This kōnae ako aims to allow tauira to explore their tūrangawaewae as a foundation from which their governance practice can be shaped. This aim emphasises not only the application of Māori principles within governance but also the recognition and integration of personal identity and lived experiences, contributing to a holistic approach to governance through the lens of te ao Māori.

You’ll apply cultural practices of kaitiakitanga within Western governance structures of governance. You’ll explore essential governance concepts over assets such as finance, policy, investment, decision making, roles and responsibilities in conjunction with Māori practices of kaitiakitanga to taonga tuku iho.

The aim of this kōnae ako is to facilitate tauira through a transformative journey, moving their governance perspective from ‘ahau’ (individual) to ‘tātou’ (collective) in accordance with collective governance principles and te ao Māori approach to the management of resources as Taonga Tuku Iho.

The aim of this kōnae ako is to enhance the leadership skills, succession and strategic planning for Māori entities and governors.
