Public Policy
MartinJenkins contributes solutions for many of the most challenging public-policy issues New Zealand faces. We help our clients determine whether change is required to meet the public interest, and to navigate the complicated processes required for policy change.
We contribute both steady, proven approaches that are highly regarded by Ministers and public-sector leaders, and also innovative, cutting-edge knowledge and capability to solve emerging “gnarly” problems. We provide our greatest value to clients by working with them from the earliest stages to help shape their approach to a challenge.
All-of-Government provider: MartinJenkins is a registered provider of consultancy services in the All-of-Government (AoG) procurement scheme for Business and Finance services – as of December 2016.
