressed with the commitment of the project team to minimising the inevitable disruption to the community, to their proactive approach to identifying and resolving issues, and to their commitment to sustainability as evidenced through allowances made for future electrification. The architecturally attractive station building was another key factor in their selection.

Resolve Group was involved in the New Lynn project as Engineer to the contract.
