Future focus for rautitikura roadshows

Rautaki 2033, PKW’s refreshed strategic vision for the future of the organisation, hit the huarahi to connect with Te Rau Titikura across the motu.

The five roadshows, in New Plymouth, Auckland, Hāwera, Wellington and Nelson, were an opportunity for owners to learn more about the drive to build a more balanced Papatupu (portfolio) to build greater resilience in a rapidly changing world.

“I value being able to kōrero kanohi ki te kanohi with our Rau Titikura so I get their perspective on what we are doing to deliver value for them” says Aisha Ross, PKW Te Rau Matomato. “The roadshows were well-attended and whānau were very positive about the strategic refresh and provided some really valuable feedback.”

The new Rautaki He Papa, He Tupu, He Ora – Legacy, Growth, Prosperity – Binds together Place, People, Partnership and Performance as central drivers. Papatupu, brings together the portfolio of actively and passively managed whenua, resources, and investments within the organisation.

“The strategy enables us to explore opportunities extending into food and fibre, property, and renewable energy by bringing together the potential of whenua, people, and partnerships,” says Aisha. “That potential is key to new pathways for the future and building on our foundations for our Rau Titikura today and tomorrow.”

“What was particularly notable about the roadshows was the number of younger whānau members who attended to find out more about our kaupapa and our future aspirations,” remarks Aisha. “Rautaki 2033 is a continuation of our journey and being able to kōrero about our kaupapa and connect them with the vision and mahi we do is awesome.”

“I am very keen to continue this style of hui, so we can kōrero directly with our Rau Titikura on a frequent basis. Hearing their aspirations for the future and seeing the passion people have for our kaupapa was a valuable and humbling experience.”
