Harder Yards Ahead: The Second Stage of Public Sector Reform in New Zealand

Author

Abstract

The strengths and weaknesses of the “New Zealand model of public management’ have been recognised in this country since 1996 and a progressive shift is occurring that preserves an output focus for budgeting and financial management but introduces ‘managing for outcomes’ for programme and policy management. Derived from the Review of the Centre and initiatives such as Pathfinder, this second stage of reform is building on established foundations but needing hard work over coming years to bring it to fruition. There is much to applaud amongst current improvements but, on the surface they seen conservative and too slow to develop. They might, however, represent progressive ‘collective learning’ in contrast to the rapid and radical reforms of the first stage.
