Current Sections: About the HRCHRC Stakeholder Survey 2007
OPRA Group was commissioned by the Health Research Council of New Zealand (HRC) to undertake an independent, objective review of organisational performance for 2006/07.
In particular, OPRA's objective was to gather feedback on the HRC's activities over the last year, with particular emphasis on organisational areas of strength and potential areas for development. The Survey was carried out between 20 July and 10 August 2007, and included a combination of telephone and electronic surveying, with a broad cross-section of the HRC's stakeholders to support the information gathering process.
"The Stakeholder Survey is a way for the views of those who engage with the HRC to have their say on our performance across our wide range of activities,” says HRC Chief Executive Dr Robin Olds.
“The Survey was carried out at a very opportune time,” says Dr Olds. “As the recently appointed Chief Executive of the HRC, I am interested in how the HRC is perceived, what we do well and where we can improve. Equally, the Survey comes just as the HRC begins work on its new strategic plan, which will guide our work for the next five years, and the Survey outcomes will help inform the new plan.”
Analysis of Survey responses suggests that the HRC is effective with its Partnership Programme, in communicating with stakeholder groups and in implementing specific health research initiatives.
“Areas where we can improve our performance have also been highlighted,” says Dr Olds. The HRC will identify how to lift our efforts in these areas, communicate how we will do this, and then in the next year evaluate whether we are making suitable progress.”
“I would like to thank those who took the time to participate in the HRC Stakeholder Survey,” he says.
