Our Values

Mission Statement

At Kahukutupu Consulting, we guide businesses through meaningful transformation—adapting to change while staying true to their purpose.

When a caterpillar becomes a butterfly, it breaks itself down and rebuilds completely. And yet, studies have shown it retains memories from its life before. This discovery reshaped how we understand transformation — just as we aim to reshape how businesses grow: by evolving without erasing what makes them who they are.

This metaphor embodies our approach:

Just as transformation requires a complete internal rebuild, we work across all areas of your business—structure, culture, strategy, and market—to support deep, lasting change.
Like the cocoon, we create the conditions for safe transformation—offering guidance, clarity, and protection through periods of uncertainty.
We help preserve what matters—your values, your vision, and your core identity—so you evolve without losing who you are.
Our strength lies in seeing the whole system—spotting risks and opportunities that siloed approaches often miss, and guiding you toward sustainable, future-ready growth.

Our Packages

Each stage of transformation needs the right support. Our three packages guide your business from internal alignment to external impact—then walk with you through real-world implementation.

Makorori Package
caterpillar
Like the caterpillar preparing for transformation, this package focuses on strengthening what’s within. It's designed to realign your operations with your original vision, reduce internal friction, and build a healthier, more resilient business from the inside out.

The Makorori Package offers a full internal review—staff interviews and surveys, 1-on-1 leadership coaching, team-building workshops, and a deep dive into your policies, procedures, and communication systems.
The makorori package includes:
Business coaching and team workshops.

Staff interviews and policy reviews.
