My work is about enabling and catalysing transformative change in government and public service in Scotland - including supporting others who are pioneering ways to do this.I am particularly drawn to opening and sustaining spaces for inquiry at personal, group and systemic levels - and learning about the difference this can make. I do this as an offer within wider movements creating more ecologically, economically and socially sustainable communities, regions and nations.
