TTDG has been through several configurations; first as three partners, then two with staff, now just myself with colleagues I team up with. Amongst these ?.

Bob Dick, Interchange

Bob has a national reputation as a consultant in community and organisational change, based on 30 years experience across organisations and communities across Australia. He recently retired from a long stint teaching at Queensland University. I worked with Bob on a team development programme, and we?re part of a peer group that meets three times a year.

Bob?s consultancy work includes effective teamwork, conflict resolution, consultancy skills, strategic planning, program evaluation and community consultation. Almost all his work uses an action research approach. Bob has substantial practitioner skills in community and organisational change, including the design of processes for data collection and interpretation, evaluation, skills development, group planning and decision-making, and participative change. He understands the theory and practice of action research, evaluation, and community and organisational change, and is a major contributor in the literature in these fields.

Jacqueline Gothe, Senior Lecturer, Visual Communication, Faculty of Design, Architecture & Building, University of Technology Sydney

Jacqueline combines practical commercial experience in communication design and a deep understanding of the principles of human communication. She ran her own graphic design consultancy 1977-92, specialising in corporate communication, and joined UTS in 1988. She was Head of School, 1994-1997, but her preference, alongside her teaching work, is research and consultancy.

Jacqui and I have been friends for a long time and colleagues for five years. We developed the communications strategy for the Corangamite Catchment Management Authority and published their Regional Catchment Strategy as a website and document. More recently, we built a website on community engagement, and Jacqui is developing a multi-disciplinary team to take on research issues in communications in the natural resource management field.

Ian Shrives

Ian runs a consultancy firm designing and implementing culture change projects. He is part of my peer group, where we have given each other provocation and guidance for 14 years. He?s a masterful facilitator and an acute diagnostician on organisational culture. He delivers on the rhetoric of cultural change, which is saying something.
