GHD's management structure is underpinned by the Enterprise Leadership Team (ELT), a team of senior executives empowered by the GHD board to plan, manage and lead our business.
Committed and connected approach
The ELT aims to provide supportive leadership to encourage a client-service led culture that is driven by a connected global network of professionals. Each month, the ELT meets in a different location across GHD's operations, which enables our people and leaders to collaborate effectively towards a common purpose.
Specifically, the ELT is responsible for:
- Implementing strategy
- Business performance management
- Systems, processes and policies
- People, culture and values
- Succession, leadership development
- Business plans and budget
