Rongo was founded by Sam Ragnarsson and Chad Payne, to bring clarity and collaboration to the way organisations think and work.
We operate at the intersection of strategy, data, governance, and design — helping teams move from complexity and fragmentation toward structure, insight, and purpose.
Our approach combines:
Systems thinking – seeing connections between policy, people, and data.
Framework creation – translating ideas into visual, repeatable models.\
Integrity and governance – ensuring structures promote transparency and trust.
Facilitation and storytelling – turning technical issues into shared understanding.
Rongo has worked across councils, ministries, and industry groups throughout New Zealand, aligning stakeholders and simplifying the technical and organisational layers behind large programmes of work.
