Creating a strategy can feel overwhelming, especially when everyone’s deep in the mahi. AraHina makes the strategic planning process easier, helping you unite your team, find clarity, and stay focused on the journey ahead
No Shared
Vision
Your team is passionate,
but everyone’s heading in
different directions
Values Not
Guiding Decisions
You have a strong kaupapa, but it’s not shaping day-to-day decisions across your organisation
No Action
Plan
You know where you want to go, but there’s no clear strategic plan to get there
No Way to
Measure Progress
You’re moving, but it’s hard to tell what’s working or how far you’ve come against your goals
Strategy Isn’t
Being Used
You have a strategy,
but it’s sitting on the
shelf instead of driving action
No Team Alignment
People are working hard,
but not always toward
the same goals
Need a bit more clarity?

How to book your workshop
1.1 Booking
Once you’ve explored our services, checked our availability, and completed our form, we’ll meet online to see if we’re the right fit for your kaupapa

We’ll then send a comprehensive proposal for your consideration, which you can simply sign through our easy online system
1.3 Non-refundable deposit
Once approved, we’ll send an invoice for a 50% non-refundable deposit, due within 7 days. This confirms your strategic planning workshop date and gets the preparation underway

After your booking is confirmed, you’ll receive an email outlining the next steps listed below
Step Two:
Prepare for Your Workshop
What to do once your booking is confirmed
2.1 Book venue and catering
Your role is to secure the venue, arrange catering, and send a calendar invite to all participants. Please see our venue requirements when booking a suitable space (in a Marae setting we will work together to make the best use of the space)
*PLEASE NOTE: We will need access to the venue at least one hour before the strategic planning workshop begins (or the afternoon beforehand) to set up
2.2 Pre-workshop survey
We’ll send an introductory email to all participants along with a short confidential survey giving everyone the opportunity to contribute to the design of the strategic planning workshop
2.3 Workshop design
With your feedback and any previous strategy documents, we’ll shape an agenda that’s tailored to your group’s needs
2.4 Pre-workshop meeting
We’ll meet before the workshop to go through a summary of the survey responses, the workshop design, and any finer details

Stories from our whanau
Below is some of the feedback we've collected from our whānau who have attended our workshops or worked with us.
"You have a real strength working in both corporate and whānau, hāpori spaces, seamlessly bridging these different worlds."
Your utilisation of reflection and preparation was evident. You clearly took time to learn about our organisation and our kaupapa. You were constantly present with us and took us on that journey."
"Your facilitation was fun, interactive, while still helping us to fulfill our objectives for that wānanga. I was really impressed with how efficiently our time was spent and how much we were able to achieve! You are great at guiding a rōpū and holding the mauri."
