Key Changes from Draft Organisational Review Report

20. There are a few key changes from the proposals put forward in the Draft Organisational Review Report. These are:

• The policy team now has responsibility for all strategic policy analysis including trade measurement policy (policy frameworks).
• The term advisor is now used consistently to describe the policy roles (as opposed to a combination of advisor and analyst).
• The Senior Advisor Product Safety position will remain within the MAPS team for a 10 month transition period to project manage the establishment of the product safety "network". Should the budget bids for the new MAPS officer positions prove unsuccessful, the decision to transfer this position to the Policy team will be reviewed. When this position does transfer to the policy team it will be untagged.
• We will proceed with the admin support team proposals. Admin support team members will be coordinated by the Strategic Business Advisor. However they will be located in the teams for which they are key contacts. The Auckland admin support position will be reinstated at 0.8 FTE. The Christchurch staff will be supported through the Southern Business Centre support staff.
• The Capability Advisor (Māori) will be a senior position.
• One of the four Advisor Consumer Issues positions will be based in Christchurch. This is to facilitate the provision of on-site specialist assistance to the Contact Centre staff when required.
• The Market Intelligence Group will be renamed the Research, Information and Capability Group.
• The Market Practice Advisors will be renamed Advisors, Consumer Issues.
