The NZDF strategy is organised across four Perspectives – Our Stakeholders, Enabling Processes, Resources, and Learning and Growth.

• Our Stakeholders. This perspective recognises who our stakeholders are [Government (central government and other government departments and agencies) with whom we share common outcomes, the citizens of New Zealand, and our defence partners] and what our strategy must deliver for our stakeholders. It reflects the mission-focused nature of public sector organisations, subject to Government mandate and limitation. For the NZDF this covers those organisational outcomes that our strategy must deliver to meet the expectations of stakeholders.
• Enabling Processes. This perspective focuses on the internal organisational processes that we must excel at to meet all the requirements of the NZDF mission, effectively and efficiently, within the resources allocated.
• Resources. This perspective looks at how we must obtain and manage our resources base to deliver our mission. It reflects how we will maximise output effectiveness from predetermined baselines, while controlling costs.
• Learning and Growth. This perspective looks at how we sustain our ability to change and improve. It reflects the need to build the NZDF of the future in our people, our organisation, and our information resources.

The NZDF Strategic Objectives across the three Strategic Themes and within the four Perspectives are listed within the NZDF Strategic Initiatives table shown later. In summary, the NZDF Strategic Objectives - grouped by Perspective and showing the main priorities - for the period of this Statement of Intent (but updated annually) relate to:

• Perspective - Our Stakeholders. The strategic objectives are:
  • Current Operations. We need to sustain current operational commitments while introducing new capabilities (0 to 5 year timeframe) - Priority 1²
  • Future Operations. We must be ready to meet the Government’s next request (0 to 10 year timeframe).
  • Finance and Resources. We must make best use of allocated finance and resources.
  • Reputation. We need to enhance our reputation as an effective Defence Force and valued interagency and coalition partner.
