The paths to the future are not found, but created.

Welcome to McKinlay Douglas Ltd (MDL). We have been providing independent, expert advice on public policy issues, strategy and governance to public and private sector entities for nearly 20 years. Our reputation for being leaders in specialised fields of central and local government have built us a solid clientele in our home base New Zealand, and a reach into the international arena.

Our philosophy, and our practice, is to work alongside our clients, developing new thinking and producing practical solutions. What we deliver is based on multi-disciplinary skills and the strengths of our New Zealand and international networks.

Our website showcases much of our work. We are pleased to offer our library as a resource for others. Please respect the intellectual property you will find here. We would appreciate acknowledgement of MDL when quoted.
