Our team are leading experts in organisational transformation and the 4Cs.
We’ve worked with 30+ organisations to create meaningful change, and authored dozens of articles and papers. Our program is informed by over two decades’ experience in education and professional learning.
Creativity, Collaboration, Communication and Critical Reflection are terms commonly used as cornerstones of organisational culture. But they are often used as ‘aerosol’ terms - sprayed around a lot and difficult to grasp, let alone enact in any real or measurable way.
Through engaging and practical learning processes, 4C Organisations delivers professional learning that makes sense of these four Cs as key capabilities required to lead and as processes that can be taught and understood through our unique ‘coherence makers’.
The work of 4C Organisations is grounded in the research of Dr Miranda Jefferson and Professor Michael Anderson (co-director of the CREATE Centre at the University of Sydney) and facilitated by a team with over twenty years experience working in education, health, leadership, early learning and corporate sectors. It continues to be informed by our extensive professional learning and development work in Australia and beyond.
As experts in big and small change, we know how successful learning and reflective practice work together to make positive transformation happen.
