Welcome to the latest issue of <strong>InterAktive</strong>, which sees us<br />
share Aktive’s <strong>2024</strong>-2028 Strategic Plan for the first time.<br />
With Jennah Wootten<br />
Chief Executive Aktive<br />
The development of this<br />
Strategic Plan has been an<br />
interesting and energising process involving<br />
discussions on critical topics such as climate<br />
change, technology, infrastructure and<br />
social cohesion.<br />
We are grateful to the various stakeholders<br />
who shared their perspectives and<br />
expertise over the past twelve months.<br />
This input has been invaluable, and we<br />
hope you can see your contributions<br />
throughout the Strategic Plan, which sets a<br />
platform for our continued mahi together.<br />
A key input to our new Strategic Plan was<br />
a strategic foresight process, led by Dave<br />
Adams from Sport New Zealand. Over<br />
70 stakeholders from across the sector<br />
participated in workshops to advance<br />
futures work and we’re pleased to provide<br />
a summary of the final report within this<br />
issue of <strong>InterAktive</strong>.<br />

Our <strong>2024</strong>-2028 Strategic Plan continues<br />
to be underpinned by an equity approach<br />
to ensure our investment and efforts are<br />
centred on people and communities that<br />
are missing out, specifically tamariki and<br />
rangatahi who are under-active or where<br />
historic inequities exist.<br />
You’ll see that we have deliberately<br />
narrowed our focus to four strategic focus<br />
areas, which is where we believe we can<br />
have the greatest impact: Participation,<br />
Strengthening Sector Organisations,<br />
Funding and Advocacy, and Active<br />
Environments.<br />
We are looking forward to seeing what<br />
is possible over the <strong>2024</strong>-2028 period<br />
with this sharpened strategic focus, more<br />
targeted investment, and current and<br />
potential partnerships.<br />
As we look to the future, we would like to<br />
acknowledge the long-standing support<br />
we are very fortunate to receive from<br />
valued strategic funders who continue<br />
to support Tāmaki Makaurau and<br />
Aktive’s approach, notably Sport<br />
New Zealand, Auckland Council,<br />
Foundation North and NZCT. We also<br />
acknowledge the invaluable ongoing<br />
support of our Programme Partners<br />
Water Safety New Zealand and the<br />
Four Winds Foundation.<br />
In closing, it feels appropriate to<br />
reference one of three new values<br />
that Aktive has unveiled within our<br />
<strong>2024</strong>-2028 Strategic Plan. That is,<br />
United through Kotahitanga: we<br />
wholeheartedly believe that together,<br />
we will go further. This is core to who<br />
we are and how we operate. We hope<br />
you genuinely feel it and see it.<br />

SUMMARY<br />
<strong>2024</strong>-2028<br />
We are pleased to share this summary of our<br />
<strong>2024</strong> – 2028 Strategic Plan. You’ll see our vision<br />
remains bold, that Tāmaki Makaurau is the world’s<br />
most active city. You’ll see we’ve sharpened our<br />
strategic priorities; these are areas where we<br />
believe we can have the greatest impact. We also<br />
highlight our commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi<br />
showcase our values and clarify what our unique<br />
role is within the system.<br />

our <strong>2024</strong> – 2028 Strategic Plan and enjoy<br />
this short video (click the arrow). We hope it<br />
resonates and leaves you feeling as energised<br />
as we are. Here’s to <strong>2024</strong> – 2028!<br />
We know that we cannot realise the aspirations<br />
in this Strategic Plan alone. More importantly, we<br />
know we are stronger and can achieve more for<br />
Auckland and Aucklanders when we work with<br />
others.<br />

FUTURES<br />
REPORT<br />
<strong>2024</strong><br />
As part of the development of our Strategic Plan<br />
<strong>2024</strong>-2028, we invited futurist Dave Adams<br />
from Sport New Zealand to lead a strategic<br />
foresight process for us all in Auckland.<br />
This involved surveys, scenarios and workshop<br />
discussions, environmental scans and literature<br />
reviews to consider the changes and disruptions<br />
Aktive and Auckland will experience in the years<br />
beyond <strong>2024</strong>. And importantly, what potential<br />
responses we could take.<br />

This summary includes findings that are<br />
relevant to the sector, nationally and<br />
locally. We hope you find it as interesting<br />
as we did working through the process<br />
and that you can extend the use of it,<br />
internally within your own organisations<br />
or throughout your networks.<br />
