Team

Directors Dave Kaldor and Kim Shore each bring over a decade of experience delivering strategic and transformative projects for governments, organisations and communities locally and internationally – with a focus on climate transitions, community resilience, humanitarian aid, sustainable development and education.

Kim Shore

Kim is a systemic designer, researcher and educator working with partners to understand complex systems, design cultures of learning, and steward people towards preferred futures.

Kim brings diverse experience working across law and policy, public sector innovation, learning design and education, and business model design and strategy. Previous work includes leading systems innovation projects across energy and food systems; designing and facilitating learning programs for schools and organisations; and conducting legal practice and legal innovation for startups and community legal centres.

Key strengths include relating to a diverse range of people, synthesising and translating diverse knowledge types, facilitating teams through complexity, and balancing critical thinking with imagination. His practice is built on robust foundations of training, including a Bachelor of economics, Juris Doctor law degree, and Master of Design Futures.

Kim is also an Honorary Fellow at the Institute for Sustainable Futures; Director on a philanthropic foundation; and Learning Associate at the Woodleigh Institute.

David Kaldor

Dave is a systemic designer, social innovator and creative working with communities and organisations to imagine, experiment with and build more equitable and vibrant systems.

Dave brings significant experience working across sustainable development, humanitarian aid, and public sector innovation to design and deliver complex change projects – including strengthening urban climate transitions through direct democracy in Tasmania, innovating out of crisis with earthquake-affected communities in Nepal, and transforming education platforms with First Nations young people.

His approach blends systems thinking to make sense of complexity in the world, participatory process to facilitate powerful collaborations, and a creative production skillset and maker ethos to bring new experiments, programs, and ventures to life.

Dave bridges between systems and sectors, connecting the fast-paced energy of startups, the self-organising of grassroots initiatives and the stabilising forces of institutions. He is inspired by our capacity to come together, play, and create new possibilities for our collective futures.
