“It was a real privilege to be part of this project and I think it has the potential to become a foundational piece of work that helps shift how we think about the relationship between philanthropy and business in New Zealand.”

Aaron Hape, via LinkedIn

“Changing Paradigms brings together a diverse range of local voices exploring governance and leadership in the for-purpose space. What I really appreciated is the strength-based, grounded perspective—real experiences, diverse thinking, with a strong sense of purpose woven throughout.

It really affirms the importance of meeting organisations where they are and building from what is already strong. It’s also a helpful reminder that good governance is relational, values-led, and always evolving alongside the communities we serve.”
