Work programme

At the McGuinness Institute, we are fortunate to be able to set our work programme in response to where we think we can best deliver value. This means the observations made throughout 2024 have shaped our work for 2025. We remain flexible throughout the year to ensure our focus remains on what we believe is most important for New Zealand’s long-term future.

Our work programme is updated throughout the year, so please check back every few months to see how it has evolved. We welcome collaboration, so if you are interested in anything, please contact us. Download our tentative 2025 work programme, or review previous work programmes.

Key datasets that the Institute continues to collect and analyse are as follows:

• Annual reports of NZX-listed companies,
• Government Department Strategies (GDSs),
• Long-term Insights Briefings (LTIBs),
• Political party agreements (e.g. coalition agreements, confidence and supply agreements, agreements inside formation and inside Government, and agreements outside formation but inside Government),
• Royal Commission Inquiries, and
• Scenarios published in New Zealand.

In addition to the projects outlined in our work programme, we prepare a range of submissions throughout the year. As submissions and their topics are determined by external parties, we have decided to show them in a seperate schedule below.
