Tere ki Tai: Navigating the tides of supplier diversity

Tere ki Tai, meaning "traversing the tides," is Amotai's buyer maturity matrix. This framework helps organisations navigate their supplier diversity journey, assess their current practices, and set ambitious goals for the future.


Inspired by the legacy of waka voyaging, Tere ki Tai uses six tide levels—ranging from Tai Mate (stagnant tide) to Tai Āniwhaniwha (tsunami tide)—to represent stages of maturity. Each level offers unique insights and benchmarks, guiding buyers to become leaders in supplier diversity.


How Tere ki Tai works:

1.
Self-assessment survey:

Begin by evaluating your organisation’s supplier diversity practices using our structured survey.

2.
Customised report:

Receive a tailored report highlighting strengths, areas for improvement, and progress across key indicators.

3.
