How we work
We are committed to innovation and disrupting the norm to achieve system change
Innovate and disrupt
The South Auckland Social Wellbeing Board use a test and learn approach in order to innovate and disrupt the system. This is done through prototyping opportunities that have the potential to positively impact our South Auckland community. Prototyping enables us to be fluid and responsive to the needs of our communities and partners. Our approach is supported by an in-house evidence and insights team who capture learnings and enable us to make a case for change for collective action and to inform local and national decision making.
