Strategic purpose statement / This qualification is intended for those who have previous experience in Māori governance, and are seeking to extend their current knowledge and skills.
The purpose of this qualification is to provide people with the knowledge and skills to undertake Governance roles and responsibilities, which incorporate kaupapa Māori principles, philosophies, concepts, processes and practices for the benefit of current and future generation of whānau, hapū, iwi.
Graduates of this qualification will be able to use their advanced transferable skills and knowledge based on kotahitanga, whanaungatanga, kaitiakitanga, te pono me te tika and rangatiratanga to undertake leadership roles in Māori governance in a range of entities to advance the cultural, educational and economic aspirations of their whānau, hapū, iwi, hapori
Guiding principles / Kotahitanga
As the first kaupapa, it is important for graduates to have a clear understanding and knowledge of kotahitanga from a Māori world view and its relevance/importance in governance context. For example, strategic thinking and planning underpinned by the principle of kotahitanga enables a person to consider the implications for Māori and other key stakeholders in terms of: an historical, current and future perspective; the short-, medium- and long-term; the opportunities and impacts on Māori aspirations (economically, culturally, socially, environmentally and locally); and respective bodies of Māori knowledge, language, traditions and customs.
Recognising the increasing participation Māori in high-risk business ventures and investment activities, kotahitanga also reflects the need for an approach, which explicitly recognises those things most valued by Māori, while ensuring the standard requirements of governance are also met/exceeded.
Whanaungatanga
This kaupapa embraces those skills and strategies relating to communications and relationships, such as: identifying and prioritising stakeholders; tailoring effective relationship, engagement and communication strategies for different stakeholder groups; and identifying, and developing options and actions, which enhance relationship opportunities and/or reduce risks, both internally and externally.
At an advanced level a graduate is able to identiry and manage politically or commercially sensitive relationships and identify and manage high-risk and crisis situations
Kaitaikitanga
Kaitiakitanga refers to the skills and knowledge needed to protect and enhance taonga and other resources. For the purposes of this qualification the term taonga and other resources may include, but is not limited to: land; commercial properties; geothermal resources; forests; fisheries; and intellectual property rights.
Graduates are expected to demonstrate knowledge of how such taonga and resources can be protected, managed and enhanced, often in a sustainable way. This will include an understanding and knowledge of relevant statutory, legislative, commercial and financial obligations and requirements, as well as opportunity/risk identification, mitigation and management.
Te Pono me te Tika
This kaupapa relates to personal behaviours and actions, which are recognised expressions or demonstrations of the principle of rangatiratanga. While Māori leadership will look different in different contexts, some expressions may include, but is not limited to: Manage, mediate and settle disputes to up-hold kotahitanga; lead the entity forward in a way that enhances the mana of the people economically, culturally and socially; values manaakitanga; leads and successfully completes important large-scale projects; and knows and values the traditions and cultures of the people and wider community.
Rangatiratanga
This kaupapa refers to the knowledge and skills required to create, support and realise the strategic vision of an entity. It also entails a clear understanding of the: different governance roles and responsibilities (such as trustees, directors and members of management committees); the respective legislative and statutory requirements; different types of governance structures; and aspects that distinguish Māori governance from established notions of governance/governance practice.
