Major events
A spectacular sporting program. Acceleration of major infrastructure development. A platform for socio-economic reform. An immovable deadline. A relentless delivery program. Significant budget pressure. Huge media scrutiny. The ultimate stage on which to showcase a nation – a real opportunity for change.
Major events are becoming progressively more ambitious, both in impact and scale. Coupled with the diverse range of media platforms and increasing complexity in delivery, financial and commercial arrangements, the challenge is formidable but the benefits can be tremendous. Getting the right plans, designs, people, structures, and controls in place is at the heart of successful delivery, and building a team with real experience at all stages of planning and delivering a major event is essential.
