Excerpt

"My work seeks to support policy and management initiatives that are outcome focused - and build on participation, collaboration, social learning and adaptive co-management. I have more than 25 years management and communication experience across a range of sectors - encompassing organizational and sustainable development, agriculture and natural resource management. Over the past 20 years I have worked primarily as an action and systems researcher and evaluator to support multi-stakeholder and integrated initiatives in complex situations.

I am particularly interested in the development of planning, monitoring and evaluation tools that are outcome focussed, and contribute towards efforts that foster social learning, sustainable development and adaptive management. I specialize in working in and supporting multi-stakeholder and integrated approaches in complex settings. As an independent consultant and systems researcher I work to design and facilitate processes that contribute to these aims at a number of points in the wider management (or program or policy) process including:

  • Scoping and program design
  • Developing outcomes-based performance management
  • Planning, monitoring and evaluation (PM&E)
  • Designing and facilitation of integrated and multistakeholder processes
  • Providing mentoring and advice in the above areas"
