A coordinated and long-term approach to strategic thinking is essential for managing New Zealand’s health and prosperity over the long term.

The Institute has just published Think Piece 21: Strategy Stewardship Matters: Utilising the Government Departments Strategies Index. The primary aim of this piece is to explain the purpose of a recent Project StrategyNZ initiative, The Government Department Strategies Index 2015, and how it can be used to bring strategies to the forefront of public policy.

The think piece states that ‘the Index is a tool designed to empower institutions and individuals alike, building a narrative based on hindsight, insight and foresight – the three different perspectives that underlie effective strategy design and efficient strategy implementation’.
