Visual
Wide shot starting low and panning upwards, inside the glass atrium of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) offices. Next, there’s a close up shot outside the MBIE office of the large stone MBIE sign. A man (Neville Johnson) walks towards the office building with a folder under his arm. He goes up the steps and into the building. There are other people walking around on the street, outside the building. The next shot is a close up of Neville, sitting at a table in a meeting room with two pot plants behind him. The words “Neville Johnson, Director Enabling Services, NZ Government Procurement and Property” appear at the bottom of the screen.
Audio
Neville: I'm Neville Johnson, I work in the Government Procurement and Property branch. I work as a Director focussed on enabling services and systems, and ways of doing things for the branch to make them more effective in what they do.

Neville is walking towards the lifts inside the MBIE building. The reception desk is visible with the announcement board above it in the background. The next shot is Neville sitting at his desk inside the office. He is looking at his computer, using the mouse. There are three other office workers in the background. The camera then zooms in very close to Neville’s face. The next shot shows him back in the same meeting room as before. The shot then jumps back to him at his desk and a close up of him typing and using his mouse, before it shows Neville looking at the computer screen again, where he is looking at a webpage about ‘Writing a procurement plan’.
Audio
Neville: We're quite inefficient sometimes with how we go about things, and we have very manual ways of doing things. And I think that adds this unnecessary administrative burden for Government particularly with the way that we procure things, and a key part of procurement is understanding how we can make those processes much more efficient, how we can take cost out of the equation for us, but also cost out of the equation for suppliers and the different organisations.
Visual
Neville is walking through the kitchen on one of the office floors, towards a meeting area with a number of large sofa-type seats. A woman enters. Neville and the woman smile at each other and then shake hands. The shot then changes to Neville sitting in the office with the table and two pot plants again. Next, there’s a shot of Neville and the woman sitting at a table in the kitchen meeting area looking at a laptop, engaged in a discussion. There’s a close up of the woman and then a close up of Neville, before the shot switches back to Neville alone in the meeting room again.
Audio
Neville: The NZBN is the first major step in the digitisation journey for New Zealand. There's this key opportunity that presents itself to us and that is around more efficient international trade, and it provides us an opportunity to have that much more effective, simple, easy trade with those different nations, so our major trading partners, but also those other nations that we want to increase our level of trade with.
Visual
The shot is a close up of Neville’s hands, using the mouse touch pad on his laptop. The camera pans to a close up of the NZBN webpage on Neville’s laptop screen. The shot then switches back to a close up of him talking to the woman again, cutting back to Neville sitting in the meeting room with the pot plants. Neville is then filmed standing outside on a balcony, looking over at the Beehive with other buildings and trees in the background. The last scene is Neville sitting back in the meeting room with the pot plants.
Audio
Neville: The automation of procurement provides the opportunity for professionals to actually focus on the key things around procurement which is the relationship with the supplier, focussing on moving towards a more innovative, creative relationship where we can drive better outcomes, better products, better services. And the NZBN is helping that to happen.
