Stephen Neal is working on a project with Surf Life Saving New Zealand (SLSNZ) to create a more collaborative organisation. SLSNZ has recently restructured itself to remove much of the regional fragmentation that currently exists.
 
The next phase of the transformation is to refresh key collaborative organisational processes and behaviours.
 
SLSNZ are seeking to create a more effective and efficient organisation that is able to work as one team, rather than a number of isolated units, leveraging its strengths to make a bigger difference to all.
