For government & the public sector
From aware to capable — for your whole team.
A supported programme that takes people who feel shut out of AI to real capability — then teaches them agentic training: how to build AI workflows with checks, stops and human approval, shaped to what their roles actually need. Bicultural, dignity-first, and measured by outcomes, not attendance.
What it is
Wrapped with the things an agency needs: a clear record of what each person has learned, measured outcomes, and support all the way through. This is the public-sector view of the Kaiārahi Playbook — see the full programme and cohort journey.
We take people who feel shut out of AI and bring them to real capability and standing — for everyone on the team, not just the technical few.
Teams learn to build AI workflows for their mahi — with checks, stops and human approval built in — turning new confidence into real, useful tools.
Before/after measures, completion, and the things people build — assembled into honest evidence, with a record of what each person has learned at the end.
Funding & procurement
Public-sector capability spend rarely has to come from one budget line. We'll help you find the right pathway and prepare what each one needs.
Business and workforce-capability schemes can co-fund advisory and training. We help scope the cohort so it fits the criteria.
For smaller teams and regional agencies, the RBP network can connect capability vouchers and local support to the programme.
A New Zealand supplier, set up to meet public-sector procurement and the Government's supplier-diversity and Māori-business goals.
For iwi and Crown work with sensitive data, we design for NZ-based hosting, strict data minimisation, and governance you set — documented with you before any data moves, and never sold.
Indicative pathways only — eligibility and scheme names change. We confirm current options with you during the discovery conversation.
Who it's for
Government agencies — capability uplift that lifts the individual and the nation together: productivity for all of Aotearoa.
Iwi and community organisations — bicultural by design, built for the hapori, and careful with Māori data: handled openly, reviewed properly, never sold.
Businesses & their teams — practical AI capability and agents that earn their keep.
Why Kaiārahi
Built for capable adults; no one is talked down to, and no one's made to feel behind.
A New Zealand company that genuinely knows both worlds, European and Māori, and builds that into how the programme runs.
Before/after evidence you can stand behind, not attendance sheets.
Help the person at the kitchen table, and you help the whole country grow.
A note of respect: Aotearoa already has strong Māori-led AI mahi. Kaiārahi doesn't claim to be first — we're one model within that wider ecosystem, focused on everyday capability, walking alongside the people already doing the work.
No price tag — a conversation
Every organisation is different, so the Playbook is shaped to fit — cohort size, outcomes, and the agents that matter to your work. Tell us what you're trying to do and we'll come back with a plan.
