2025 MIT - KPMG HUI #2

Our second KPMG Hui was a chance for our cohort to pause, share progress, and refine our projects. The focus was on presenting prototypes, receiving constructive feedback, and developing our sites further.

We began by reflecting on what had emerged for us including any insights that have add clarity to our purpose or challenged our thinking. For me, the most powerful feedback came directly from those my project intends to help and support - other kaiako.

I have finished my prototype and have shared it with a few select people and have asked for their feedback on the content and layout.  I appreciated their comments and suggestions. 

E tono atu au ki aku hoa kaimahi.Tokomaha ngā tāngata e tautoko ana i te kaupapa. He nui te hiahia mō ngā rauemi reo matatini. He nui hoki te hiahia mō ngā rauemi e honohono ana ki te rangaranga reo ā-tā. The feedback received indicated lots of support from my peers and confirmed a considerable need for reo matatini resources, along with a growing demand for structured literacy materials in te reo Māori.

He nui te mahi. Kāore e au i te mōhio kei hea kia tīmata ai. E mea ana a Matt me tīmata ki tētahi kaupapa - whakaotia tēnā katahi ka nukuhia ki tētahi anō kaupapa. He rawe tōna whakaaro! He uaua mōku te whakatakatoranga o ngā mahi ki te paetukutuku. The workload is enormous. I'm not sure where to start. Matt suggested starting with one kaupapa - finish it and then start on another kaupapa.  I am struggling with how to present the mahi on the site.

One of the key parts of the hui was sharing our prototypes with each other. It felt great to finally talk through my project and hear others’ ideas. The feedback really made me pause and think about how I’d structured the site and how I was adding content. I’ll admit, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed — worried I wouldn’t get everything done. But I was reminded that my site is a sharing hub, something that will continue to grow and evolve over time. One simple but powerful suggestion stood out: focus on developing one area well before moving to the next. That advice helped me reset my thinking and feel more confident about my direction.
