Shaping the future of an organisation and community through place is not just about bricks and mortar, it’s about ensuring that every aspect of your design planning serves your strategic vision.

National or regional networks of property provide a foundation that allows organisations to operate effectively and achieve their strategic goals.

Without careful planning, this vital infrastructure can become disconnected from your overarching vision. Long-term decisions can inadvertently lead to properties in the wrong location, being over or undersized, too costly, or unfit for purpose.

By aligning your place-based planning with your strategic aspirations, you ensure that your property portfolio reflects and supports your organisational goals, brand and employee experience objectives – shaping a better future for both your company and the communities you serve.

Property Strategy BLUEPRINT

Six key steps

STRATEGIC INTENT

Understanding the strategic ‘business’ aspirations and goals, and the macro planning context, to identify the drives for transformation and change.

PORTFOLIO DASHBOARD

Undertaking diagnostic analysis of the current portfolio/assets/infrastructure and capturing the key metrics and insights. 

STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK

Creating the link between the strategic intent, portfolio risks and opportunities and the range of interventions available.

NETWORK PLAN

Mapping the “ideal portfolio” to best meet the strategic intent and operational requirements, nationally, by region and or by location to identify the extent of change needed.

PROPERTY PLAN

Developing the location by location ‘key moves’ and investment decisions needed to close the gap and achieve the future state.

IMPLEMENTATION ROADMAP

Developing 1, 3 and 5 year implementation plans to prioritise programmes, projects and investment.

The opening of NIWA’s new research centre, Tane te Waiora, in Hamilton, highlights the long-term planning necessary for significant investment decisions, particularly in critical infrastructure. The development of NIWA’s National Property Strategy, initiated in 2016, provided the ‘strategic case’ to support the need for reinvestment in NIWA’s core regional research sites, in Hamilton, Wellington and Christchurch. The strategy’s successful implementation demonstrates the enduring value of meticulous, future-oriented planning in achieving organisational aspirations.
