Mindset

The Te Hono mindset comes from a greater concept: Hono Tangata, Hono Whenua, Hono ki te ao – strengthening relationships by linking to the people, the land and connecting to the world.

It has three key connection points:

• to the people – organisation, whanau, company, Bootcamp Alumni,
• to the land – health of the land and people, replenishing and rejuvenating, food and nourishment, vibrancy, health and well-being, and
• to the world – global relationships, new markets, learning from the word, shared stories and knowledge.

Te Hono is inclusive. All individuals are engaged to take on leadership roles. There is a growing sense of responsibility, credibility and accountability. People empower one another through the quest for knowledge.

Iti-Nui

If Te Hono is your mindset then Iti-Nui is the action that will help solve today’s problems with a broad view towards a better tomorrow.

Iti-Nui is the idea of acting both big and small. It’s the idea that something small and precious can have an impact on something big, vast and expansive. It is a philosophy that is relevant to life at many levels – personally, within communities, businesses, organisations and nations – NZ Inc.

It’s a Māori concept that was coined at Stanford Bootcamp 2014; it summarises the aspirations of Bootcamp activities to build a better Aotearoa, New Zealand.

Iti-Nui can be harnessed through design principles, business participation, innovation and clever communication.
