Te Puna Tahua Toa (TPTT), in partnership with Harvard Business School, AFOA Canada, and NAFOA USA, is proud to open applications for the 2026 Harvard Executive Program.

Program Dates: 04 – 08 May 2026

Location: Harvard Business School, Boston, USA

Applications close: 15 November 2025

This bespoke five-day executive training programme is designed for Indigenous leaders working across accounting, finance, governance, and business. Delivered at the Harvard campus, participants will be fully immersed in the Harvard Business School environment — joining executives and business leaders from First Nations communities across Canada and the United States.

The week combines leading Harvard business papers, case studies, and model frameworks into an Indigenous-focused executive education experience. Participants are expected to complete pre-program preparation, including case studies, model considerations, and personal reflection exercises.

This is a rare opportunity for our rōpū to engage directly with global Indigenous peers, gain new strategic insights, and strengthen Māori economic leadership through world-class education.

The programme fee is heavily subsidised by Harvard and AFOA Canada to support participants from Aotearoa. All course fees, travel, and related costs remain the responsibility of the attendee.

Applicants must meet the eligibility criteria and are subject to the TPTT selection and approval process. Seats are limited.
