This space could be yours:
We invite others to apply to become a Tipu Ake deliverer
and build your programmes around it. A prerequisite
for this is that you attend a marae
retreat at Te Whaiti or equivalent to ensure that
your delivery will be made in the context of its origins
and will encapsulate the values of the place where it
belongs. You will need to gain and maintain the respect
of the kaitiaki who guard this knowledge.

Leadership, Organisational Development and Sustainability |
What is this about?
Our well-practiced industrial age organizational
structures and processes often no longer seem
to be serving us so well. Maybe today’s
organisations need to be more like live ecosystems
comprising many diverse living individuals and
groups that must collaborate and share limited
resources to simaltaneously manage threats and
grow opportunities for a well future amidst a
complex environment of apparent anarchy, chaos,
uncertainty, ambiguity and interconnectedness.
So what would happen then
if organisations, projects teams and individuals
were to look to nature (and in particular its
rainforests) for some lessons. Perhaps we would
discover other dimensions that would add balance
and a new reverence for life in the knowledge
economy where interdependence, competition, rapid
change, information and environmental overload
is a reality. Perhaps a different world view would
drive some powerful new self directed and outcome
seeking organisational behaviours.
This workshop
will introduce you to a very different New Zealand
leadership model called the Tipu Ake ki te Ora
lifecycle (growing from within ever upward towards
wellbeing). On it we will practice some of the
behaviours and tools it offers to help grow living
organisations. For an overview of Tipu Ake
see http://www.tipuake.org.nz/stories/program_management.pdf
Objectives of Workshop:
In keeping with our organic
theme, the program will be fluid and like nature
grow its own shape in each location depending
on the mix of people involved and the opportunities
for learning they contribute, but here is the
outline:
We want to attract a very
diverse group of 20-40 people of all ages from
Education, Government, Community, Business, Education,
Health, Sustainability, Academic, Indigenous groups
etc, who are willing to courageously explore together
outside their comfort zones. In the morning we
will use the behavioural side of the Tipu Ake
..... leadership model to try to quickly help
them meld themselves into powerful teams that
can exploit their diversity to grow and deploy
their collective wisdom. We will also introduce
a few simple team tools that can help groups gather
in and share information, then converge on collaborative
solutions. Later in the afternoon we will work
on the "... ki te Ora" part of Tipu
Ake, splitting into groups and working on real
examples that people suggest; forming a collective
vision for the future, identifying the outcomes
needed, how we would know when we were getting
near them, then working back from this to create
a roadmap of the multitude of project actions
and coalitions needed to help us all grow towards
it. From time to time we will stop to allow all
to reflect on and share our experience and learnings.
The facilitator:
Peter Goldsbury BE(Elec),
DMS, Dip in Teaching, PMP, is an experienced engineer,
project and business manager who now works as
an organizational development facilitator. In
2000 he returned with a group from the Auckland
University of Technology to his primary school
deep in the Whirinaki Rainforest in New Zealand
to discover that they had made a revolutionary
self-transformation. That started an active research
program involving a range of volunteers that resulted
in the documentation of the Tipu Ake Lifecycle.
The School and it’s Maori community (underemployed
since rainforest milling was stopped) shares this
in the public domain on the web at www.tipuake.org.nz
for the benefit of all the world’s future
grandchildrens. Acknowledgement is by koha –
a Maori form of reciprocal gifting in trust based
on the value received.
Interested:
If so, then perhaps your
koha may be to help a volunteer group bring this
Tipu Ake workshop to life in your location: The
arrangements are informal with no budget, so we
need enthusiasts with networks to coordinate invitations,
record registrations, organise venues etc. To
participate please contact the local person listed
above.
Peter Goldsbury will be in transit but will be
checking emails at pgoldsbury@stratex.co.nz
)
The outcome we seek from
this workshop is that the experience of working
together will inspire you to continue to meet,
share your experiences, learn and grow. There
is no registration fee, but a koha towards the
costs would be appreciated. |
