Our Ka Tipu
Origin Story

Too often, organisations and consulting firms bend their ways of working to fit the limitations of available platforms. That never made sense to us. So, we built our own platform, Ka Tipu Te Rangatiratanga: designed to flex around our clients’ needs, not the other way around.

Ka Tipu Te Rangatiratanga was more than a name, it was a taonga, gifted to us by our Manu Tāiko. It captured our belief - that leadership grows from within; from real people, in real places, with real potential. That great leadership doesn’t arrive - it is nurtured and emerges.

That foundation and belief remain and have evolved, now to Ka Tipu: a platform that honours where we came from and helps people everywhere grow into the leaders they’re capable of becoming. Ka Tipu te Rangatiratanga, symbolised the seeds and shoots of leadership, our new name represents the next stage: from emergence to expression, from potential to impact. Not just for leaders, but for everyone.

Ka Tipu is an agile, customisable, evidence-based platform that humanises assessment and development experiences at work, while delivering data rich insights to support better talent and leadership decisions.

Ka Tipu allows you to customise almost every element of your assessment and development work: from creating surveys and questionnaires, to bundling world-class assessment tools, to producing beautifully branded, insight rich reports. Ka tipu is a purpose built application, with thoughtful UX/ UI and privacy by design as core principles, so you can move quickly, confidently and responsibly.

Now, through WBL Self Service, you can directly access and use Ka Tipu yourself; when and where you need it.

You can access proven ready-to-go assessments, surveys and reports, or create tailored or custom selection and development resources, or or host your own surveys, questionnaires, psychometric and other assessment tools, without complexity or compromise. Ka Tipu is ideal if you want to make evidence-informed, people-centred decisions that genuinely reflect your organisation’s culture, priorities and aspirations.
