Description

The sport industry has undergone significant change over recent decades. We have seen a transformation of sport from a community driven past-time to a professional business sector dependent on funding or self-sufficient through profit making, while often still reliant on volunteers. This course investigates governance of sports organisations through a variety of contexts. This includes a focus on board leadership, motivations and structures, including a focus on addressing Maori and Pasifika health and well-being goals and outcomes as a strategic priority for sports organisations. There is a particular focus on Sport NZ’s development and use of Te Pake o Ihi Aotearoa Maori Outcomes Framework and Ara Taiohi’s Mana Taiohi framework. This course focuses on community engagement through the use of marketing communications to create strong connection, action and support.

Learning Outcomes

1) Understand the role of governance in sports organisations.
2) Describe funding sources in Aotearoa and apply this knowledge to a sporting context
3) Identify the elements of successful sport governance, including those in Māori and Pasifika sports organisations.
4) Investigate the use of Māori and Pasifika focused frameworks within the sports industry.
5) Describe elements of community/stakeholder engagement for sports organisations and how to successfully engage with diverse audiences, for example Māori and Pasifika communities.
