Research informing practice
We acknowledge that empowering our tribal members to best meet
the needs of a 21st century environment will require us to be future
focussed and innovative. Waikato-Tainui will scope the local, national
and international landscapes regularly in order to remain relevant and
understand the rapidly changing nature of the political, economic, social,
technological, global and mega-trend settings. This will ensure that our
programmes of work and initiatives best meet the needs of our tribal
members, presently and in the future.
Innovation
Waikato-Tainui will explore and develop innovative ideas that support
increased connectivity and improved learning opportunities for all tribal
members, across the span of their life. The use of digital technologies
and applications will allow every tribal member to access e-resources
to support them at any stage of their journey as a life-long learner,
whether they are a primary student moving onto secondary education
or a grandparent ready for a change in career pathway. In essence, our
programmes, initiatives and technologies will be designed to support our
tribal members as they transition from peepi to pakeke to kaumaatua.
The priorities have been mapped until 2050 with milestones to be achieved every 10 years.
This will guide planning and also provide a measurement of accountability.
Accountability
WAIKATO-TAINUI WILL REPORT ACCOUNTABILITY FOR EACH OF OUR PRIORITIES.
WE WILL MEASURE THE OUTCOME OF EACH PROGRAMME OF WORK AGAINST:
HOW MUCH DID WE DO?
|
HOW WELL DID WE DO IT?
|
IS ANYONE BETTER OFF?
