participant

After a career in strategic planning where Josie developed a lifelong passion to work at the intersection of  people and the process of change, Josie became globally recognised as a pioneer of professional coaching in Australia.

An epiphany in 2003 resulted in her realisation that humanity may be on a pathway to devising its extinction. This led to doctoral research into the shaping of a sustainable and sustaining organisational culture - she entered the realms of complexity.  

Josie is now keen to help Regional Management Boards in Australia. This help centres upon bringing livings systems (or complexity) frameworks to the difficult challenge of achieving on the ground impact with the same resources.

Josie also co-founded the Climate Coaching Alliance in 2019 and was the guiding force behind its application of living systems principles in CCA’s structure and ways of working. In 2025 she was also recognised as one of 12 global pioneers of regenerative coaching.

AI and the Art of Management

AI brings huge potential for greater innovation and prosperity, and at the same time may cause radical instabilities in the way we organise our societies. No technological development is solely good, and becoming dependent on algorithms is bound to challenge what we think it means to be human. This was an opportunity to explore the everyday implications of AI in the workplace alongside hopes and fears.

A one-day introduction to the complexity sciences and their implications for the workplace with Snowmelt Consultancy and The Upfront Thinking Company. If we can’t predict and control, then what are we doing at work as we try to go on together? The complexity sciences offer a radical alternative to the tools and techniques of orthodox management.

Acknowledgement of Country
We meet from many places, each with its own deep histories of belonging and custodianship. In the spirit of reflexive practice, we acknowledge that the lands we occupy carry obligations we are still learning to understand. In Australia, this begins with recognising the Traditional Custodians of unceded Country and paying respect to Elders past, present and emerging.
