Skill Builder

The Skill Builder is a self-assessment tool that helps you improve your effectiveness as a manager. Management skills are defined in ten competency areas. For each area you can:

• build a profile of skills relating to your particular job
• create a personal development plan of tasks to improve your skills
• develop action plans to complete and evaluate the tasks you have set

Management Improvement Tool for Entrepreneurs (MITE)

As an entrepreneur you seldom have any other management help and you need to decide where to direct your own personal energy. The questions in MITE will stimulate you to create a personal development plan by asking you to reflect on the eight areas that are important for business success.

Business Practices Tool

The Ministry of Economic Development (MED) has worked closely with Statistics New Zealand to create a comprehensive profile of the business practices of New Zealand companies and to identify what practices cause firms to be successful. MED will soon be providing a Business Practices tool that will enable you to rate your business on these practices and to print off a comparison against that data.  Coming Soon.
