Our digital and data journey
On this page
MBIE’s Digital Blueprint Programme uses technology and data platforms effectively and keeps MBIE’s technology environment safe and secure. Over the past year, the programme has delivered several new capabilities. These include: enhanced monitoring and response activities to cyber threats, ensuring MBIE digital assets are protected, secure access to systems resources and networks, multi-year ICT vendor contracts and the introduction of evergreen concepts to avoid the need for annual costly upgrades.
Our Empowered by Data Programme aims to progressively raise our data and insights maturity and make MBIE a data- and evidence-led organisation.
These insights are used to support the delivery of our services, as well as the development and monitoring of government policy. Data and insights provide evidence and the ability to measure outcomes while providing information and intelligence for decision-making.
During 2023/24, MBIE continued to mature its data capability and platforms. We developed a products and services catalogue, the Enterprise Data Governance Policy, and data-focused online training modules for
all MBIE staff. This work also created the foundations for MBIE to develop its new data strategy – Te Mātahi. Te Mātahi aims to create an integrated data system designed to unlock the value of data to drive economic growth, innovation and prosperity for Aotearoa New Zealand.
