G&P Insight Series
May 30, 2025

Our insights series breaks down the issues shaping supplier ecosystems and project delivery giving leaders clear, actionable context in minutes.

Project delivery is moving faster than ever. Supply chains are under pressure, regulations are tightening, and expectations around ESG, resilience, and transparency are rising. For executives and project teams, this creates constant questions: Where are the risks? Where are the opportunities? And how do you prepare for both?

In our insights series, we bring together our experience across industries with fresh research and client-side realities to highlight what matters most. The goal: actionable context that leaders can apply immediately.

What to Expect

Each article focuses on a theme shaping supplier ecosystems and project delivery — from global supply chain shocks to local content requirements, from digital integration to supplier risk and performance. We break down why the issue matters, how it is evolving, and what it means for enterprises in Australia, New Zealand, and beyond. We offer a perspective you can use to frame stronger questions and make sharper decisions.

Our Approach

We believe insights are most valuable when it combines analysis with delivery perspective. That’s why our writing draws not only on research and market data, but also on what we see in the field across supplier onboarding, mobilisation, compliance, and assurance. By following along, we aim to give readers a sharper understanding of the forces shaping supply ecosystems, the opportunities for impact, and the levers available to reduce risk and strengthen delivery performance.

Closing Thoughts

Our insight series is designed as a quick resource. Our aim is to inform, challenge, and equip. Each piece is a starting point — a way to make sense of complex issues and open the door to further research, discussion, and collaboration. For some readers, that may mean exploring emerging regulations in more depth. For others, it may mean rethinking how suppliers are onboarded, governed, or mobilised.

We encourage readers to take these perspectives into their own work: share them with teams, raise them in project reviews, or use them to test existing approaches. The value of insight comes when it sparks new ideas, questions, and conversations that move delivery forward.
