PROGRAMMES
In a world that refuses to cooperate, I specialise in working with leaders and organisations to maximise their individual and collective impact. By adopting approaches designed to work in our ultra-dynamic world, collective commitment to getting the job done is possible.
Ready for a better way to tackle your toughest problems?
THE COLLABORATION EFFECT
Without exception, solving the tough stuff, the wicked, gnarly problems that cause the best to scratch their heads and wonder How on earth? is best achieved through collaboration.
When you share an ambition, create a new Us (rather than reinforce the old Us and Them) and find alignment around the matters that matter, the impossible becomes possible. How? Through collective commitment to action.
Unleash the power of collaboration in your organisation and experience the difference it makes: release potential, create new opportunities, uncover innovative solutions and build strong connections.
Through a guided, learn-by-doing process you’ll be set up for success, kept on track through the tough patches, and equipped with approaches to build collaborative DNA.
“Working with Ann on a multi-agency collaboration in the national disaster management area. She has helped us to learn about each other and our organisations, explore the problems we seek to solve, and created the space for our people to find solutions.
Ann is helping us enable better planning, response, and recovery before, during and after disasters. Her approach is innovative, sensitive to the challenges of government and highly effective.”

” Working with Ann and her colleagues on a national initiative to help a group of business leaders think about climate change as a whole system, and get clear on what they wanted to focus on for impact for NZ, was inspiring for me.
It really influenced business leaders working together to go faster on the climate agenda and take leadership on building it out to the next level nationally.”
