Kia ora ra• What is Maori governance?

– Is it the same as Western governance?– If not, how does it differ from Maori governance?

• What is kaitiakitanga?– Is it the same as the western view of sustainability?– If not, how does it differ from our Maori definition of kaitiakitanga?

• Our own Kaitiakitanga case study at Omaio– Where we started– Where we are today– Where we aim to be in 5 years time (leadership)

Page 3: Sustainability (kaitiakitanga) and Maori Governance and Leadership

What is governance?• Governance means thinking about strategic issues, rather than the operational day-to-day running of the

business. Governance applies to all companies, big and small.

What about Maori organizations like our Trusts, Runanga?

What governance really means?• When people talk about company governance, they’re talking about the role of the board of directors.

Boards exist to ensure a company is well run, and well governed so that shareholder value can be maximised and no ‘funny business’ goes on.

• Governance is about (I added this in – it’s about LEADERSHIP)– ensuring there is accountability and oversight of a company’s operations– having a defined vision for the future of the company– making good decisions with a clear view of the big picture– identifying opportunities– identifying risks and implementing strategies to manage them.– Governance encourages boards to step back from the operational side of the business and ensure all bases are

covered in order to lay the foundations for a smooth future.

I want to start to weave in now the discussion about Kaitiakitanga (Sustainability)

Contrasting Maori/Western (Sustainability) Values Frameworks

Western Values Framework Maori Values Framework

Economic Strong over-riding driver of decisions (NPV, IRR, Profitability Index, Payback period etc.)

Strong(NPV, IRR, Profitability Index, Payback period but may accept lower Return)

Profits Owned individually and often lost offshore

Owned communally (reinvested back into whanau, communities, regions and the Nation)

+ Social Very low (only what is prescribed in law)

Very strong(What is prescribed in law is bare minimum, whanau jobs, education, health and well-being)

++ Environment Very low(only what is prescribed in law)

Very strong(What is prescribed in law is bare minimum, preservation of Papatuanuki)

+++ Culture Nil Very strong(Preservation of Te Reo, culture, tikanga – our identity).

Planning horizon 1- 5 years Intergenerational (100 years plus)

Flagship Maori community-owned Renewable energy – a start-up project

Page 11: Sustainability (kaitiakitanga) and Maori Governance and Leadership

Guiding project principles and goalsGuiding principles:

• Project leadership comes from the community (not negotiable)• Never do anything that put’s our land at risk (mortgages)• Find and use the best New Zealand and international experts• All project intellectual property (IP) remains owned by the community

Project goals: • Cheap power for the whanau (family) through an energy company owned by the

community• Energy security and a new revenue stream for the community• New and real jobs• Model project management approaches• To pilot the project towards sharing across 1,300 New Zealand marae community

(estimated $NZ500 million annual electricity bill)• Is real by the end of 2014.

Our Original Project Plan

Connecting with First Nations of the world…

Page 14: Sustainability (kaitiakitanga) and Maori Governance and Leadership

T’Sou-ke First Nations Project (video)

Page 15: Sustainability (kaitiakitanga) and Maori Governance and Leadership

What do we learn from the T’Sou-ke? • That our own project is doable …• It took them 10 years to do solar (only) …• Must engage the best experts (in the world) …• The whanau must own and lead the kaupapa …• The project will become a springboard for other projects like:

– Their Wind turbine and Greenhouse projects; and – Our own Aquaculture project

• The project will lead to real and highly skilled jobs for our whanau

2013 ODYSSEY DESIGN CHALLENGE

- Goals and objectives- Visit to marae, community, lands and whanau- What did we learn from the engineering design challenge?

Winning Designs and Plans (video)

Page 19: Sustainability (kaitiakitanga) and Maori Governance and Leadership

So what did we learn from the 2013 Odyssey Design Challenge?

• Our community solution will likely be a hybrid solution (micro-hydro, solar, wind and biomass)

• We have accumulated a huge amount of technical data, information and established numerous new relationships

• There are lots of household low-hanging fruit opportunities for 2014

• The community owned energy generation will take 2 to 5 years and require specialist advice

• Project is growing with increased complexity
