I was extremely pleased with the way in which the process you employed quickly focused all staff on the core issues, and the progression to the identification of appropriate solutions to improve our performance.
Improvements in our rental income since revising the policy have also been significant, which attests to the success of the workshop. So thanks for a great job well done.

Sinclair Knight Merz has worked with Tierney Page Kirkland for approximately the last 10 years on a number of projects across an array of infrastructure disciplines. The work has consisted mainly of Value Management Workshops where Declan Tierney has organised, facilitated and reported on the varying issues with a high degree of understanding and interpretation of individual aspects and outcomes. All work has been performed in a thoroughly professional manner while maintaining fairness and decorum in what can sometimes be very emotional situations.
Brian Watson
Associate Sinclair Knight Merz
Once again, it was very re-assuring to have you facilitate a workshop. You managed the very large group of participants from diverse backgrounds extremely well and ensured that everyone was provided ample opportunity to contribute.
I look forward to your continued involvement through the risk management workshops for this project.

I attended a two-day workshop facilitated by Declan Tierney of Tierney Page Kirkland Pty Ltd. I was most impressed with Declan’s manner and methodology in dealing with a particularly difficult topic that was quite open ended. The gentle manner of representing and teasing out of comments from considered and careful listening on Declan’s part is something that I learnt from and I now apply in my own role in moving ideas forward on a daily basis.

The Sydney Water Corporation’s IICATS Wastewater Project is being delivered through a number of discrete packages of work. Each package uses partnering principles as a methodology to promote co-operative relationships between principal and contractor.
Declan Tierney of Tierney Page Kirkland Pty. Ltd. has facilitated the inaugural partnering workshop for each package. Through this facilitation the fundamental ground rules are established and self-monitoring framework identified for application throughout the contract.
The success in partnering experienced to date can be partially attributed to the initial introduction by Tierney Page Kirkland Pty. Ltd. and is reflected by Sydney Water Corporation returning to Tierney Page Kirkland Pty. Ltd. for subsequent workshops.
