Why government matters

Understanding the inner workings of government is critical for anyone
who works in government: central or local. Or you may provide services
to either sector. Our expert offerings demystify processes and structures
and make sure you grasp the "why," "what," and "how" at every level.

​

Our expertise includes:

• How Government Works
  Gain a comprehensive understanding of the political landscape and government systems tailored to your sector and agency. Whether you're in education, transport, environmental protection, social development or any other sector, we help you connect the dots and make sense of who does what and who’s accountable to whom. Learn through real events and current issues, including state sector structures, Te Tiriti, ethics, and the dynamics of working with ministers.

​

• Official Information Acts (OIA & LGOIMA)
  Get a solid foundation in the Official Information Act (OIA) and the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act (LGOIMA). We get to the heart of both and how they operate in the real world. You’ll be up to date with the role of the Ombudsman and how to make sure you comply. Our approach brings official information to life with real-world cases and up-to-date insights.

​

• Local Government dynamics
  Explore how local government operates, from council services, planning and funding, to governance and management. Understand how central and local government work together and dive into specific challenges your council faces. These include water, infrastructure, and funding. We continually update these programmes to reflect real-time changes and trends in the sector. That means they’re relevant, up to date and practical.
