What is 'The Inner Circle'?
Infrastructure NZ's Emerging Talent Network is pleased to invite you to a close-knit interactive session with an industry leader exclusively for our members. We call it 'The Inner Circle'.

In these exclusive sessions, an industry leader leads a discussion with a small group of ET members on a hot topic in infrastructure. You will be participating, not just listening, so bring your questions and opinions along, find out about our expert, and what they are leading in their sector. This session will be limited to 10 people, so you’ll need to be quick to snap up your place at the table.

Our Next Industry Leader
One of the drivers for the Construction Sector Accord was to address the issue of fair risk allocation in construction contracts, to mitigate the boom-bust cycle and ensure a healthy and sustainable construction industry.

What does it mean for contract conditions to be ‘balanced’ and for risks to be allocated to the party best able to manage them?  Katrina Van Houtte, Partner, Construction and Major Projects at Dentons Kensington Swan has first-hand experience of the impact of unequal transfer of risk on project outcomes and has a strong interest in improving procurement processes to focus on better outcomes for a healthier industry.  

This event is an opportunity for a small group of 10 ET members to chat with Katrina and ask her questions about the effect of risk allocation on project outcomes. Throughout the discussion Katrina will also share her career journey and the insights she has picked up along the way.

**Please note the date of this event has changed to Thursday 13 May 2021**
