How to deliver high-quality advice and analysis that position organisations well in the ever-changing political and economic environment.

Congratulations to Wairoa District Council for winning the FrankGroup Excellence in Community Engagement Award.

The complexity of policy development has given us real appreciation for how systems thinking can shift perspective from isolated problems to understanding the whole picture.

Budget 2025 presents a complex picture for New Zealand's future with $6.8b in new spending balanced against social service reductions. Explore the government's priorities and what this means for public servants and NGOs working across traditional boundaries to deliver meaningful impact in an evolving social investment landscape.

As part of Budget 2025 announcements tomorrow, New Zealand's government will unveil its plan to transform social service delivery through the new $190 million Social Investment Fund. Social Investment Minister Nicola Willis and Chief Executive Andy Coster have outlined a vision moving away from fragmented contracts and compliance-heavy funding models toward an approach that is data-driven, outcomes-focused, integrated, and locally driven.

Why we should approach learning and development like an elite sports training programme.

Understand why attending our Introduction to Social Investment course is a timely opportunity to grow your understanding of practical social investment frameworks.

As Budget 2025 looms, the message is clear: do more with less. With tighter fiscal settings, both public and community sectors are under renewed pressure to align with government priorities and deliver tangible impact. From reprioritising investments to embracing smarter, data-driven decisions, success now hinges on clarity, evidence, and cross-sector collaboration. At FrankGroup, we help turn complexity into action—so you can keep delivering what matters most for Aotearoa.
