Operating excellence

We continually strive for excellence, thorough internal controls, policies, processes and systems that provide our stakeholders with confidence of an efficiently and effectively organised Ministry. Additionally, our commitment to stakeholders is best reflected in the breadth of our investments and work at the local level which has been recognised and acknowledged as being of public good.

It is our intention during the term of this Statement of Intent to gauge the appropriateness of our work, how it is valued by our stakeholders and to include initiatives to create enhanced public value in the communities.

In addition, Te Puni Kōkiri intends to keep aware of the changeable operating environment throughout the period of this Statement of Intent, by:

• Periodically reviewing the effectiveness of its risk management activities and dealing with new strategic risks as they arise;
• Ensuring the Ministry is responsive to key stakeholders such as state sector agencies, whānau, hapū, iwi, and Māori organisations and communities; and
• Phasing the business planning processes throughout the year so that changes to priorities can occur.
