Nick Osborne

 

I’m an entrepreneur in the business of shifting paradigms. I catalyse the transition to a way of thinking and living which addresses, rather than contributes to, today’s challenges. My work upgrades the way we learn, collaborate and run our organisations to enable better fit for the volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous conditions of the 21st century. Some of the initiatives I am involved in are Consicious Collaboration, Evolving Organisation, and Learning-Edge.
