Josh has diverse experience across areas encompassing project management and systems-focused analysis and problem-solving gained through working as a mechanical engineer in the metallurgical industry over a period of ten years. This has been complemented more over the past four years by work with a range of community and third-sector organisations. Josh has worked extensively in cross-cultural settings, both in engineering and community-based roles, with a particular focus on India and China.

This background forms the foundation for Josh's more recent shift into the sustainability field as a consultant and educator. Josh brings this sustainability focus, framed by a deep strategic foresight perspective but with the practical grounding of an engineer, to Emergent Insights range of organisational development services. Josh also brings an understanding of the dynamics of organisational systems across cultures and nationalities, and an interest in the application of systems thinking and social construction to the development of organisations.
