Case studies
As part of our Best Practice workstream, the Commission has conducted case studies examining international examples of best practice in public administration.
New Zealand’s Innovative Government Reforms
This case study describes two recent reforms in New Zealand: the introduction of wellbeing budgeting, and the Public Service Act 2020. Both address issues important to the Commission’s work, including effective strategy-setting, financial planning, overcoming departmentalism, and a focus on citizens. These reforms are the latest phase in New Zealand’s public service reform journey, dating back to the 1980s.
