Digital strategy and marketing consultant Dr Warren Williams will discuss his recent research into Māori in the IT industry at this public talk on Wednesday, 9 March, with a focus on a new leadership model he has called 'Digital Taniwha Leadership'.
Dr Williams proposes a value-based, Māori principle-based leadership style for emerging Māori IT professionals, and for the IT/business industry sector as a whole.
His presentation will highlight the principles of kaitiakitanga (guardianship) and manaakitanga (hospitality) as key focal points for 'Digital Kaitiaki' leadership roles.

Also sharing views from their own areas of knowledge on leadership and business are:
