HTK Group's Senior Advisor, Neala Rosandich, played a pivotal role in reshaping food industry practices through her work with the Food and Fibre Centre of Vocational Excellence. Her detailed recommendations put Māori data sovereignty and cultural frameworks at the heart of industry transformation. Key Findings include: Embedding Māori Data Sovereignty: Emphasising the importance of ensuring that Māori retain control over their data. This is not just about respect for cultural integrity but creating a foundation for long-term, sustainable industry practices. Holistic, Culturally Aligned Practices: By prioritizing Māori values such as kaitiakitanga (guardianship of the land), the food industry can implement more sustainable and ethical practices. Contributing to a stronger, more resilient food sector. Impact on Education and Workforce Development: The significant importance for educational pathways that reflect these values, ensuring future food industry leaders are culturally competent and innovation driven. “It’s been a privilege to work in this space for Food and Fibre Centre of Vocational Excellence. It showcases how collaboration and the undervalued art of listening is crucial when working on a project with such impact in the Food Industry." – Neala Rosandich HTK Group are proud to help industries move towards a future that values not only indigenous knowledge but also helps ensure economic and cultural resilience. #HTKGroup #MāoriDataSovereignty #FoodAndFibre #Sustainability #CulturalIntegrity #IndigenousKnowledge Artwork: “Te Manu Kai I Te Miro Nōna Te Ao” by Toi and Design Limited.

We're honoured to have led this piece of work which strikes an intricate balance of technology and tradition in helping design the new Māori Data Lens, now featured in the AWS Well-Architected Framework. In today’s information economy, robust data governance and management are vital, especially for data sovereignty. This tool is crucial for ensuring that data practices respect and integrate Māori values and perspectives. This initiative represents a significant piece of work we led for global company Amazon Web Services (AWS). Special shout out to our partners and specialist advisors who helped pull this together, Atawhai Tibble, Ngapera Riley, Lee Timutimu, Wade Reweti, Nikora Ngaropo and our very own Renata Hakiwai and Eli Pohio. Thank you for your invaluable contributions! Also thanking Paul Keating, Judith Dixon (nee Hanna) and Craig Hind from AWS for making this work happen.

The new Social Investment Agency has been directed to come up with standards for government departments to know if their investments in social services are working. They should come and meet us! We are owned by Māori, for Māori, with Māori, and as the Whānau Ora Commissioning Agency for the South Island, we’ve been investing directly in initiatives developed by whānau or community groups throughout Te Waipounamu for almost 10 years now. And we know our approach works. In the latest evaluation, Dr Catherine Leonard, Director at Ihi Research, described Wave investment as “turning the dial for whānau” and said the results indicated sustained positive change in the lives of whānau in Te Waipounamu. “It emphasises, too, the need to value outcomes that are valued by Māori – the right of whānau to strive and thrive on their terms based on their own notions of wellbeing and success.” Other key takeaways: *The returns from Wave 16 investment have seen whānau shift from state dependency and subsistence living towards independence and wealth creation. *Whānau who participated in Wave 16 initiatives also reported higher life satisfaction than the general Māori population. *The study found that across the 83 funded initiatives, almost 5,000 Māori were positively impacted, with a net present value of up to $87,433 per person. This reflects how much extra income they would have to receive to get the same increase in life satisfaction.
