We are currently preparing our second long-term insights briefing, which will explore trends, risks and opportunities facing our Public Service. The briefing is expected to be completed in June 2025.
More information on long-term insights briefings including a list of published briefings and current consultations can be found on our website.
The topic of the briefing
To help build informed discussion and set the context for the development of our briefing, we consulted on what the focus of our second briefing should be. The consultation document can be found here.
How is New Zealand’s Public Service prepared for the future?
Consultation ran from 16 September 2024 to 13 October 2024. We received 60 submissions both through our online survey and via email.
Next steps
Once we have a final decision from the Commissioner on the topic of the briefing, we will publish this alongside the results of the consultation, including the submissions we received and our analysis of the key themes. Then we will start preparing the draft briefing. Once we have a full draft of the briefing, we will again seek public feedback. If you are interested in getting updates on this process and future long-term insights briefings, feel free to email us.
