As TACSI’s Network Practice Lead, lauren works alongside impact networks: groups of people working across communities, governments, and organisations who nurture their interdependence over time to create meaningful, long-term change.
With a background in design anthropology, co-design and participatory methods, lauren works in complexity and creating the conditions for shared leadership, imagination, emergence and interdependence to thrive, always committed to decolonising design and research and foregrounding First Nations leadership and innovation in practice.
Over the years at TACSI, lauren has led network practice across diverse areas including place-based change, death and dying, First Nations climate resilience, chronic conditions, housing, and disaster resilience.
You can read more about some of these networks here:
- Yawa Network
- Good Death Impact Network (GDIN)
- Home and Housing Network
- Mt Druitt Community Network of Networks
They’ve co-authored TACSI’s Network Paper, sharing insights and tools for others exploring networked ways of working.
One of lauren’s favourite things about TACSI is the team: a diverse team woven together by purpose, kindness, empathy, and laughter. Outside of work, you’ll often find them following their neurodivergent interests through weaving, dancing, and camping.
Interested in supporting Networks? We’re seeking funders committed to cross-sector collaboration to support the take-up of an approach that helps unlock change across systems that would otherwise stay stuck. See our Dream Initiatives pages for more.
