My Services

What I can help you with

I work with public services organisations who are grappling with complex cross-organisational boundary problems. As a wicked problem solving practitioner, I help guide organisations to identify, diagnose and develop boundary-spanning collaborative solutions address their most complex and messy issues.Unlike stereotypical consultants, I don't take a reductionist approach. The world consists of systems of systems - where everything is connected and flows. I use advanced facilitation skills and advanced problem solving skills to help organisations to think in systems: taking in the the big picture, its components, connections and multiple points of view. I guide organisations to think and act collaboratively - helping to develop their people and their processes so they can realise true collaborative advantage for the benefit of their communities, service users and staff.
