GoEco Scope assessment

Tātaia Kia Tika — your mahi and your cultural support

Kia Tika is the organisational and team side of Tātaia. Before we make recommendations for your rōpū, we need to hear from you: what your job actually is, what an average day looks like, and what Māori cultural support would genuinely help you do it.

About 5–10 minutes. You can type or record your answers. Due Friday next week.

Before you start
  • Responses go to Winiata Hunia (win.hunia@gmai.com), the cultural advisor for Tātaia. They are used to shape team and organisational recommendations.
  • This is not a performance assessment. There is no right answer and nothing here goes into a performance conversation.
  • Every question is voluntary. Skip anything you would rather not answer, and answer in te reo Māori or English, whichever you prefer.
  • Māori kaimahi who also lead or sit in a rōpū are welcome to answer twice — once for your team, once as Māori kaimahi — or tick the box in question 3 to add the Māori kaimahi questions to this response.
1 Who are you?
2 Which rōpū or programme do you work in?

Select all that apply.

3 Which set of questions should we show you?

Everyone answers the same core questions. This adds a few questions specific to your part of the mahi.

Your mahi
4 In your own words, what is your job?
5 What does an average day look like for you?
6 Where does your mahi bring you into contact with Māori communities or kaupapa Māori?

Select all that apply.

Your practice now
7 Which cultural practices do you already use in your role?

Select all that apply.

8 How does doing those feel at the moment?
9 Where do you feel uncertain, or worried about getting it wrong?

Select all that apply. Honest answers here are the most useful part of this form.

10 What could you lead, support or want guidance on?

Put each practice wherever it honestly sits. Leave blank anything that is not part of your role.

I could lead this
I could support someone else
I would want guidance before doing this
What you need
11 What Māori cultural support do you need?

Think about three things: doing your role, growing your own practice, and serving the communities you work with.

12 What form of support would actually work for you?

Select all that apply.

13 How much time can you realistically give to this?
For team leads — Pou rōpū
14 Where does your team meet the public, Māori communities or mana whenua?
15 What does your team produce that carries kupu Māori, names or whakataukī?

Select all that apply.

16 What can your team commit, and what boundaries need holding?
For the comms team
C1 Which channels do you use kupu Māori in now?

Select all that apply.

C2 What level of bilingual communication does GoEco expect of you?
C3 How are whakataukī and names handled now — and who approves them?
C4 Which website pages or materials concern you most?
For Māori kaimahi
These questions are about you, not about teaching anyone else. Answer only what you want to share. Participation in any kaimahi Māori kaupapa stays voluntary and inside paid work time.
M1 What are you asked to carry that sits outside your actual role?

Select all that apply.

M2 What do you need to grow your own practice?

Select all that apply.

M3 What would a Māori kaimahi space look like, and what boundaries must GoEco hold?
Last Anything else — say it however you like

When you submit, your answers and any recordings go to Winiata Hunia. Nothing is shared with your manager as an individual response. Two short availability questions come next.

Last two questions — your availability
A1 Tātaia Kia Mau — which days and times suit you for the 45-minute weekly session?

Select every day and every start time that could work — the more you tick, the easier it is to land a slot for the whole rōpū.

Start times that work

A2 Tātaia Kia Tika — which dates and times suit you for a 20-minute catch-up with Win?

Tick every date and start time that could work for you between 14 and 25 September.
