Our founders are both alumni of the Harvard Kennedy School and bring innovative, cutting edge leadership practice to the work that we do.

We know that "change is the only constant" and we also believe that change within organisations can feel relentless and unsettling to identity, culture and purpose. At Ironbark Collective we support Government, corporate and community organisations to build cultures that are adaptive, agile and innovative; in effect becoming 'change positive' ecosystems. We know that effective organisations value both the adaptive and technical aspects of change and we are there to support them.
