Adapting to Change Workshops – Practical Pakihi Workshops for Māori Business

Poutama has partnered with Whāriki Te Tai Tokerau to delivery these adapting to change workshops as part of the Regional Business Partner Network programme.

The business environment is shifting fast. Rising costs, changing customer behaviour, funding pressure, digital disruption, and economic uncertainty are forcing many pakihi to rethink how they operate, grow, and stay sustainable.

Whāriki exists to support Māori businesses with practical tools, real conversations, and implementation focused support designed for where our people are actually at right now.

These workshops are built specifically for Māori business owners, operators, whānau businesses, side hustles, and growing pakihi who want practical strategies they can apply immediately, not just theory.

Together, we’ll explore how to strengthen your business foundations, identify opportunities, respond to change with confidence, and adapt in ways that still align with your values, capacity, and long term vision.

This is a Māori led space grounded in whakaaro Māori, real world business experience, and collective learning.
