Background
Following the initial thinking on Waka Kotahi digital ambition in early 2021, we commenced the
development of a Digital Strategy. Digital updates to the Board and Risk and Assurance Commit ee
have outlined the approach/methodology that has been taken to date.
This included using collateral that has been developed over the last two years, various strategic
inputs, workshops with key internal stakeholders across Waka Kotahi and external trend analysis.
Customer discovery work is underway to provide a greater depth of understanding for opportunities
and challenges.
This has resulted in a high-level strategic framework that wil outline our focus for our digital future. 1982
Key issues We are taking this opportunity to check that our digital strategic ambitions are appropriately aligned
Act
with the Board’s strategic objectives.
We wil continue to keep the Board updated as delivery plans are finalised, with a final strategy
being provided for the end of May.
Health & safety, customer/stakeholder & environmental impact The impact of this strategy is considered by Waka Kotahi to be positive in terms of health and
safety, the public and other stakeholders, and the environment.
Information
Any disruption to our land transport network or our customer facing services, caused because of a
digital risk materialising, could have a significant adverse impact on the health and safety of the
public and other stakeholders.
