For-Purpose services

Together, we unlock the potential of purpose-driven organisations to create lasting change across Aotearoa.

Empowering For-Purpose organisations across Aotearoa.

We partner with purpose-driven organisations to unlock the full potential of their greatest asset – their people. By investing in your team, we help you drive positive change, foster growth, and build a sustainable future. We understand that each For-Purpose organisation faces its own unique challenges, which is why we take the time to understand your mission, culture, and goals.

What does For-Purpose mean?
The term For-Purpose reflects a broader, more contemporary view of what has traditionally been known as the not-for-profit sector. It encompasses a spectrum of organisations – from charities and community groups, to mission-led enterprises and businesses where social impact and financial performance go hand in hand. What unites them is a clear intention to deliver positive outcomes for people, communities, and the planet.

Tailored support that makes a difference
Whether you’re looking for support in recruitment, leadership development, HR, or organisational change, our team of experts is here to craft tailored solutions that fit your needs. We are proud to work alongside organisations of all sizes and sectors across Aotearoa, building long-term partnerships that empower your people to succeed.

Kase Craig – For-Purpose Lead

Kase brings a rare mix of strategic insight, creative thinking, and personal connection to his work with For-Purpose organisations across Aotearoa. As Brannigans’ For-Purpose Lead, he partners with values-driven organisations to shape leadership vision and deliver impactful people strategies.

Before entering the world of HR and recruitment, Kase spent over a decade as a classical ballet dancer in France. That experience gave him deep insight into the realities of purpose-led environments – from the arts to community organisations – at both national and international levels. He holds a Master of Business Administration (Distinction) from the University of Canterbury, where he partnered with Canterbury Museum on a project to improve accessibility for neurodivergent visitors. Kase now lectures on creativity in leadership and is passionate about helping organisations align people, purpose, and performance.
