Context

Government agencies and organisations around the motu are committed to honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi, delivering radical system change and accepting previous ways of working are no longer relevant. Commitment to this change has meant establishing new authorities, new ways of working and new essential wellbeing services (many with a particular focus on redressing inequities that have impacted Tangata Whenua and ensuring their voices are heard).

Like nature, growth will come from creating something new in the midst of the old.

Challenge

The biggest contributor to success and failure of any system change is the people, and their need for inclusion, acknowledgement and contribution, plus clarity and consistency of communication.

To ensure all voices are heard there must be a process and a system in place to cultivate generative conversations that will keep growing and nourish new relationships and possibilities.

What pou are in place that are robust enough to provide a regenerative foundation over time?

Nature provides us with healing and regenerative powers. Four words, four phrases, metaphors that come from nature and connect to our common humanity provide a common language and framework which acknowledges and enhances the mana of all.

This enables generative conversations we need to happen in a safe and productive way, and beautifully reflects a Te Āo Māori lens.

• Whenua |Earth: like a mountain is firm.
• Haa |Air:  like the wind is clear.
• Wai |Water: like a lake is calm.
• Ahi |Fire: like the sun is bright.

What is the benefit of choosing a common language to act as a foundation for all our success and futures? What is the cost of not choosing?
