Summary of DPMC’s outcome and output framework




The government’s key strategic priority for the next decade is achieving true sustainability in New Zealand through its work programme of:

  • economic transformation
  • families – young and old
  • national identity.

DPMC will support the Prime Minister in carrying forward this strategic agenda by working with Treasury, State Services Commission, and other key departments, so that the government’s priorities are delivered.

DPMC’s Contributing Outcomes:

  1. Decision making by the Prime Minister and Cabinet is well informed and supported.
  2. Executive government is well conducted and continues in accordance with accepted conventions and practices.
  3. The Governor-General is well supported.
  4. The management of domestic and external security risks is well planned, informed and co-ordinated.
  5. A high-performing, trusted and accessible state sector, delivering the right things, in the right way, at the right prices.


Cost effectiveness


DPMC continuously seeks and receives feedback from the Prime Minister and the Governor-General on whether and how well its outputs are hitting their mark. This feedback enables qualitative judgements to be made on DPMC’s effectiveness, and helps identify opportunities for improvement.

Other stakeholders are also in a position to assess DPMC’s effectiveness (e.g. in its leadership, co-ordination and advisory roles) and their views will be formally sought via a stakeholder survey during the forecast period.
