Standards New Zealand had an outstanding set of achievements in 2010 – 2011 under our strategic priorities, which have been to sustain, invest, and grow. Below are some of our key successes.
- Financial result – We recorded a $591K budget surplus, which represents our most financially successful year for the last decade. This result has allowed us to continue to rebuild our reserves and reinvest in our infrastructure to better serve our customers and clients.
- Stakeholder engagement and satisfaction – We maintained high levels of customer, client, and committee member satisfaction.
- Product development – We published 156 Standards, including the limited technical review of NZS 3604:1999 Timber framed buildings. The 2011 edition is now cited as an Acceptable Solution under the New Zealand Building Code.
- International standing and relationships – We continued to build on our strong relationship with Standards Australia and to represent New Zealand in the international Standards community.
- Sustainability underpinned by continuous improvement – We addressed the highest business risk on our risk register by replacing our legacy computer systems and identified new ways of operating more efficiently and effectively, while ensuring value for money to our customers and clients. This Information Systems Strategic Plan (ISSP) project was delivered on time and within budget. The project has far-reaching implications for our ability to carry out our work effectively and efficiently.
