26 Aktive Annual Report 2015/2016 STAKEHOLDER ALIGNMENT & SECTOR DEVELOPMENT One of our key strategic objectives is to align the sport and recreation sector within Auckland, and to improve the capability of organisations at all levels so participants have an excellent experience. Our alignment activity includes a mix of leadership and collaboration – creating collective opportunities to better understand the forces acting on the sector in Auckland, and contributing to the development and implementation of philosophies, policies and projects. We partnered with Auckland Council and Sport NZ in the delivery of the second annual Auckland sector conference at an event in February when the Minister for Sport, the Hon Dr Jonathan Coleman, and His Worship the Mayor of Auckland, Len Brown, introduced to the sector the findings of three pieces of research vitally important to all entities working in our city. Aktive has created a new governance initiative, the Chairs Roundtable, designed specifically for the chairs of Auckland-based NSOs and RSOs, backed by Sport NZ, and supported by Aktive partners Sheffield and Simpson Grierson. This initiative will expand in 2016/17 with further plenary sessions and the provision by Sheffield of bespoke Leadership in Sport courses for Chairs. Aktive is also a key partner in cross-sector, cross-code and cross-agency collaborative groups, OneVoice, Healthy Auckland Together, the Funders Forum, and the RSOmember organisation the Auckland Sports Coalition. Together these collaborations are able to consider a broad range of connected topics, including the increasinglyconverging aims of other Government Ministries in the well-being of all New Zealanders, and the broad objectives of Council in creating the world’s most liveable city. Aktive practices this collaboration in seeking good direction and input from other parties in creating its own workplan and agenda. Advisory groups in the tertiary sector, in Māori engagement, in coaching and talent development, and in the working of the Regional KiwiSport fund, bring a wide variety of people to tables to guide and inform our work. For specific projects HERA – Everyday Goddess and Good Sports the knowledge and skills of relevant and skilled industry practitioners has been crucial in shaping the detailed implementation of our plans. Aktive also takes a leadership role in issues that affect the sector widely, reading and understanding on behalf of the sector in Auckland, and distilling the issues and potential impact on the sector before contributing to national debate through submissions on the Class 4 Gambling Review and the Draft Incorporated Societies Bill. Back office alignment (shared services) The coordination of the shared services approach to administration across Aktive and the four local RSTs bore even more fruit, as expected, after the initial savings. The group has seen a 13% reduction in the ratio of the overall costs as a proportion of income since shared services was set up. A focus of efficiency and value for money sees the overall cost of Aktive’s administration run at just 6.4% of total income or 9.4% if shared services staff are included. Notably though, the value of the approach has been recognised by regional and national sporting organisations outside Aktive’s immediate sphere with 13 organisations now having utilised 41 different services within Aktive Shared Services and Procurement’s offering, enabling almost $1 million to date of realisable savings to their operational costs – money able to be reinvested into sport at the grassroots. That success has been achieved through reduced duplication, improved economies of scale and increased buying power, and Aktive has set the target of taking $1m per annum in costs out of the sector by 2017, again freeing up that money for greater impact through investment in community projects. Discussions are underway with a further 29 entities (including national and regional sporting organisations) to take advantage of Aktive Shared Service and Procurement in the 2016/17 financial year. “Bowls New Zealand have contracted the Aktive financial team to look after all our financial services since January 2016. We have established an excellent working relationship and have found the staff we are working with to be professional and accommodating of our requirements. They have become a valuable part of our team. We would recommend this service to any NSO or RSO as very good value for money” - Kerry Clark OBE, Bowls NZ, Chief Executive. 560 development opportunities impacted 3523 coaches and indirectly more than 30,000 sport participants
Aktive Annual Report 2015/2016 27 Coaching & Talent Development (C&TD) The Aktive group has made significant progress in Auckland over the past year building a systematic approach to coaching and athlete development. We are delighted to report that a programme of 560 development opportunities impacted 3523 coaches and that indirectly, more than 30,000 sport participants experienced a more positive sporting environment as a result. The C&TD advisory group continues to meet quarterly to provide strategic guidance and independent quality assurance over Aktive’s work. A C&TD framework is now completed that delivers initiatives focused on growing capability across all three Sport NZ community coaching communities (foundation, development, performance). Highlights include: Student Leadership Day In partnership with iSPORT Foundation, Aktive facilitated a historic secondary school leadership event bringing together close to 650 participants, including students and principals, from 60 Auckland schools. The event attracted an online audience of more than 8000 people. TLC (Talent, Leadership, Character) messages featured strongly throughout the day showcasing the power of this signature Aktive programme. Aktive was responsible for aligning key messages across the numerous speakers which included Richie McCaw and Dr Ralph Pim, MCs and facilitators with 35 volunteer regional facilitators, who lead student sessions on the day. We acknowledge the collaborative effort of the following organisations who all played a role in supporting the successful delivery of the event including, iSPORT, Sir Peter Blake Trust, He Oranga Poutama, Find Your Field of Dreams, Westpac, Harbour Sport, Sport Waitakere, Counties Manukau Sport, Sport Auckland and Wero. Aktive Talent, Leadership & Character (TLC) TLC is a framework that uses sport to develop strong, resilient leaders of character that excel in sport, school and life. TLC supports teachers, coaches, students and whānau to learn about the power of teamwork and the importance of moral and performance character. In the 2015/16 period, this pilot project was extended to eight schools to include Mt Albert Grammar and Auckland Grammar School. A variety of delivery channels have been utilised including full school assemblies, senior management presentations, teacher, coach, parent education and student workshops. The response to TLC has been overwhelmingly positive. The development of leadership skills and good character attributes has led to improved performances on the sports ground as well as within the classroom. Many parents have also commented on positive changes taking place in the home environment. Due to the success of the two-year pilot programme Aktive currently has received requests from ten new schools wishing to participate in the TLC programme. In the past year TLC has impacted 14,556 students, 8 Principals, 150 sports coaches, 200 teachers & senior staff. Coach Evolve In response to an identified need Aktive – in collaboration with local RSTs and AUT – developed a new pilot community coaching programme called Coach Evolve. It is designed to make a significant change in coaching practices by ensuring athletes and participants experience a positive and enjoyable environment and establish a lifelong passion for sport. Aktive and local RST staff consulted with Regional Sports Organisations to identify potential coaches for the inaugural intake; 54 coaches were selected for the initial pilot year, representing 14 different sports. Performance Coach Advance (PCA) Performance Coach Advance is a national Sport NZ programme aiming to advance the innovation, creativity and performance of outstanding coaches in the performance coaching community. In Auckland, a strong feature of this programme is the cross-sport interaction and collaboration that allows coaches to discuss experiences, challenges and lessons in a safe and supportive environment. Coaches recieve individualised professional development, including access to coaching mentors and experts from various performance environments. 72 coaches have been a part of PCA since its inception in 2014, with 19 national sports represented. Pathway to Podium (P2P) Pathway to Podium (P2P) is a nationwide Sport NZ athlete development programme that grows capability in emerging athletes who are identified as potential future winners on the world stage. The goal of Pathway to Podium is to accelerate the learning of athletes to ensure they are better prepared for the demands of high performance sport. Auckland is the largest P2P hub in the country. Highlights include: • 89 athletes benefited from Aktive’s P2P support programme • Since inception, 29 athletes have transitioned from the Auckland P2P programme into High Performance Sport NZ’s carded athlete system • Inaugural partner recognition evening • New intake of athletes extended the programme’s support to 96 athletes and their coaches and parents • Three Auckland P2P graduates selected for Rio Olympics and Paralympics: Helena Gasson (swimming), Byron Raubenheimer (para cycling) and Tupou Neiufi (para swimming).
