MEET THE MIND BEHIND COLLABWISE

Ready to Enable Change?

Hi, I’m Michelle. I thrive on change and helping others do the same.
I’m here to help make change easier and turn it into your biggest competitive advantage.

GET IN TOUCH

My 25 years of experience in change, leadership and capability has seen me work alongside some of the most iconic brands in digital, banking, media, resources, airlines and education – with deep hands-on experience across change strategy, delivery and capability as both an independent consultant and leader of high performing teams. I’m an accredited change, project and agile practitioner and specialist in the neuroscience of change, leadership, learning and performance. .

My change passport is full, from both a global and industry perspective. From leading data-driven change during one of the world’s largest core banking modernisations. Launching world firsts in AI for Digital Banking. Building and leading high-performing enterprise change teams that help people embrace contemporary ways of working. Facilitating change for complex org. redesigns, M&As and behavioural change, to navigating the multifaceted world of risk, including the often overlooked realm of psychosocial.

I’m passionate about the details that enable change to stick and scale, for both continual change environments and transformations. Coaching teams for agility, fostering cultures of learning and designing human-centred change experiences that put your people and your goals first. These are the building blocks of successful and on-going change enablement.

News: I’ve recently been accredited as a Master Neuroplastician ® (Mnpn), with the Institute of Organisational Neuroscience, recognising my advanced level of expertise and application in the Neuroscience of Change.

THINK OF ME AS A CHANGE TRANSLATOR

Bridging the gap between contemporary thinking & pragmatic delivery

And here’s what sets me apart….
I’m obsessed with the human element, as well as enabling organisations and leaders to be nimble, resilient and sustainable. This is why I started Collabwise, a platform for partnership in effective change enablement and value realisation.

Putting the HUMAN well and truly into Human-Centric Change, by leveraging multi-disciplines of applied organisational neuroscience, behavioural science for change, systems thinking, and human-centric design. I design change with your people in mind, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of tomorrow.
