Sectors

Maven is a proudly New Zealand company, committed to supporting our clients to flourish.

Maven has significant experience transforming the operations of organisations in many sectors. Our people come from multidisciplinary backgrounds, with many having been involved in senior executive and operational management roles as well as consulting and major programme delivery.

We take a pragmatic approach to all our assignments. We offer services and advice tailored to the size and complexity of the organisation with which we are dealing. Many international methods and processes are geared towards operations much larger than those in New Zealand and are inflexible when applied in a New Zealand context. Maven has developed customised approaches and frameworks to support our service delivery by using recognised international best practice methods and adapting them to our clients' unique situations. We ensure there is an intelligent application of these to any situation.

 

Public Sector

We know how government works and we provide solutions that fit.

Maven is committed to supporting the New Zealand public service in its mission to improve lives. We possess a deep understanding of how government operates, allowing us to provide tailored solutions that align with the public sector's unique needs and challenges. Our focus lies in increasing service value by comprehending the motivations and needs of New Zealander's when engaging with government.

We work collaboratively, striving to enhance performance and optimise processes. We recognise the complexity of government stakeholders and the importance of effective engagement. Maven assists in navigating the intricacies of these relationships, fostering support and cooperation to drive successful outcomes.


 

Private Sector

Maven helps businesses to innovate, grow and be more efficient.

Maven strives to help businesses understand their markets, both domestic and overseas, enabling them to transition seamlessly from strategy to actionable business plans with speed and efficiency. By working alongside our clients' teams, we collaboratively identify opportunities for improvement, enhancing not only what they do, but how they do it.

We place a strong emphasis on understanding the drivers and motivations of customers, empowering our clients to unlock new revenue streams and establish deeper connections. Ultimately, our goal is to assist businesses in navigating the dynamic private sector landscape in New Zealand, driving growth and success in a competitive market.


 

 

Local Government

The local government landscape is evolving, presenting new challenges, risks, and opportunities. We can help you adapt.

The rapidly evolving operating environment has put pressure on the traditional design of councils to deliver improved community outcomes and services. Maven's co-design approach ensures that we work closely and collaboratively with you to develop solutions that not only effectively address your unique needs and challenges but also reflect your context.

The demanding nature of day-to-day operations, coupled with the complexity of ongoing reforms, often leaves local government entities overwhelmed and uncertain about the future, struggling to find the necessary capacity to proactively address these challenges. By engaging in a partnership, we aim to coach and mentor you throughout the delivery process, to develop new capabilities within your team. This approach enables you to embrace change, adapt to evolving circumstances, and sustain the impact of the solutions beyond our engagement.


 

Non-Government Organisations, Not-for-Profits, Membership Organisations

Maven helps Non-Government Organisations, Not-for-Profits and Membership organisations to evolve their services and improve their efficiency and effectiveness, to make every dollar count.

Maven's focus lies on increasing service value, improving performance, and engaging stakeholders for organisations. We recognise the importance of understanding the motivations and drivers of funders, donors, and end users to effectively engage them and enhance the value of services provided. By working closely with our clients' teams, we collaborate to improve their operations and processes, ensuring that they deliver their services more efficiently and effectively. Stakeholder management and engagement within the non-government sector is complex. We assist our clients in navigating these intricacies, helping them build strong relationships, gain support, and create meaningful partnerships to drive outcomes.
