Organisational Capability Change & Transition Culture & Leadership
I’ve spent 20+ years working across corporate, education and consulting environments, supporting leaders and teams through their most demanding seasons.
My approach blends:
Organisational development and workforce strategy
Leadership and learning design
Systems thinking and practice-based change
Deep respect for the human experience of work
Theory of Practice Architectures to identify the barriers and enablers of organisational performance
Above-the-Line leadership
Narrative counselling
Emotional resilience and self-esteem frameworks
I bring both strategic insight and practical execution and I’m comfortable operating with senior leaders, technical experts and frontline teams alike.
I work with leaders and organisations to strengthen clarity, confidence and leadership practice in complex environments.
I partner with organisations navigating change, growth, restructure and complexity to strengthen leadership capability, workforce systems and culture, so strategy translates into lived practice, not burnout.
I work most often with institutions where the work matters: education, research, health, public service and purpose-driven organisations. I support organisations to build the human and organisational foundations required for sustainable performance, particularly during periods of transition.
My work typically includes:
Organisational capability and workforce framework design
Change management and transition support, including restructures
Culture and inclusion strategy grounded in everyday practice
Leadership capability development for complex environments
Career pathways, performance and development frameworks
Facilitation and co-design across diverse stakeholder groups
I work in partnership, not at arm’s length.
My approach is:
Embedded – I take the time to understand context, constraints and culture
Collaborative – co-designing with leaders, teams and stakeholders
Structured – using clear frameworks, language and process
Human-centred – without losing rigour or strategic focus
I’m often brought in when organisations need someone who can:
hold sensitive change conversations
design clear, usable frameworks
translate strategy into practice
bring coherence where things feel fragmented
I’m particularly effective in environments that are:
Intellectually complex
Values-driven or publicly accountable
Navigating structural or cultural change
Balancing performance, wellbeing and inclusion
Managing competing priorities and stakeholder expectations
This includes academic institutions, research organisations, health services, government and large not-for-profits.
Periods of change and restructure place significant pressure on people, systems and culture.
I support organisations to:
design and lead change with clarity and care
strengthen change readiness and leadership capability
support people through transition with dignity
rebuild trust, cohesion and direction post-change
The aim is not change for its own sake, but capability that lasts.
Engagements typically take the form of:
project-based organisational capability or change work
advisory or embedded consulting roles
leadership and workforce program design
facilitation of strategic conversations and co-design processes
If you’re navigating complexity and want thoughtful, grounded support, I’d welcome a conversation.
