How the Policy Project can help you

As well as the many tools and resources we provide on these webpages, we also offer a range of services to help the New Zealand government improve its policy performance.

Please contact us at policy.project@dpmc.govt.nz if you’d like to talk about the help we offer, which could include:

• Leading sessions on applying our policy improvement frameworks (on Policy Quality, Policy Skills and organisational Policy Capability)
• Peer reviewing action plans
• Running skill-building sessions
• Facilitating training, such as:
  • Policy analysis fundamentals
    Learn about the characteristics of quality police advice, and how to undertake the fundamentals of policy analysis.
  • Start Right workshops
    Learn how to commision and initiate successful policy projects with Start Right, and what to focus on in the exploration phase to ensure success.
  • Developing policy advice
    Learn how to use our Policy Quality Framework and Checklist to produce better quality policy advice.
  • Intervention logic
    Learn about intervention logic and how to identify the risks and assumptions of an intervention logic model.

We’re happy to tailor our support to what works for your policy team, wherever you’re at on your journey.
