Giving VTNZ a warrant of fitness.

In 2006 our Consultus Corporate PR and Encore Training teams entered into a partnership with Vehicle Testing New Zealand. Our mission: to clarify VTNZ's strategic brand positioning and equip managers and staff with the necessary skills and capabilities to bring this positioning to life.

Since then, we've worked closely with the VTNZ management team on a number of multi-faceted change management interventions. These included designing and managing strategic vision and planning workshops for the Board of Trustees and senior managers and interviewing senior managers to determine their level of engagement, their alignment with VTNZ's desired culture and the behaviours required to affect it.

We also organised national conferences and communication seminars to obtain buy-in of the identified strategy from management and staff, created organisation-wide commitment and value statements to embody the strategy at the everyday level and produced internal advertising, media and job performance aids.

On to of all that, Encore provided 360 degree assessments for senior managers and also conducted several leadership and management training programmes and workshops to equip VTNZ's leaders with the tools, tips and techniques to lead their teams through ongoing change, productivity and system review projects.

Our involvement with VTNZ is well into its fourth year and continues stronger than ever. Our partnership and understanding of VTNZ's strategy has transformed the theory of "just-in-time training" into both a strategic and operational reality.
