I’m a Melbourne-based systems consultant and researcher. I have spent over a decade thinking about how we make sense of complexity in the world around us; how we turn confusion into action; and how we can overcome hubris to achieve meaningful systems change.

I currently work as the Systems Change Lead at Collaboration for Impact, where I lead a network of practitioners and partners to create the conditions for systems change across Australia.
I am also known for developing the System Effects methodology, which is widely used to analyse complex causal relationships in participatory and qualitative data.
I also write a weekly newsletter about systems, complexity and how things can be done differently.
