2. Observations/Trends The world we work in is changing - FAST!
Technology is changing the way people engage - donors and people with diabetes
Finance sources are changing
The capability expectations at governance & management level are rising
The transparency & accountability expectations are higher than ever
How we work is constantly changing

New business models are becoming the norm

3. Observations/Trends
Clarity on organisational purpose and strategy is more important than ever
CE, the board & our staff need to be appropriately skilled to work in a disruptive environment
Fundraising
Collaboration and consolidation will be increasingly likely for sustainability
Managing stakeholder perception is vital – we must be seen to be having the impact we said we would
Poor operators will struggle but… Good operators will wield a lot of influence

4. Our current Mission (as stated on our website)
Diabetes New Zealand’s mission is to provide support for all New Zealanders with diabetes, or at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes, to live full and active lives.
What do we do?
Support
We offer support and information to help people take charge of their health and live well with diabetes. We do not provide medical information or advice – we complement the services of other healthcare providers.
Education
We have lots of information about diabetes, nutrition and healthy living. It’s available as pamphlets and on our website.
Advocacy
We represent people with diabetes and advocate for greater awareness and better services.
Awareness
We raise awareness about the challenges faced by people with diabetes and the action people need to take to avoid diabetes complications or to avoid developing type 2 diabetes.
Research
We support research into diabetes.

5. In strategic speak Diabetes: Contained, Controlled, Cured
Increase public knowledge of us and diabetes: All New Zealanders know who we are, what we do and why
Promote self-care: We support people to manage their own health and live healthy and active lives
Educate for health: Our resources are world class and complement treatment and self-care
Focus on prevention: Where possible we prevent Type 2 diabetes and diabetes complications
Advocate for better services: Our voice is heard and respected - we use it to ensure New Zealand has first-rate services for people with diabetes
Encourage research: We support research that has both the short-term and the long-term prospect of improving lives

6. Diabetes NZ 2020 Update of our strategy
We have commenced the process of looking at our organisation and where we need to be in the coming years
Phase 1 was the initial Constitution review that has resulted in a number of amendments to be approved at the AGM
Phase 2 was for the Board to review our strategy and mission statements to ensure we are clear in our direction and our on-going role in the wider health sector. This is ‘Diabetes NZ 2020’
Phase 3 Is the pending organisational review to commence in 2017 that you will all be invited to participate in

7. Diabetes NZ 2020 The process so far
The Board has spent some time discussing our vision for Diabetes NZ in 2020.
Key strategic areas were identified and what each means for Diabetes NZ was discussed and agreed
We then developed aspirational statements for each strategic area.
A new vision statement was drafted that better encapsulates what Diabetes NZ is and does.
These are what I am presenting to you today as the strategy to take us through the next 5 years - Diabetes NZ 2020

8. Our new Vision Diabetes: Understood and Managed.
Understood can stand for many things:
Awareness
Knowing your risk
Understanding what is needed to prevent or delay type 2
Knowing the difference between the types
Understanding the impact/consequences/challenges of diabetes.
Managed captures
Day to day self - management
Having the tools to do this
Knowing what to do when things are not as planned
Having the right clinical support at the right time where ever in NZ you live.
(The reference to cured has been removed as we believe this is not our core business. Although we support every endeavour to find a cure our niche role is about support an awareness.)
