Real support. Sharp thinking. Outcomes that stick.

At Riaki, we help organisations move forward with clarity, capability, and confidence. Whether you’re navigating change, sharpening direction, or lifting performance, we bring practical experience and a focus on results.

You won’t get generic reports or off-the-shelf frameworks. Instead, you’ll work with advisors who understand your world and tailor their support to your needs, your people, and your kaupapa.

Business & Organisational Reviews

Step back. See clearly. Act with confidence.

We help you understand how your organisation is really functioning, across people, structure, systems, and strategy. Our reviews give you the insight to focus on what matters and the recommendations to move forward.

Examples of support:

  • Capability and capacity assessments
  • Structural or functional reviews

Fractional Leadership Support

Executive-level expertise. When and where you need it.

We step in temporarily as a GM, CFO, COO, project lead, or strategy advisor — to provide short-term leadership or stability.

This is ideal when you’re in a transition phase, expanding capacity, or need specialist support without a full-time hire.

Examples of support:

  • Interim executive roles
  • Backfilling during leave or transition
  • Leading special projects or change initiatives
  • Mentoring internal leaders into new roles

Strategy & Facilitation

Clear thinking. Shared direction. Real momentum.

We design and lead workshops, offsites, and strategic planning sessions that get the right people in the room, and on the same page.

We help you move from ideas to actions, and ensure every voice has space in the process.

Examples of support:

  • Annual planning or strategic planning
  • Team alignment or reset workshops
  • Cross-organisation collaboration
  • Board and executive retreats
  • Tiger team for critical issues

Executive Coaching & Capability Uplift

Grow the leaders your future needs.

We support individual leaders and leadership teams to grow their confidence, decision-making, and delivery.

Coaching is practical, honest, and always grounded in real-world experience, not just theory.

Examples of support

  • One-on-one executive coaching
  • Emerging leader development
  • Team coaching and diagnostics
  • Embedding better leadership behaviours
  • Coaching Management, to Governance
