About us

Millpond originated in 2011 to present a new face to Project Management in New Zealand. A company dedicated to integrity and excellence was formed and they and their team continue to live and breathe the values of excellence that sets Millpond apart.

Realising the need for education in Project Management, they purchased Falcon Training, a local Project Management education provider in 2015. Millpond and Falcon Training merged in 2020 to provide the complete suite of professional Project Management services.

“The nature of complex, enterprise scale projects is that they can become chaotic – so big they are difficult to conceptualise and then execute. Millpond comes with a unique mix of experience, skills and project management tools, as well as the ability to be flexible and respond to our organisation’s challenges.”

(Based on 2020 Customer Research Project)

Why ‘Millpond’

A ‘millpond’ is a pond that powers a mill. A calm body of water that provides the energy to drive the mill’s wheel and therefore its’ operations.

At Millpond we want to create the same dynamic in your business. By creating calm across your projects, no matter the breadth and complexity, we help create the momentum you need to move your organisation forward.

By providing a full range of project management services and training, we can enhance your project management skills and capabilities to help you achieve your envisaged business outcomes.

In the stressful and sometimes chaotic mix of projects any complex organisation is running, Millpond’s promise is creating calm. The calmness of the millpond, creating the power and energy required to get your organisation moving.

Millpond. Creating Calm.
