Hon Dr Megan Woods leads our first 2022 Governance in Government series, held in association with KPMG. This series explores policy settings and governance issues across the public sector.
Directors’ play a key role when it comes to ensuring their organisations are future focussed and determining the role research and development plays in preparing them for the future.
Deployed effectively, R&D enables organisations to explore and create new competitive advantages – including developing new systems and processes or building and commercialising entirely new products and services.
Funding public and private sector R&D is something governments around the world are more absorbed by than ever before, as they seek to address issues such as climate change, health challenges and social equity.
Progressive Boards are now very aware of the importance of Science and Technology in their skillsets, to support both Government and Industry priorities in the future.
Minister Woods will share views on the role government and company directors’ can play in growing corporate and NZ’s productivity through innovative research and development.
