I am the CEO of the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations and the Managing Director of Tavistock Institut Germany. I have worked with organisations and community change agents in Europe and beyond, exploring how to work in the unknown, in conditions of high turbulence, uncertainty and ambiguity.
I lead our EU work, focusing on process and outcome evaluations of large, complex and innovative initiatives mostly in the fields of social inclusion, employment and human capital.
I currently lead the evaluation of the Horizon 2020 funded Designscapes project which seeks to accelerate the use of design thinking to solve complex problems in European cities and am a core team member of the RESILOC project (also funded by the Horizon 2020 programme) which investigates aspects of community resilience. I led a consortium of six European organisations funded by Erasmus+ – Social Seducement – designing and testing a serious online roleplay game to train disadvantaged people to become social entrepreneurs and the evaluation of TCBL – Textile and Clothing Business Lab, a change project seeking to improve the economic, ecological and social sustainability of the European textiles sector.

I am a PhD candidate researching the topic of misunderstandings in global teams. I continue to contribute to the understanding of Sociotechnical Systems in the digital world through studying the interface between technology, organisational culture and emotions in virtual settings. Recent work includes mapping digital inclusion interventions across Europe for the European Commission.

The work I do cuts across a range of areas of policy, with a particular interest in evaluations of programmes related to social inclusion, community cohesion and the prevention of violent extremism.
