Facilitation & Implementation Support
Ongoing facilitation and implementation support to embed strategy into everyday practice
AraHina’s Facilitation & Implementation Support is designed for organisations that want to move beyond planning and ensure their strategy is lived, not shelved.
We work alongside organisations, leadership teams, and boards to support the implementation of strategic and action plans, strengthen ways of working, and embed shared direction into day-to-day decision-making.
This service provides flexible, ongoing facilitation support that helps teams maintain momentum, navigate complexity, and adapt as priorities evolve.
Supporting strategy beyond the workshop
Strategic planning and action planning are important milestones, but meaningful change happens in what follows.
Our facilitation and implementation support helps organisations:
Stay aligned as work progresses
Address challenges as they arise
Keep strategy visible and relevant over time
We provide the structure, reflection, and facilitation needed to support consistent progress without taking ownership away from your people.
What is Facilitation & Implementation Support?
This service offers ongoing or staged facilitation to support organisations as they implement strategy in real-world conditions.
Support may be short-term or longer-term, depending on your needs, and can include:
Facilitated leadership or team workshops
Strategy check-ins and reviews
Support for governance and operational alignment
Implementation-focused business or leadership workshops
Our role is to hold space for clarity, accountability, and collective problem-solving as your organisation moves forward.
Our Facilitation Approach
Grounded in te ao Māori and collective leadership
AraHina is a Māori-led facilitation consultancy grounded in te ao Māori and Indigenous-informed practice.
Our approach recognises that implementation is relational. Change happens through people, trust, and shared understanding, not just plans and timelines.
We create culturally grounded, inclusive spaces that support honest conversations, collective ownership, and sustainable progress.
Blending facilitation expertise with strategic insight
Our facilitators bring deep experience across:
Strategic planning and implementation
Organisational strategy and systems
Leadership and governance
Community, public sector, and business contexts
We combine facilitation expertise with practical strategic and implementation tools, ensuring conversations lead to action and decisions are supported by clear next steps.
