How we work

Ways to work with me as a business transformation advisor

  • One-off diagnostic explorations
    • insights, reflection, clarity
    • recalibration
    • next steps
  • Short strategic sprints
    • 1 to 3 engagements to
      • deepen grounding
      • shift direction
      • catalyse something new
  • Embedded strategic partner
    • I stay close, go deeper, supporting you over time
  • Facilitator and co-designer
    • workshops
    • systems interventions
    • community processes

This isn’t “business” as conventionally defined. It’s people at the centre—you, your team, your clients, your unique ecosystem.

It’s the intentions and beliefs you hold, the ways of working you shape, the systems and tools you use. It’s how you measure yourself. It’s the macro systems you choose to influence, and the zeitgeist you’re operating in.

Formats

45 minute consult: A recalibration breather
• Breathe: table what’s going on
• Calibrate: map uncertainties and clarify opportunities
• Reset: identify next actions or supports

1.5 hour deeper dive
• Separate the threads
• Map the options
• Frame the decisions
• Leave with a clear, realistic action roadmap

All sessions can be online, or face-to-face (most likely in Darwin). All are flexible or customisable. All are documented. You leave with something solid.

What I draw on

I draw on tools, thinkers, and frameworks that help people make sense of complexity, reset and reflect, shift direction, and act with clarity. These aren’t applied mechanically; they’re used in context, and with care.

  • Strategic tools for designing, testing, and reshaping ideas
    Design Thinking, Lean Stack, Doblin’s Framework for 10 Types of Innovation, Slidebean, Stanford d.school
  • Ways of navigating change, emergence, and movement
    ADKAR, Presencing (Theory U), Disciplined Entrepreneurship, Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS)
  • Approaches to systems, ecology, and living complexity
    Donella Meadows, Peter Senge, Fritjof Capra
  • Insights into how people, teams, and real work function
    Jurgen Appelo, PrimeGenesis, Skunkworks practices

Always used with rigour, discipline, and care, towards impact, well-being, and personal agency. And successful business.

What people say

  • “Jude got to the key factors quickly—saved me time and money.”
  • “There’s deep trust. I bring my half-formed ideas and Jude helps me find the thread.”
  • “Strategy and soul, in the same session.”
  • “It’s not transactional. It’s transformation.”

People say the work is fast, grounded, empowering, and deeply human.
That’s the point.

What’s often unspoken, but shows up in the room, is this:

“I didn’t realise how much I needed this conversation.”
“It gave language to what I’ve been circling around for months.”
“I felt seen, steadied, and activated.”

Whether someone’s leading a business, building something new, or facing pressures and uncertainty, this work creates space for what matters, sharpens what’s next, and help decisions land with clarity and momentum.
