A flurry of activity amongst NZ’s Auckland Regional and Local Authorities as the Royal Commission http://www.royalcommission.govt.nz prepares to digest and deliver their verdict on the next “super city” for the Region.

Design is a core brand attribute of ClearPoint. The word itself means many things to many people. Great design, for us, is about a certain naturalness of use.

Design talent, coupled with technology and strong leadership, is absolutely the key to implementing great things. When mixed with new ideas, it sparks innovation and the results are spectacular from creating new markets (SaaS ERP), to breakthrough products (iPod, iPhone), to dramatic changes to existing business models (airline online booking). And what’s more – there is latent demand for (re)design everywhere. We are constantly thinking, challenging and wondering. Which industry is next?
