"When you are lost and in despair, follow the duck - it points to new joys".

Meredith combines her formal education and experience in Strategic Foresight and Psychology to offer a unique perspective and approach to complex challenges – at the individual, group, organisational and societal levels. 

This approach brings together the Fox and the Duck. The Fox is intellectual, rational and logical. She is very important for understanding, making sense of, and responding to complex problems. The Duck is intuitive, emotional and insightful. She is equally as important as the Fox, but she is often overlooked. Whether the Fox likes it or not, whether she is aware of her or not, the Duck is always there. One without the other is not enough in complex and uncertain conditions.

Meredith helps people respond to complex challenges and to face the future through tuning into and using both the head-based skills and processes of the clever Fox and the heart-based skills and processes of the knowing Duck:

• Helping people tune into their own functioning and the way they approach their problems.
• Engaging people’s imagination, spirit and thinking in unfamiliar and different ways, to make sense of their problem.
• Inviting people to consider different ways of understanding and approaching their problem.
• Using evidence-based methodologies and tools to think about the future in useful ways.
• Helping people move through complexity when they don't know what the outcome will be.
• Supporting people to sit with the discomfort produced by uncertainty.
• Creating conditions for groups to work better together, developing stronger groups of people.
• Supporting groups to have the tricky conversations, that are different to their usual conversations, that are needed to take them forward.
• Assisting people to entertain other possibilities that they have not yet considered.
• Translating these things into effective and sustainable action – identifying small adaptive moves that help them learn.
