Associate Professor Manuka Henare and

Honoured to have met Associate Professor Manuka Henare Staff Profile, University of Auckland, New Zealand, Associate Dean Māori & Pacific Development /Director Mira Szászy Research Centre. 

Professor Henare has an inspiring background (in international development NGOs/charities improving livelihoods, in environmental stewardship) with writings I'm interested to find more about on ‘Wise Up: Creating Organizational Wisdom Through an Ethic of Kaitiakitanga‘, Journal of Business Ethics, 104(2), 223-235, showing 
"what can be learned from the relational wisdom approach of Indigenous Māori (to) reframe the prevailing economic argument that has seen companies profit and prosper at the expense of communities and ecologies (through developing) an ethic of kaitiakitanga model premised on Māori values which holds the potential to enrich and further humanize our understanding of business."

Very proud to see learnings from my birth country New Zealand's Maori culture being shared for international application for environmental sustainability and social justice. 
I look forward to meeting Professor Henare another time. For now, fantastic to remember New Zealand has triple bottom line profit models we can recall to inspire our efforts in moving business and economic development to sustainable development.
