About the Strategic Implementation Programme (SIP)

The Strategic Implementation Programme (SIP) is a five-year programme to put Tā Mātou Ahunga Rautaki, our Strategic Direction for 2025–2030 into action.  

Our Strategic Direction outlines where we want to be by 2030, the kind of organisation we aim to become, and the key areas we need to focus on to get there. Reaching these goals will require us to change how we operate today. 

Strategy isn’t just a high-level concept - it’s our shared plan. It shapes how we lead, what we focus on, and what gets funded and delivered. 

SIP has been established to deliver the changes required to achieve these strategic outcomes and to enact the new strategy. The SIP represents a structured, aligned and phased 5-year programme of work which enacts change so that we can deliver a set of key shifts, and therefore make the strategy a reality. The programme currently consists of 70 initiatives identified  through a comprehensive and thorough shortlisting process. The initiatives were sourced from the Business Planning work and Medium-Term Outlooks. 

These initiatives have been identified as part of the SIP because they are current projects, programmes and workstreams that will significantly contribute to or enable, Fire and Emergency to deliver the strategic shifts outlined in Our Strategic Direction. We will continue to  build out the 5-year programme of work within our funding, operational and strategic priorities and constraints. 

The SIP is aligned to the pou (below) and shift statements that will deliver strategic outcomes:
