Strategy

This vision accentuates our key values of self-determination, interdependence, inclusiveness and moreover a distinct Māori world view approach. Our vision statement focuses on the year 2020 which gives our Taitokerau Collective time to build cohesion, clarity and collaboration. Furthermore, it will precede the conclusion of many major leases upon Māori land holdings and will allow a fresh start for the collective to build scale and gain greater leverage in the regional and national economy.

Te Kaupapa – Mission

Titiro ki ngā taumata o te moana - Look to the horizons of the sea'

Maintain stable foundations
Have an orientation to the global world view
Focus on the future and be informed by the past
Collaborate to reach our destination
Concentrate on results (rather than processes)
Be innovative and enterprising

On 3 October 2014, at the Taitokerau Māori Forestry kaupapa wānanga, a taskforce was selected to lead the implementation of a strategic plan on behalf of the Collective. The taskforce will be available to help members across the full spectrum of sector issues.

In essence, they will enable the entire Collective to move as one and will provide greater certainty that Māori will be informed and geared to emerge as forest owners and managers by 2020, promoting:

Advocacy and policy;
Research and innovation;
Education and promotion;
Leadership platforms; and
Collaborative growth.

In this way, accelerated and sustained growth and productivity of the Māori economy will be achieved, which will increase Māori contributions to the region’s economy.
