Performance Improvement Framework (PIF) Review
MPI was assessed through the PIF process in late 2015. Based on the PIF review MPI has identified 4 focus areas:
- Continue developing MPI's growth programme and improving the initiatives already underway
- Lead within Government, with the primary industries and across communities
- Increase our focus on customers.
- Embed the internal conditions for outstanding performance
A panel of independent reviewers assessed the current state of MPI in late 2012, and considered how well it is placed to deal with the opportunities and challenges faced over the medium-term. The reviewers noted 4 'future state' enhancements - managing and developing MPI’s people, delivering on our export goal, MPI’s leadership role, and systems management. The review was managed by the State Services Commission.
