Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Reconciliation Roadmap, Dixie Crawford unpacks what it really takes to move from one RAP level to the next — and why rushing the process can do more harm than good. Whether you're moving from Reflect to Innovate, or gearing up for Stretch or Elevate, this episode is a practical guide for leaders and RAP Working Groups who want to make the transition with integrity, not just for appearances. Dixie calls out the common traps — like over-promising, under-resourcing, and letting one person carry the load and walks you through how to get your house in order before you step up. Takeaways: Every RAP transition must be earned – It’s not about status. It's about whether your organisation has the maturity, resources and systems in place to go deeper with reconciliation. A readiness checklist is essential – Before moving up, you need to honestly assess staff ownership, cultural capability, budget, governance, and the strength of your community relationships. Preparation is the difference between credibility and collapse – If you rush it, trust breaks. If you do it right, reconciliation becomes embedded and sustainable.
