Kia ora e te whānau
I hope you’ve all had a great couple of weeks and are staying warm and dry in your part of our beautiful, snow-capped island.
I had the pleasure of spending a very sunny, warm few days up in Nelson last week, hanging out with the Nelson Tasman and Marlborough crew for their kaimahi workshop. They’re a lively, innovative bunch up there, doing some very cool things and so along with a lot of fun and laughter I learnt a lot – thank you Michelle and the team for being such great hosts and making Nic and I feel so welcome.
Here’s a couple of pics of the team hard at work, sharing their ideas and views on the future.
Now all the workshops are complete, we’ll collate the information gathered and put this up on the Maggie site. What was evident in all three workshops is how aligned you are on what you want for the future and how working as one can help us achieve this. Look out for more information on this on the Maggie site later next week.
The Kaimahi Advisory Group met this week, and their focus for the next two weeks is on gathering content for the Who’s Who page, and getting familiar with some other members of Maggie’s whānau so we can introduce you to them soon.
Right now, there’s a lot of work happening behind the scenes to map our current state and gather requirements for the future, to validate the benefits of working together and what other opportunities exist for us as a single entity. This has meant gathering and analysing data and information on things like finance, structure, technology, systems, processes and service activity levels. A huge thank you to everyone who’s helping to provide this information, it is very much appreciated!
We’re now well into the project so it’s timely to look back at the dates we’re working towards. As you know, we’ve got two major milestones for Maggie:
End of August – delivery of the plan to operationalise collaboration between Canterbury West Coast and Otago Southland Divisions, to the two Boards for decision.
End October – delivery of the business case for unification, to the four Boards for decision whether to progress to member vote.
We’re on track to meet these milestones and look forward to sharing further updates with you as we progress further.
Over the coming months the various Annual General Meetings will be taking place around the regions. These meetings will enable us to engage with members and introduce them to Maggie properly for the first time, which we can't wait to do.
That’s it for this update. As always, if you have questions or ideas, then get in touch to let us know or have a chat to your leader or Kaimahi Advisory Group member.
