Kāhui Ako Change Management
Since 2017 Leadership Lab has been engaged by the Ministry of Education to assist Community of Learning | Kāhui Ako with change management support. A Community of Learning | Kāhui Ako is a group of education and training providers which forms around learning pathways, and works together to help children and young people achieve their full potential. We are currently engaged with over 50 Kāhui Ako from the Auckland, Waikato, Rotorua, Opotoki, Palmerston North, Wellington, Nelson, Otago, Southland and Christchurch areas.
Our team supports the lead principals and other leaders in a Kāhui Ako in the the following areas;
- organisational culture (relational trust, clear agreed vision and purpose, change readiness/positive mindsets and collective leadership)
- systems (agreed roles and expectations for all partners, effective communication, operating protocols and decision making processes, clear strategy and action plan)
This Leadership Lab Change Managment Overview gives a brief overview of our approach and the Kāhui Ako Foundations – A change management planning tool is a framework that we have developed with MOE and other providers and is used by Kāhui Ako as a self audit tool.
This article “Change managers: a collaborative approach to a collaborative initiative“ co-written by one of team Gabrielle Wall was recently published in the NZ Education Gazette.
"Gabrielle allowed us to focus on the key ideas, and not to become distracted. It was quite remarkable the way she was able to cut through the chatter and get to the key issues and points."
Kāhui Ako Lead Principal
"It was critical in helping us regroup and come together in a new way, on a new project that we are codesigning together. Having someone external, with expertise within and outside of education raised the stakes for engagement and the participants in the mahi have been really inspired and empowered to take our next steps. Chris has encouraged us to think big, and widen the perspectives in our engagement process. The tools he shared through the planning phase have been extremely useful and not something I would have come across on my own."
