We launch a new-look Robust this quarter, heralding a shift in emphasis and new challenges, as we look beyond our current strategy Rebuilding Murray & Roberts. And what better theme than to focus on our greatest of current challenges – the market?

It is said that the more things change, the more they stay the same. If this is so, then how does development take place? Why is it that confronted each day with change in our environment, our natural resistance to change seems unchangeable?

We have achieved our second wind, but seem suddenly becalmed in a sea of market indecision and residual internal damage from the storm through which we have passed. As we repair this damage, we are also building the strength and capability to engage the journey ahead. Our destination is changing from turnaround to growth and our focus from operations to marketing. The passage will not be calm and steady.

More change and more challenge. We are fortunate to have secured more leadership to our team. Norbert Jorek and Peter Adams bring a new international dimension to our capacity and Philip Chaba strengthens our domestic capability. Read more about them inside and in the next issue.

We are establishing a more meaningful international presence in preparation for the journey ahead. This will change the way we operate and require a change in the way we value our individual and collective contribution to Rebuilding Murray & Roberts.

Our markets are changing and so must we.
