Helping organisations and teams in the not-for-profit sector create transformational change for people, places and the planet. Ian is a strategy and systems change practitioner with over 20 years experience supporting organisations, communities and individuals to respond effectively to the challenges they face. He combines ideas from different disciplines and perspectives and develops original concepts that surface insights on long-standing and emerging issues, and he works collaboratively to test them out in practice. Ian believes that today's problems and challenges can’t be solved by the systems, processes and ways of organising that helped create them. Society (particularly in the West) has prioritised the individual over the collective, humankind over nature, efficiency over effectiveness and richer places over poorer ones. This has compounded structural and geographical inequality locally, nationally and globally. New ways of thinking about and acting in the world are required if we are to leave it fit for future generations. There is no choice but to do things differently and Ian’s work is in this experimental and system-challenging intersection of the outdated and the possible.Ian holds a Masters in Behavioural Science from the London School of Economics, a BSc in Human and Physical Geography and an Executive Diploma in Management.
