included in report  
1.  Did not go through the report in the meeting, majority was covered in other discussions.   
2.  At least 3 staff were close contacts of Covid infected people, waiting for testing, apprehension.  14-day 
isolation.  Young mums struggling with toddlers around the house.  Productivity stayed up, team morale is 
good.  But now starting to have enough.   
3.  A lot of businesses went into online mode very well, concerns about flow on affect with supply chain / 
timing issues.   
4.  Graham – Bharti and Vanessa have done a fantastic job pulling the team together.  Wellbeing side of 
things is so important.   
5.  Recruitment - Diversity Project Lead resigned.  Everyone pitching in.  Entry Project Lead offer declined.  
Tony Atina still doing this.  Going on seek and to recruitment company.  Diversity Project Lead resignation 
– Martin – complaints, counter complaints.  Lawyers brought in to manage process, person left employ.  
No pay out of any kind required, circumstances of departure are covered by a non-disclosure agreement.  
Co-Chairs kept abreast by Marin during the process.  What is the market like to get the right people?  It 
has been extremely difficult to find the right calibre.  Using industry connections to find people. 
 
2.  Correspondence  
1.  ConCOVE Member – Anthony Butterworth.  Complaint about Anthony Butterworth, business in 
liquidation, complaint from a creditor, not a reputable person, bought ConCOVE into disrepute having his 
name on our list.  Graham looked into him – claiming is he a member of groups that he isn’t.  We let him 
know we would be removing him, he wants details of the complaint to refute it.  Do we just remove him?  
Board suggestions – need to deal with it in a face to face way, keep confidence of complaint, he needs to 
be able to refute the claim.  Develop a list of criteria to guide decision making.  It’s at our discretion about 
who is a member.  Create criteria, give Anthony a chance to respond.  Bharti to contact other 
organisations about their criteria as a benchmark (Action Register #126).  Anthony needs to be able to 
have a say (Action Register #127).  Park issue until we have criteria. 

3.  Advisory Groups  
1.  Possibly stood the Advisory Groups up precipitously.  We don’t have good robust plans for each project 
with clear goals and direction, sense that the Advisory Groups have been invited to do their mahi before 
we had clear direction to share with them.  Reading minutes reinforced this.  Potentially slow down with 
Advisory Groups?  “Project Leads need some time to polish focus areas and then we can work with you”.   
2.  How did the last Pasifika Advisory Group meeting go?  A lot more positive than meeting before.  Stan and 
Tony – meeting based around Entry and Career Progression, agreed an agenda beforehand, Stan took 
control of the meeting, chaired well.  Positive vibe.  We managed to turn it around.  Biggest issue was they 
felt that they set an agenda which was changed, felt they were being used, when they want to be useful.  
Other two advisory groups?  No issues with Women’s Advisory Group, some rumbles in Maori Advisory 
Group, Graham has sat in on all meetings.   
3.  Pasifika Advisory Group – one person wants to bring up renumeration at next meeting.   
4.  Bharti – on 4th lot of meetings with Advisory Groups.  Every one – purpose and vision, objectives given to 
all groups.  Women’s Advisory Group – long, robust discussions.  Formed focus areas over last 3 meetings, 
focus areas now being shared with them.  Feedback always been positive and good.  Maori Advisory 
Group – very similar, chair, Kylie Nelio, and Bharti talk a lot, very interested in Sustainability.  Pasifika 
Advisory Group – from beginning, been a cautionary place, we weren’t able to break bread with them due 
to online meetings.  Topic of them having their own budget bought up.  They wanted to have a Pasifika 
strategy that served their purpose, what ConCOVE will do to help them achieve their objectives – had to 
resolve this over last 2 meetings.  Last meeting with Stan in a better place.  He is more aligned – we are 
going to meet Pasifika Community objectives, that ConCOVE will deliver this.  It’s about understanding and 
aligning.   
5.  Ministry of Pacific People report released recently – amount of unpaid / volunteer work Pacific people 
contribute to particularly corporate organisations.   
6.  Renumeration will come up at next Pasifika Advisory Group meeting. 
7.  Thoughts on renumeration / koha – some Board members not against it.  Understanding the motivations, 
right people there for the right reasons is key to success. Martin - we didn’t budget for it.  When we 
advertised for Advisory Groups, we were clear that they were not remunerated positions.  If we are going 
to commit resource, Bharti will need to rework the budget.  Assess the value the of the Advisory Groups in 
monetary terms rather than generic engagement terms.  Would have been good if they had raised it 
before accepting the position.  Discussion – if they arrived on voluntary terms, should stay with that for 
now, need to make them feel valuable.  Provision of food and face to face is a valuable way to spend 
money, help with their engagement.  All three Advisory Groups would need to be on the same level, if pay 
one, pay all.  Only one person that is making this approach, they knew what they were getting themselves 
into, 99% accept it.  Advisory Group members invited to stakeholder meeting, can’t take hours out of day 
to attend, have a meet up for Advisory Group members after the event, outside of work hours.  Make 
them feel valued.   
8.  Bharti has a plan for Advisory Group meetings, bringing everyone together face to face.   
9.  Diversity – Bharti has spoken to Women’s Advisory Group and Maori Advisory Group chairwomen to work 
with them closely, they are onboard and want to collaborate, work out what the gaps are and focus areas 
for ConCOVE.  To have access to these 3 groups, particularly with gap in Diversity space, is a great thing. 
10. What else can we do to keep AG members engaged?  Will think about this.  Focus groups will connect in 
with AG members.   
 
4.  TEC Midyear Report  
1.  Page 69 of report – “Board communicates with RSLG and WDC” – if its informal, who is doing it?  Phil and 
Graham are speaking to them, organising meetings as they start to fall into their positions.  Definitely 
happening.  Have a formal meeting next week to kick start introductions. 
2.  Typo – Martin Carroll – deputy spelt wrong. 
3.  Project 1 mentions apprenticeships sharing with 2, not in project 2. 
4.  Approve report (with above corrections made) - David Fabish moves, Pamela Bell seconded. 
 
5.  Project Update  
Martin’s update on reset –  
1.  Reset came about because first version of midyear report was very different to finalised one.  Difference 
between direction of projects, and what was signed off initially by TEC.  Held a meeting with Co-Chairs, 
Bharti and Team, and Martin, rewrote the report.  In process, helped us identify areas where teams had 

possibly started to go down paths that were going to get them too far away from original intent of 
projects.   
2.  Got TEC report in, for compliance.  Sent to Te Pukenga on time.  They were a day late in getting it to TEC, 
who now has it.  No feedback from TEC, bear in mind we might not hear back. 
3.  Project by project, have an hour-long meeting with Bharti, Martin and project team, and have a reset.  Go 
back to original intended deliverables, making sure project plans rooted from that starting position.  Think 
about how go forward from there.   
4.  Generic things arisen – projects that were up and running first, moved too fast to external engagement, 
getting people excited about projects before team had clarity of what core goals were, original intended 
deliverables were.  Teams started to get into trouble with lack of focus.   
5.  Project team needed to think more about their methodology, types of methods to use to achieve 
deliverables.  All started looking at case studies, lit review, without understanding the purpose of lit 
review – which was not to have a scholarly article, but assess the state of play, find who the players are, 
what they are doing, making sure we don’t trip over the work of other people, who we should be 
combining with, where the gaps are relating to our projects.   
6.  Have had two reset meetings – Disruption and Sustainability.  Discussed details.    
7.  Not as much reset on Sustainability as needed on Disruption.   
8.  Career Progression and Entry review next week.   
 
General -  
1.  ConCOVE presents each Board Meeting about contacts – scope creep.  List of gaps in industry to be 
presented to the Board.  Can work with Board to potentially meet other gaps – seek Board feedback. 
(Action Item #128) 
2.  Lit Review / landscape assessment – allowed us to assess the playing field, now we have to move that to 
the side and do the work that’s come out of it.  We can have an ongoing review process of understanding 
the landscape on a quarterly basis and providing that feedback.  (Action Item #129). 
3.  Bharti to stay engaged with Katherine Hall – has a list of all projects to check for overlapping.  (Action Item 
#130). 
 
6.  Marketing and Comms  
Logo –  
1.  Option B for ConCOVE Tuhura Logo voted in. (Decision Register #41).  Get two versions of logo – one with 
tagline, one without tagline.   
2.  Must pronounce Tuhura right.   
3.  If you have any more recommendations for tagline, send to Vanessa.  (Action Item #131).  Should there be 
a macron above the first U? (Action Item #132). 
 
General -  
1.  Introductions with Iwi are being done when personal connections, need a plan for connecting with Iwi, 
working with Maori Advisory Group.  Amos, Phil, Craig can come back to us on this to give advice and 
direction and come back to Bharti.  ConCOVE to write iwi engagement strategy and put together in a 
wider national plan.  (Action Item #121) 
2.  2022 Calendar – timeline of events created to support requirements and keep on top of external reporting 
requirements to TEC. Feedback - 27 July – third week of school holidays.   Any feedback on schedule let us 
know.  (Action Item #133). 
3.  Christchurch event will be rescheduled. 
4.  Lift profile of engagement with South Island. 
5.  Two email addresses – ConCOVE email address to external people?  Bring up at next meeting. Dom to give 
feedback.  Get something from MIT IT.   Paho to go from [email address]. (Action Item #134).  
 
7.  General Business  
Projects -  
1.  Does Board want a specific paper on research methodology?  Each project will have its own method.  
Share good common practices, but method needs to be fit for objectives of the project.  Be good to 
understand balance between industry / academic and have consistency.   
2.  Sustainability Lit Review due Q4.  Not completed yet 
3.  We are organising for Lit Reviews, reports to go to Lit Review, then will send final products to Board.   

4.  Bharti to get back to Dave about connecting with David Kelly and Brian Rosenberg.  Bharti also to connect 
with Constructiv. (Action Item #114). 
5.  How are we identifying female learners – diversity space with women – captured in every project, every 
project has a diversity space.  Diversity project has a big component of this.   
6.  Project leads to get closer with Board Member project champions regarding strategies and objectives with 
projects - working on key objectives, once this is done, will invite Board Members dependent on time and 
interest, to some focus areas.  Should Board Champions help Project Lead’s shape the work earlier rather 
than later?  The degree to which industry partners are helping shape these projects is important.  What is 
the status of the shaped project at?  Martin – work he has been doing with the teams isn’t around 
finalising the project plans, more helping the teams understand original intent of the projects.  Teams had 
started to drift from original intention.  Been doing a reset with team, so original intent is understood.  
The sooner we can get Board Project Champions involved, the better.  How the projects connect with 
industry to get engagement and feedback is really important.  Understanding planning is important to 
Board. Some project focus areas have been submitted to TEC – came from engagement with industry and 
Vocational Education by project leads, in the papers submitted to TEC – broaden now, invite the board to 
have a debrief on focus areas.  Bharti to come back and present the flow of how we intend to do this 
going forward.  (Action Item #122).
