Economic impacts of seismic risk: lessons for Wellington
The earthquakes in Canterbury have had a profound human and economic impact that will continue to be felt for many years. The devastating nature of these events has highlighted the importance of risk management and the consequent organisational preparedness.

NZ Post looks to be digital postie
Paul Reid, the man charged with bringing New Zealand Post into the digital era, has done away with his desk and reclines in a black leather lazyboy, laptop at the ready.
He says it's for comfort reasons more than anything else but it seems a fitting, new-age set up for the general manager of innovation and technology.
The exodus to email for personal and business communications means postage volumes - and NZ Post's profits - are plummeting.
