Building calm, sustainable approaches to knowledge work
As universities and knowledge-based organizations navigate digital transformation and increasing complexity, finding sustainable approaches to academic work has never been more crucial. My consulting practice helps institutions create the headspace needed for meaningful, high-value work while successfully integrating digital innovation.
What I offer
Academic workflow redesign. I help institutions develop frameworks for academic productivity that respect human limitations while enhancing output quality. By implementing principles of calm productivity, your team can achieve more meaningful work without the burnout.
Digital transformation strategy. Navigate the shift to digital processes, tools, and environments with approaches that enhance rather than disrupt academic work. I specialise in implementations that support your core mission while introducing necessary innovation.
Generative AI integration. Develop practical, ethical approaches to AI grounded in real-world implementation. I build institutional capacity through policy development, customised training programs, and carefully designed pilot initiatives that align with your values.
Knowledge ecosystem design. Transform your online content, communications, and learning environments into vibrant spaces where scholarly communities thrive. My approach combines content strategy with emergent scholarship principles to foster genuine intellectual engagement.
My approach
Drawing on principles of emergent scholarship and complex adaptive systems, I help teams move beyond reactive, pressure-driven digital transformation toward intentional, sustainable knowledge work.
My work is grounded in the understanding that successful digital integration and knowledge creation thrive at the intersection of:
- Connection between people, ideas, and technologies
- Adaptation to changing digital environments
- Ecological approaches that respect institutional culture and human needs
Who I work with
Universities, research centres, academic publishers, and educational foundations seeking thoughtful approaches to digital transformation and modern knowledge work challenges. Past collaborations have helped institutions:
- Redesign academic workflows to reduce digital overwhelm while increasing meaningful output
- Develop sustainable approaches to technology integration, including generative AI
- Create digital environments that foster genuine scholarly community
- Transform digital content strategies to better serve organisational goals
