Ake ki te Ora model April 2003 ( See also the
written
report on this event)
We suggest you have a copy of the model document
in front of you when you watch this. Please note
that this does not include the elements of poisons
( that stop the germination of anything new) and
Sunlight (energy from outside) or the concept of
teams with their noses pointing outwards ( sensing,
and forming alliances and partnerships) that are
described in their stories above but only more recently
formally added to Tipu Ake)
(d) Understanding
ORA - The ever expanding state that inspires growth
in Tipu Ake ki te Ora. (8 mins 13Mb)
Having a bold vision for the future that all can
believe in is a critical aspect of Tipu Ake ki te
Ora. . The rich Maori concept of Ora goes far beyond
its simplistic translation of "Wellbeing"
as the following vision for the future from the Waitaha
people shows. This video illustrates this with graphic
video scenes from Te Whaiti Nui-a-Toi, Whaingaroa
(Raglan) and Hokianga.
.. When we raise our children with the wairua [the
spirit] to hear the plants grow and open their minds
to touch the stars; that is Waitaha.
.. When our gardens cover the nakedness of Papatuanuku
[the earth] with the peace of Rongo Marae Roa [God
of Peace] and the Kumura [our treasured sweet potato]
are abundant; that is Waitaha.
.. When the waters are shaped to nurture fish, and
birds are plentiful; that is Waitaha.
.. When Arai Te Uru [our sharing / trading canoe]
sails again and again with Kumura for the Nation;
that is Waitaha.

Applying Tipu Ake Tools in Organisations: (25
mins - 42 Mb)
1: Organisational Benefits: describing the benefits
of its application to support projects, governance
and cross organisational teamwork. (3 mins)
2. Examples of using the Tipu Ake Organisational
self assessment tool to generate discussion that helps
recognise and control potentially team destroying
pest behaviours and instead encourages those that
help grow effective, innovative and living organisations.
(7 mins)
This self assessment is done using collective sensing
- a process where the group captures information from
outside itself and processes it collectively to ensure
that any decision outcome is not distorted by personal
baggage and opinions. The video conveys methods and
tips for doing this.
Informally captured with Darl Kolb's Masters class
" The Change Agent" at The
University of Auckland, and with the Whaingaroa
Environment Group ( voluntary community organisation)
