6. Organisational health and capability

To fulfil our roles, the Ministry must be efficient and continually improving. The focus of the Ministry's capability development initiatives originates from the three year Organisational Development Plan (ODP) - started in 2006 - with the objective to ensure that the outcomes in the Statement of Intent are reflected in, and drive, the organisation's structure, systems and processes, priorities, capability development and investment decisions. The ODP represents a significant opportunity to improve the way we operate and is entering its final year.

The major strategies to maintain organisational health and capability are set out below. Table 1 shows the linkages between the strategies and the State Sector Goals.
