Ownership

The Crown's core interests as 'owner' can be thought of as:

• Strategy - the Crown's interest is that each state sector organisation contributes to the public policy objectives recognised by the Crown;
• Capability - the Crown's interest is that each state sector organisation has, or is able to access, the appropriate combination of resources, systems and structures necessary to deliver the organisation's outputs to customer specified levels of performance on an ongoing basis into the future;
• Performance - the Crown's interest is that each organisation is delivering products and services (outputs) that achieve the intended results (outcomes), and that in doing so, each organisation complies with its legislative mandate and obligations, including those arising from the Crown's obligations under the Treaty of Waitangi, and operates fairly, ethically and responsively.
