The
steamy tropical jungles of Borneo and the exotic Asian hawker stalls of
Kuching are an unlikely place to find New Zealand consultants. However,
it was there in the Malaysian state of Sarawak that Guinness Gallagher,
together with the New Zealand Forest Research Institute, undertook the
corporatisation of the Sarawak State Forest department. With an annual
income of over US$500 million, the restructuring and transfer of the former
department into a new corporate body was an ambitious task undertaken
over a number of years by a small team of advisers led by Shaan Stevens
of Guinness Gallagher. The project involved Shaan spending extended periods
in the jungles of Borneo from which, if his stories are to be believed,
he was lucky to escape with his life.
