Mō te tīma | About the team
The Change Management Office (CMO) sits within the Organisation Support Group, the aim of this small but mighty team is to improve DOC's change capability and to shift the dial from people feeling like change ‘happens' to them to a future where people feel they're helping to lead change. The CMO is the steward of DOCs change methodology, tools and materials utilised to deliver effective change management approaches across all change activity. It also has accountability to the investment governance groups for ensuring good change outcomes.
