Background to the project
The Board of Manaaki Tāngata Victim Support engaged TBL Consulting to provide advice on options for the future governance of Victim Support and to support the Board to determine the preferred way forward. This involved deep engagement with the Regional and Local Governance Committees, and their members.
The Board were particularly appreciative of our engagement, with us offering direct contact with their committee members. They believed our work was directly responsive for the unanimous vote for change and would love to work with us again. The Board described us in three words: “engaged, aware, listened.” They expressed their willingness to recommend us to others.
Our approach allowed for rich discussions, inclusion of multiple perspectives and time for everyone to digest the options which encouraged future-focused thinking and decision making. We are privileged to be able to support the non-for-profit sector to enhance their governance, to support their current and future needs.
The case
TBL Consulting conducted in-depth comparator research and engaged a wide range of stakeholders, ensuring the perspectives of Local and Regional Committee members were well-represented. We developed a comprehensive report that captured the current state, identified upcoming challenges, and presented clear, strategic options for the future, providing a strong foundation for meaningful discussions.
Our approach fostered robust dialogue, integrated diverse viewpoints, and allowed ample time for thoughtful reflection, enabling forward-thinking and effective decision-making.
We are committed to supporting the not-for-profit sector in enhancing their governance to meet future needs.
The outcomes
One of the standout achievements of this project was the meaningful engagement with long-serving member stakeholders, accomplished through a variety of tailored stakeholder engagement approaches.
The Tregaskis Brown team had the privilege of presenting to the National Board and Regional and Local Committee members during their AGM, culminating in our facilitation of the final kōrero session with key stakeholders.
The preferred option received unanimous support from members and has now being implemented. We extend our best wishes to Victim Support as they continue their governance journey, and we are honoured to have contributed to this important milestone.
