Recommendation 24

We asked NISTA how it was going to ensure it has the necessary resources and capacity to deliver its scope. NISTA told us it is confident it can resource the six objectives through its staff of over 200, and also has access to the 18,000 project delivery professionals across government.46 The Treasury told us that including NISTA’s 200 staff is a substantial increase to the Treasury’s 2,000 staff, and that it envisages some efficiency in bringing organisations together. As a result, the Treasury said it was confident it had the resources needed for NISTA “to do a really great job.” 47
