Leadership & learning
We support the development of senior infrastructure leaders though events, leadership networks, and best-practice resources to support their development.
Public sector infrastructure projects are complex and high-stakes. They require skilled leaders who can manage risks, drive project performance, and ensure successful outcomes. Effective leadership makes the difference between projects that meet their objectives and those that face delays, cost overruns, or fail to deliver value.
The resources and events in this section are designed to support Senior Responsible Owners (SROs), Project Directors (PDs), and agency leaders responsible for appointing and supporting infrastructure leaders. Whether you are leading a project, developing leadership capability, or recruiting for critical roles, this hub connects you with the right tools, networks, and knowledge to help you in your role.

Why Leadership Matters
Leadership plays a critical role in delivering successful infrastructure projects. Managing complexity, anticipating risks, and making informed decisions requires capable leaders who can navigate uncertainty and drive performance.
Effective leadership ensures that infrastructure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and provide lasting value to the public. Skilled leaders build resilient teams, foster collaboration across agencies, and create the conditions for better project outcomes.
Investing in leadership development strengthens New Zealand’s infrastructure sector by improving governance, enhancing decision-making, and fostering cross-agency collaboration. Public sector leaders who engage with professional development opportunities, leadership networks, and best-practice resources enhance their ability to deliver critical infrastructure successfully.
The Infrastructure Leadership Hub shares the resources, networks, and events needed to succeed in senior infrastructure roles.
