Who Is Innes Strategy?

The founder of Innes Strategy, Greg Innes (pronounced 'in'-'ess'), established the consultancy in 1988, after having a high profile in Local Government, he went on to play an active part of the New Zealand Public Sector Reform. 

It has been evident during and since the public sector reform period that organizational culture was one of the key drivers to achieving a more effective and sustainable organization.  David Osborne (Price of Government, 2004) refers to New Zealand's public sector transformation as "the most radical transformation of a modern democratic government ever undertaken".
