The NZDF Strategic Plan provides guidance for all subordinate strategic planning and for annual planning and budgeting through the Defence Planning Directive. It is a core component within the wider architecture of the Defence Planning Framework (DPF)1 - as shown in this simple diagram:
The NZDF Strategic plan provides the measurement framework [via the NZDF Balanced Scorecard (BSC)] for corporate level reporting of progress against strategic objectives. In the shorter-term the strategic objectives are supported by annually updated strategic initiatives. The following information on the NZDF Strategic Plan is supported by and should be read in conjunction with the diagram on the next page - the NZDF Strategy Map.
The NZDF strategy to achieve its mission and to continually grow towards its vision will be effected through the three Strategic Themes of The Agile Force - Operationally Effective, Valued Partner - Organisational Capacity, and Resource Efficiency. All NZDF activities and projects will be aligned with these three broad strategic themes and are aimed at, ultimately, “mission success”. These themes should be seen as the Agile Force as the central theme supported equally by the other two themes - Valued Partner and Resource Efficiency - as portrayed in the Strategy Map.
Note
1 The Defence Planning Framework is discussed in more detail later in this SOI.
