The Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) has appointed Helen Campbell as its new director of strategy, performance and assurance. As the head of the government's project-delivery system, Campbell (pictured) will be responsible for driving cross-government and industry collaboration, as well as pushing improvements in project delivery, the IPA said. The authority aims to achieve this with better benchmarking data and by gathering independent assessments on project delivery. IPA chief executive Nick Smallwood said: "With the publication of the National Infrastructure Strategy and the government’s commitment to build back better, it has never been more important to consistently deliver our major projects successfully."
