MARTIN GRANT (NZ)

DIRECTOR, THINKPLACE

Martin sees a future where commercial and social organisations use their scarce resources wisely; a future where innovation efforts are de-risked by decisions that are truly human centric and system realistic.  With more than 30 years’ experience in the human centred design across a multitude of systems, Martin has deep expertise and experience in scaled systemic change.

Martin’s recent work includes bringing a system-based approach to the transformation of the building and construction industry, helping deploy central government funding into the fresh water catchment revitalisation system and has just started work on a transition to productive and sustainable for New Zealand’s primary sector.

Martin has a degree in business management. He is trained in the Cynefin model of systems. Martin attributes his success to being a pragmatic life-long learner and explorer in the areas of innovation, human centred design and systems thinking.

MASTERCLASS: 'SYSTEM DESIGN: LEARN HOW TO ACHIEVE SCALED CHANGE IN COMPLEX HUMAN SYSTEMS' (2019)

In this two-day Masterclass you’ll be introduced to joining human centred design and complex systems thinking together to be more effective when working in organisations or whole public service systems – anywhere where multiple agents (humans) form around a shared purpose and goals.

We acknowledge the Woiwurrung and Boonwurrung people of the Kulin nation as the traditional owners of the lands on which our events are held, as well as traditional owners of lands on which we work across the region. We recognise that sovereignty over these lands and waters has never been ceded, and pay our respects to Elders past, present and future.
