Implementing your plan
When you are developing a Māori language plan, think about how you will implement it. The work programme must have activities that can be realistically achieved.
Once you have prepared your work programme, look around your community and see what exists to help you. For the Māori language, the most important resource is people.
Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori recommends that iwi and hapū nominate a person, or a group, that are responsible for developing and actioning the Māori language plan and ensuring the work programme happens on time.
Our motivation for implementing strategic plans often fluctuates. People are often involved in other events and activities; in such circumstances it is sometimes necessary to put aside the kaupapa of the strategic plan. It is often difficult to pick it up again.
However, if there is a person or group of people responsible for implementing the plan and ensuring the work programme happens, this will help to increase the motivation and commitment of iwi and hapū members to the work
programme.
