Case Study: Auckland District Health Board achieves unified strategic visibility and improved execution with StrategyBlocks

Auckland District Health Board - Customer Case Study

Auckland District Health Board, a large public health provider serving over 530,000 people with an annual budget of roughly $2.1 billion, faced difficulty tracking and comparing a wide mix of strategic initiatives—from capital works to softer patient-experience programs—against its seven strategic themes. To gain a single, coherent view of outcomes and make softer deliverables measurable for executives and the Board, Auckland DHB selected the StrategyBlocks SaaS platform to model its strategy and consolidate initiative reporting.

StrategyBlocks implemented a visual, tree-structured strategic model with real-time updates, cascading metrics and a Strategic Health view that links effort, outcome and risk; the platform now supports over 50 users across EPMO, program managers and executives. Within the first year Auckland DHB reported significant maturation of its strategic processes: gaps and duplication were surfaced, leadership engagement shifted from operational detail to strategic guidance, and stakeholders can now quickly see progress at a glance and drill down into areas of greatest success or challenge—all delivered with tailored support from StrategyBlocks.
