Special Jurisdictions Capability Review |
Contract and Investment Management |
|
| Maven was engaged by the Ministry of Justice’s Special Jurisdictions unit (310 people spread across three primary business units) to carry out a full review of organisational capability, and to make recommendations to move the organisation forward. | Maven was engaged by SPARC assist them move from a grants focus to a proactive contracts and investment management approach, in order to achieve transparency and accountability in their investments in sport and recreation. The project introduced a standard approach to contract management within the organisation that impacted all functional units and brought a significant change to business operational procedures | |
| The assignment incorporated aspects of organisational culture assessment, scenarios, deep analysis on the functional aspects of the organisation, review of organisational structures, roles and responsibilities, and review of business processes and financial measures. | Initially Maven led a strategic visioning phase which considered conceptual process design. A business case was then developed, addressing existing contract and investment processes. High level process and system requirements were designed, followed by a detailed process and systems design. Maven provided project management services to implement the new processes and system. | |
| The end result of the review has been a well received report, with an action plan that has been circulated to Chief Executive level, and is likely to form the basis of a significant programme of change for Special Jurisdictions over the next three years. | SPARC had clear processes for contracts and investment management that had been developed and signed off by their own staff, and were supported by a new information system to handle contracts. | |

| Future Scenario Development for the Central Region District Health Boards Clinical Services Plan (CSP) | ||
| Central Region DHBs are facing critical strategic issues around how and where clinical services will be delivered regionally in the 10-15 year horizon. They embarked on a CSP development project to determine how hospital services could be redesigned for improved health outcomes and more sustainable services, whilst taking into account current structures and emerging trends. |
"Maven’s professionalism, facilitation skills and strategic planning experience have added substantial value to the process and the outcomes of our Regional Clinical Services Plan. In partnership with GFN, they have guided us and our stakeholders through an exciting exploration of the future enabling us to come back to the current issues and look at them from a different perspective, leading to fresh, innovative solutions for some long-standing and complex problems. Timeliness, responsiveness, communication and quality of documentation have been impressive." Dr Zoran Bolevich, General Manager – Central Region TAS |
|
| Maven (partnering with Global Foresight Network) assisted in developing a set of future scenarios that would support TAS’s development of a strategic CSP. The assignment included an emerging future scan and a series of workshops with clinicians, managers and consumer representatives from the lower North Island. This group of 40 health sector experts developed a set of future scenarios against which five future service configuration options (potential geographic footprints for the delivery of clinical services across the region), were then assessed. | ||
| At the end of the fourth workshop, TAS, and the participants, had considerably greater insight into the future of the health industry and the strategic implications of that future to the clinical services in their region. They were able to critically appraise the future service configuration options against the future trends to a point where they could be further refined to then inform strategic decision making. |
