Maori Case Study

Case Study Leader:
Dr John Reid



The design of the sustainability assessment and learning tool for Māori in the collectively-owned asset sector (Raumanga Rōnaki Mahingakai), has been finalised and integrated into a survey tool (Fluid Surveys). It has been tested and will be shortly deployed using an ongoing testing and calibrating process, among different Māori organisations including Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, Ngāti Awa, the office of the Māori Trustee, and various Incorporations & Trusts. The survey consists of about 500 questions across 8 modules targeting key areas of organizational practice. Survey results will inform organizations of current practice in comparison to ‘best sustainable practice’. Various modes of reporting are generated including: values-based reporting, module, quadrupal bottom line (four sustainability pillars) and mauri (Life Sustaining Capacity). For more information, check the presentation below.
