Meredith has a leadership role within Thought Partners, a dynamic consulting company with a permanent team of employees. Our goal is to maintain the high professional standards we're known for and continue to grow and support our talented consultants. We value our long term clients, seek interesting and challenging work, and constantly strive to apply ‘next way' thinking and tools to our consulting assignments.
Meredith uses systems thinking and learning organisation tools in her consulting and offers new ways to learn and lead in challenging times. As a consultant and facilitator, she enjoys the variety and challenge of working on a wide range of projects and in varying roles. Recent roles have included contracting to develop leadership capability, partnering for a range of change initiatives and facilitation of an on-going programme for women to ensure better representation at senior levels. Meredith is also actively involved in our organisation development (OD) activities including the annual OD Forum.
Meredith is lively and creative, and has a constant supply of new ideas. Her clients value the long-term trusting relationship they have, and often find themselves seeing or thinking about their work in new ways. Meredith is good at translating complex ideas into collaborative processes and achievable actions. She has had a long association with the learning organisation and systems thinking community based in Boston, and is a member of the Society for Organisation Learning (SoL). In late 2010 Meredith attended two conferences in Boston USA - one on NeuroLeadership, along with the Pegasus systems thinking conference.
She has been a consultant for 15 years, and was previously a manager at local and national levels within the public service. Meredith has been on the Board of Advisers for AIESEC NZ for nearly 10 years. AIESEC is an international student organisation which partners with business to provide young professionals with business internships both here and overseas. Working with energetic, bright young people keeps Meredith engaged, and an active member of the AIESEC Board of Advisors.
