A culture of optimism and creativity

Refer to monitoring framework for Change Message 9 ?

The strength of the contribution from the tertiary system will ultimately depend on its ability to create a culture of action, creativity, innovation and optimism, and one that is unique to New Zealand. This means ensuring the attitudes of providers and organisations in the system are characterised by:

a focus on achieving results and outcomes, and a ‘can-do’ approach;
a willingness to take risks and to accept and learn from failure;
a culture that encourages and rewards creativity and success and in which the best ideas emerge and are supported;
embracing diversity, leading to success through difference;
a strong identification with New Zealand’s unique culture and its natural environment; and
an acceptance of continuous change, and the need to form and dissolve alliances to pull together the right resources and people to capitalise on emerging opportunities.
