Guiding Transformative Change with Wisdom and Innovation

Navigating Change Together

Strategic Change Consulting

I offer comprehensive strategic change consulting services to help organizations navigate complex transformations in both short and long-term projects. As a Senior Organizational Change Manager, I can lead and manage change initiatives from inception to completion. I utilize SenseMaker®, an innovative tool for distributed ethnography and sense-making. SenseMaker® allows for large-scale capture of narratives directly from individuals within your organization, combining quantitative data with rich qualitative insights. By enabling respondents to interpret their own experiences, it provides authentic, real-time insights into patterns, themes, and emerging issues without the bias of third-party interpretation. I also provide Strategic Change Assessments that combine advanced tools with interviews, observations, and data analysis. Leveraging frameworks like Cynefin and Estuarine Mapping, I identify factors that shape and influence your system. This approach involves identifying existing narratives and behaviors to foster positive change, designing micro-interventions to shift the system toward desired outcomes with reduced risk and cost, and developing adaptive strategies responsive to the complex nature of organizational environments. My goal is to reduce risks and create environments where meaningful, sustainable change can emerge. Whether you need support for a specific project or ongoing change management expertise, my services are tailored to meet the unique challenges of your organization.

Organizational Cultural Transformation

I facilitate organizational culture transformations using innovative tools like QuickSense from the Cynefin Company, combined with interviews and observations. QuickSense gathers qualitative data directly from people's experiences, turning them into authentic analyses created by the respondents themselves. This approach reveals invisible cultural patterns, beliefs, and experiences, providing a holistic understanding of your organization's working environment.

With QuickSense, we blend narrative and quantitative data to map cultural shifts, identify hidden patterns, and enable fast feedback cycles to adapt quickly to emerging trends.

Drawing from my background in Buddhist studies, anthro-complexity, and systems psychodynamics, I delve into the human aspects of change. This multidisciplinary perspective helps us understand and navigate the challenges of transformation effectively. By emphasizing storytelling, distributed assessments, and micro-observations, I assist organizations in enhancing collaboration, improving team dynamics, and evolving organizational culture to align with your strategic goals in today's complex business environment.

My goal is to empower your organization with the insights and tools needed to proactively understand and influence your culture. Through this approach, we can create a more resilient, adaptive, and engaged workforce ready to meet the challenges of a complex world.

As an independent advisor to senior executives, I provide outside perspectives that challenge conventional thinking and enhance decision-making. Combining over 15 years of diverse industry experience—including roles in IT, software development, and various industries—I bring a unique blend of expertise to help leaders navigate complex challenges.

My background in Buddhism, systems psychodynamics, and anthro-complexity, along with ongoing self-directed education, allows me to offer deep insights into human behavior and organizational dynamics. Drawing from extensive studies and rich experiences—including interviews with experts in decolonization, neuroscience, complexity science, and elite athletics—I empower executives to reduce biases, make more informed decisions, and foster relational accountability.

My approach involves gently holding up a mirror to reflect insights that might otherwise be overlooked, ensuring leaders are equipped to make the best decisions possible. I help implement processes that minimize cognitive biases in decision-making, enhance strategic thinking, and bridge gaps between technical and executive teams. By applying cutting-edge methodologies and a deep understanding of complex systems, I support leaders in navigating uncertainty and driving sustainable organizational success.

My goal is to act as a trusted partner who not only advises but also empowers leaders to drive meaningful and sustainable change. Through independent perspectives and a wealth of knowledge from various disciplines, I help executives navigate complexity with clarity and confidence.
