Induction: Crown Entity Board Members
This page provides the induction pack used by the Public Service Commission for all incoming statutory Crown entity chairs. Crown entities and monitoring departments may find these materials useful in complimenting their own induction programmes.
Crown entities make up a large and diverse part of New Zealand’s public sector. They deliver services, regulate sectors, and carry out a broad range of government functions. Governance of Crown entities sits with their boards (or, in a few instances, a corporation sole). Board members bring valuable skills and experience, but may be new to the expectations, conventions, and responsibilities of operating within the public sector.
These induction materials are designed primarily for new board members of statutory Crown entities, though entities and monitoring agencies may use them to enhance their existing induction processes.
We welcome feedback or questions about this material. The Public Service Commission can also consider requests to support presentations—contact cerc@publicservice.govt.nz
