Over my career, I have navigated several transitions to facilitate change across various organisations and institutions. I have come to understand that a purely deliberate approach to strategy is inadequate when addressing complex issues that are ambiguous, non-linear, and always evolving.

As the 2023/24 chair of the Sustainable Development Goals National Stakeholder Forum, I facilitate holding the government accountable for achieving the SDGs. This experience has given me a nuanced understanding of Ireland’s policy landscape in the context of sustainable transition and the challenge of influencing whole-of-government policy alignment.

As an environmental scientist and farmer with additional qualifications and experience in business management, executive coaching, and finance, I possess a unique blend of technical expertise, an appreciation of real-world practicalities, strategic insight, and a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities associated with an economic and social transition. This combination enables me to articulate complex positions succinctly to facilitate meaningful engagement with diverse stakeholders.

I am a Nuffield Scholar and a member of the Institute of Directors.

VISION

Organisational Relationships as a Catalyst for Moving from the Age of Progress to the Age of Resilience

All the resources needed for a better future are here and available. We access those resources by acting authentically and in accordance with our true values and beliefs.

MISSION

To Increase the Learning Capability Inherent in Social Configurations

The ability to self-govern is the most potent form of system resilience because if a system can self-organise, it can survive almost anything. As we teeter on the brink of irreversible tipping points in our biosphere, society, and economy, we need more attuned governance that can simultaneously contribute to system-level development and preparedness for event-driven systemic change.

 Walker, there is no path. The Path is made by walking        – Antonio Machado, poet
