Wendy Elford / Now to Next Pty Ltd

• Experience / Service Designer and Communications Strategist

  • Oct 2002 - Present

  Using a combination of professional practice, design thinking, text analytics and research I partner with decision makers to make sense of the current and emerging context of their project work. I support realtime communication and co-creation in the design of systems with many levels and many interacting and evolving parts to make sure that these 'hang together' to meet the needs of humans in the long term. I bring a performance edge to busy executives as they work to improve their businesses, careers and personal work systems over time. The focus is on helping clients quickly make sense of complex, changing situations to set up for decisions that support productive and effective systems of work. Areas of application include innovation and startups, community development, legal cases, curriculum design in education, communication strategy in project delivery, risk management and workforce planning in both the public and private sectors.
