Poipoia supports businesses in transitioning to a Taiao-Centered Economy, where values are transformed into meaningful actions.

 Māori businesses inherently operate through multiple lenses—social, cultural, environmental, and economic—balancing these dimensions as part of their unique identity and contribution. However, as these businesses evolve and navigate the complexities of growth and modern commerce, how do we ensure that the principles of Te Ao Māori remain at the heart of every decision, action, and outcome? How do we ensure these principles are not just philosophical ideals but are actively operationalized within your business?

At Poipoia, we offer a suite of tools specifically designed to help you align your business practices with your Iwi Māori values and principles. Our approach is grounded in empowering you to measure and evaluate your operations against your unique cultural framework, enabling you to walk the talk as kaitiaki, prudent trustees, and uri of the land. By doing so, you not only honor your heritage but also strengthen your business as a force for collective wellbeing and sustainability.

We would be honored to partner with you to conduct tailored kaitiakitanga audits and develop transition strategies that will help you identify your current benchmarks and chart a path toward achieving your whānau and hapū aspirations. Together, we can ensure that your business embodies the principles of manaakitanga, whakapapa, and rangatiratanga, creating a legacy that is both culturally authentic and economically resilient. Let’s work together to uphold and operationalize the values that define us.
