Practice Foundations is a monthly public sector community of practice hosted online by The Auckland Co-Design Lab and Healthy Families Far North.
Practice Foundations focuses on the opportunities and challenges that exist across the public sector. In our sessions we explore topics, tools and resources that public sector practitioners have told us are the most useful in building practice and tooling them up for implementing complex and ambitious work.

Hautū Waka
In this session we revisit Hautū Waka, under the expert guidance of Roimata Taniwha-Paoo (Waikato - Maniapoto ki Pirongia).
This session focuses on Te Whiwhinga, a phase within Hautū Waka. In this phase, tohu (signs/signals) are clear and the course has been set to move towards the collective vision. We can see a way forward and are confident in our direction. We know the work that needs to be done.
Roimata supports us to tune in to 2025 and provides us with some practices that can be used in Te Whiwhinga to help us to navigate the coming year.
