What are the development plans?
This section describes the progress that is likely to be made during the next year in the way in which we manage outcomes and on how we report upon our progress.
The Ministry has worked to improve the manner in which it manages for outcomes during the past year. In terms of ongoing internal development, the focus will be on:
- developing the monitoring framework by working further with agencies who are delivering the programmes, to ensure they complete the activities to which they have committed and are able to show, from indicators, that the activities are having the impact they intend
- strengthening the ongoing evaluative work as indicated in last year's Statement of Intent and now in progress
- developing more ideas on some innovative practice
- improving the prioritisation process to include cost-effectiveness
- building on the current management and leadership practice, particularly working to align all staff with the role, purpose and outcomes of the Ministry and building leadership capability in senior staff.
Next year's Statement of Intent should therefore be able to show:
- more developed performance indicators in terms of the progress of the Action Plan
- the results of evaluative studies and how effectiveness was improved
- evidence that capability improvements have continued through ongoing tracking of capability measures, including climate surveys and reviews of the policy development processes.
