I usually work with teams facing the following situations.
The problem a team brings me sometimes points to a different issue. I help map the system's feedback loops and hidden dependencies to find where action can make a difference.
Clarity before solutionsI work with organisations whose transitions affect structure, culture and operations at the same time, where standard change management methods don't fit.
Transformation as a living processPeople around the table may see the problem very differently. I structure conversations so they can work through disagreements and find common ground without forcing consensus.
Productive tension, not groupthinkFor teams struggling to keep up with change, I help develop the ability to spot emerging issues and consider their implications before a crisis develops.
See early, move confidently"My most effective configuration is alongside a specialist."
I build on a specialist's knowledge by connecting it with other fields and disciplines. That wider view reveals connections they may miss within their own field.
I also use this approach in ventures I co-found and research projects I contribute to, connecting ideas and looking for patterns.
We help leaders interpret emerging signals and explore strategy through hands-on experience.
Co-founded with Curtis Michelson, JediOnTheFly uses signals detected in real time to develop structured foresight and hands-on strategy games. We help leadership teams recognise emerging changes before they become widely known. The studio uses the same approach I bring to my advisory work: connecting ideas and looking for patterns.

A studio for a more intelligent tomorrow
Understanding systems through the relationships within them.
Social Fabrics Research Lab studies societal problems through network science. I contribute to SynthONA by building synthetic organisational networks and reproducible scenarios for testing organisational network analysis (ONA) methods. This work makes it possible to compare methods under known conditions without using sensitive organisational data.
