Cultural capability building

Building cultural capability is essential for professionals working in the natural and built environments.

With nearly a decade of experience delivering high-impact training, including Planning for Māori Values on behalf of the New Zealand Planning Institute, this service equips participants with the skills and confidence to engage meaningfully with iwi, hapū, and whānau.

These courses are designed to enhance cultural competence as a practical foundation for working effectively within te ao Māori contexts. They support professionals in planning, policy, engineering, and conservation to integrate Māori perspectives into their work, leading to stronger relationships, better decision-making, and more enduring outcomes.

With a proven track record and extensive experience, this training has helped build capability across sectors, strengthening partnerships and ensuring projects reflect the values and aspirations of the communities they serve.
