Tania is a systemic participatory designer, developmental evaluator, and supervisor; working with people and organisations to navigate complexity with different ways of thinking, being and doing for social innovation.

What matters

Making systemic changes in our world that take people’s lived experiences seriously. Privileging the voices of those that have been excluded from our socio-economic systems. Understanding and embracing the complexity of who we are as humans in our social systems. Designing social value, not just for it, with our ecology and social justice in mind.

Whakawhanaungatanga, the act of building relationships. Manaakitanga, the act of respect, generosity and care.

Services

  • Collaborative design that is informed by complex system dynamics, promotes participation and supports transformative change for more equitable and sustainable outcomes.

    Complexity and systems thinking, holistic approaches for navigating complexity for effective problem-solving and innovation.

  • A dynamic and adaptive approach to evaluation that supports ongoing learning and adaptation within innovations and interventions, facilitating real-time feedback and decision-making for effective development and implementation.

    This looks like weaving in and embedding evaluative thinking in to our day to day ways of working and being; rather than something we bolt on at the end.

  • Walking alongside people and teams. Enabling people and organisations through learning practices, enhancing skills, knowledge, and strengthening organisational capacities to drive performance, foster innovation and change.

    Supporting reflective practice and capability building of our ways of thinking, being and doing in systems change.
