Matariki Recommended Reading List 2023: Kia whakahauti e ngā o Ururangi
26/6/2023
Each year as we move towards Matariki, I gather the seeds of knowledge I have found most useful in the year just gone, and I offer it to others.
In 2021 I offered knowledge on good public sector governance, with a focus on collaboration and anticipatory governance. Last year my list focussed on decolonising anglo public institutions.
This year I have been gathering mātauranga around equity of access, outcomes, quality and process. My focus has been on vaccination uptake and, in particular, the work Ao Māori institutions to produce equity because the state appeared to be both unwilling and unable.
Here is my 2023 reading list.

Comment: Regulatory Standards Bill

Let me be direct: these proposals lack any supporting evidence that they would improve our regulatory environment. Instead, they demonstrate a troubling pattern of overreach. The fundamental problems are st...

Apropos of nothing - except for the current vibe coming out of Wellington. Let's be frank about what went wrong with the Knowledge Wave circa 2001 and 2003. I remember sitting in those early conferences - all optimism and powerpoints about our gleaming tech future. But in reality, we were trying to bolt a Silicon Valley dream onto a country that runs on milk powder and tourist dollars. Here's...
