Māori communication and engagement is not ‘one size fits all’ – its about tikanga, relationships, listening & longevity.
Authentic engagement with tangata whenua and iwi stakeholders is critical for all businesses and organisations in today’s economy, society and in local communities.
The ability to communicate effectively and authentically with Māori is essential whether your organisation is designing and implementing a new policy, consulting with Iwi in relation to a taiao (natural environment/resource) kaupapa or developing key messages for this important partner and audience. It’s also important to incorporate te ao Māori worldviews and tikanga into everyday workplace practices, regardless of the sector or organisation.
We support organisations to communicate and engage appropriately, authentically, and confidently with Māori stakeholders and as a Treaty partner. We help you to develop and build relationships, to support your mahi.
When it comes to Māori engagement, we work with appropriate tikanga and cultural partners to ensure we have the whakapapa and relevant expertise for the kaupapa and rohe involved. Having the appropriate mana and credibility is imperative to the success of Māori engagement.
We’re proud and privileged to be able to support organisations who are on this journey. Whether it’s supporting with te reo Māori translations, iwi engagement or helping you authentically incorporate te ao Māori into your workplace, we’re here to help.
