In a special Learning to Fly episode we welcome Chris Maika, CEO of Māori eLearning and capability consultancy, Ruku ki te ako.
As a follow on from our most recent Inspire Connect events, Chris shares insights into embedding Te Ao Māori in organisations, emphasizing the importance of leadership engagement, understanding the organisation's why, and implementing a strategic direction. He highlights the need for a sustainable, long-term approach that involves both top-down and ground-up efforts.
The discussion also touches on the significance of Te Tiriti ō Waitangi, and the importance of meaningful embedding to avoid tokenism. Chris addresses concerns about disengagement, urging organisations to create a supportive environment where individuals feel safe to make mistakes and learn.
