Enabling visibility to tackle climate change effectively

The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) embarked on an ambitious project to address climate change within their organisation. The project’s primary goal was to visualise and track all climate change-related initiatives within NZTA. This would enable the prioritisation of projects based on their real-world impact on climate change, a critical and timely objective.

The Challenge

NZTA faced a unique and complex challenge: to develop a system that could effectively track and prioritise various projects related to climate change. This required a deep understanding of systems thinking, as the projects were diverse and interlinked. The task involved extensive interviews with subject matter experts and collaboration across different teams. The main objective was to find a solution that not only tracked progress but also helped in aligning internal teams towards common climate change goals.

The Solution

To tackle this challenge, a multi-faceted approach was employed. This included conducting in-depth interviews with subject matter experts to gain insights into each project’s impact and interdependencies. A significant part of the solution was to simplify complex data and create a clear roadmap for internal communication and alignment. This was crucial for ensuring that all teams within NZTA worked cohesively towards shared climate change objectives. Additionally, a dashboard was designed to enable the leadership team to easily understand the status of various projects and make efficient, informed decisions.

The Outcome

The outcome of this project was a comprehensive system that allowed NZTA to efficiently track, prioritise, and manage their climate change-related projects. The roadmap and internal communication strategy ensured that all teams were aligned and focused on the key outcomes.

The leadership dashboard became an essential tool for monitoring progress and guiding strategic decisions. As a result, NZTA was able to make more informed and impactful decisions in their efforts to combat climate change, demonstrating a proactive and structured approach to a global challenge.
