A few organizations I’ve worked with

You don’t have to do it alone.
I can help carry the load.

Peop People are the most complex part of sociotechnical work.

But! When we’re dealing with difficult subject matter and a knot of possibility, we leave the people part to chance.

Working with me means you don’t have to juggle it all. I take the guesswork out of the people and the process.

You focus on driving the work forward towards outcomes.

Are you working on complex issues of technology and society?

Complexity can quickly become complication. We can help you embrace complexity and make it feel simple.

We combine sociotechnical expertise, facilitation super powers and high quality execution of, well, everything our team touches.

We put these skills to work for partners that have a big vision and capable teams and need that special sauce to move work forward.

Whether providing expert perspectives on technology and justice or tackling complex organizational challenges, Alix is an exciting and inspiring partner to work with.”

Want to deliver amazing things for your team or community? I can help.

Transformational convenings, sharp strategies for sociotechnical change, and supporting leaders to raise the bar on their style and skills—I help partners design and deliver amazing things for their teams and communities.

Maybe you work at a foundation. You want to design an amazing event that unlocks collaboration for specialists in your field. But you don’t want to waste their time with another blah blah talk shop.

Maybe you’re a leader looking to convene your team and take your strategy and working relationships to the next level. But you worry that the same old techniques will lead to the same old conversations.

Maybe you’re a manager in a technology company and want to design a cross-functional initiative that activates expertise in your organisation. But you aren’t sure how to do it without creating more overhead and meeting fatigue.

Maybe you’re none of those people.

If you are working in a complex sociotechnical topic or role and want an outstanding advisor to help you, I’m here. I am not looking for clients, I’m looking for co-conspirators. People who have big ideas, and need help making their ideas come alive. Real help to make real change.

Alix understands the psychology that motivates individuals, the bureaucracies that guide and weigh down institutions. These multiple perspectives make Alix a deft leader and collaborator whether one-on-one or working within an established institution."
