The Strengthen & Adapt roadshow connected with 336 people across 21 locations and two online sessions. Workshops were held in the following locations: Northland, Auckland (Albany and Clevedon), Waikato (Taupō and Cambridge), Bay of Plenty (Tauranga), Hawkes Bay (Waipukurau and Havelock), Gisborne, Wellington (Otaki and Hutt Valley), Taranaki (New Plymouth and Hawera), Nelson, Marlborough, Canterbury, Southland (Gore and Dunedin), Greymouth.
The Workshops provided the opportunity for an independently facilitated conversation and were hosted by Michelle Hollands, Freshminds Consultancy Limited. We were deliberate in our decision to employ the services of an independent consultant to ensure that any unconscious bias by our internal team was removed, providing for the opportunity to hear the voices of our community and truly listen to their feedback.
All workshops followed the same format including establishment of personas, regional rankings, key themes (celebrations and
challenges) and ideas/concepts for the future. Click on the button below for the common celebrations and challenges that were voiced across the regions of NZ.
