Her key areas of mahi are the Māori economy, including indigenous trade and strengths-based Māori futures, and workforce issues, including workforce development strategies, understanding retention and attrition, workforce wellbeing, and the value of diversity.

The workplace disrupted: Five elements shaping the future of work and skills
Tapping into the wealth of knowledge and research from the wider BERL team, Amanda will talk about the elements that will shape the workforce, workplace, and work of the future. From a foundation of understanding the influence of population and migration, we will explore these five elements using data and evidence-based insights. Covering growth and at-risk sectors, global trends, and pipeline issues in New Zealand, you’ll be armed with knowledge to help people adapt to the new world of work.
Workshop Presenter: Piki Diamond
Piki Diamond’s (Ngāti Tūwharetoa, Ngāpūhi, Ngāti Pākehā and raised by Tauranga Moana) Piki’s background is in Visual Arts and her creativity has steered her to doctoral studies seeking how wānanga (mystery schooling) may bring to life the Nation’s promise to ‘honour te Tiriti o Waitangi’ within the university. Her professional title, academic developer within altLAB, AUT, but more importantly to her, she is a mother, partner, sister, aunty, kuia (eldest-generation female in family), artist and both tāngata whenua and tāngtata Tiriti.
Piki will facilitate this wānanga:
Mana Tiriti: Wayfinding the Tiriti channel
Often we approach te Tiriti relationship with a rationalising lens of identifying differences and similarities to find strategy. This wānanga adopts a relational lens, through identifying the dynamics – conflicts and creation – that occur when the values of tāngata whenua and the Crown are required to co-exist.
You will be facilitated to travel back through your whakapapa to claim your indigeneity and from those foundations we unpack the dynamics that are evident in our practices to explore solutions and approaches we could adopt, collectively and/or individually.
