    Collaborative Governance

    We support the building of collaborative governance across partnerships  and collaborations in the Australian context.

    When governance sits across organisational, sectoral and cultural boundaries it can be challenging to negotiate ways of working together for a shared purpose.  We can support the design of governance structures and processes for sure but also help you understand and develop the mindsets needed and the use of power and authority for change.

    When things do not go as planned we can also support collaborative governance meditations or conflict resolution. Our approach is practical and applicable in cross cultural challenges.

    In addition, with qualifications as Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and experience on Boards of Governance and Boards of Management for over 15 years we have supported the development of formal governance processes in many sectors.

    Collaborative Change to Shift Systems

    Collaboration is challenging. To change systems and work collectively for impact takes time, relationship and expertise.

    We have the skills and experience to support you to do the heavy lifting in this work.

    We understand that collaboration takes effort and resources and works only when needed- to achieve a purpose that requires many perspectives to understand and shift patterns of behaviour across the system.

    Change processes need to reflect the ‘place’, the rhythm of the community and the readiness of the institutions.

    Our aim is to walk beside you so that at the conclusion of our work together there is a strengthening of your practice and we are not needed for the work to continue.

    Future Horizons

    For many people and issues ‘business as usual’ is not working anymore.

    Tackling the complex issues communities are facing means a new way of thinking for sense making, planning and doing.  We facilitate future thinking, design and planning processes that challenge assumptions, explore desirable futures and build bridges between your work now and what is being called for in the future.

    Cross Cultural Collaboration

    We work with cross cultural collaborations to build a deeper understanding of each other’s perspective to design an environment for work that is respectful of all voices.

    Leaders and community change agents come from a range of cultures and life experiences. We enable collaborations to redefine cross cultural relationships so work can be done together for a shared purpose or outcome.
