Hi, I'm Alix.
Hi, I'm Alix.
Independent advisor and complexity navigator.
You're the expert in your field. I'm the expert in complexity. Together we untangle what's actually going on, find a clear path forward, and build your capability to handle it yourselves next time. Then I get out of the way.
I've been doing this for twenty-ish years, across government, research, policy and everything in between. Big, hard, complicated things. We'll crack it, I promise.
What I do
What I do
You know the problems that make you feel a bit ee-yerghhhh just thinking about them? The ones where you don't know where to start, the stakes are high, and everyone's quietly freaking out a little bit?
I specialise in those.
Most engagements start with a conversation to work out what's really going on, what you've already tried, and whether I can help. From there, I work in short to medium term bursts: a focused deep dive, a facilitated process, or a longer strategic partnership. Always with a clear purpose, always building your capacity rather than creating dependency on me.
If you've been wondering whether to reach out, please do. Most of the time, it's not about more information, it's about making sense of what's already there.
Book a free 30 minute chat and let's find out.
The Deep Dive
When there's too much info, no clear line, or you're starting from a blank page.
I go in, synthesise, and come out with clarity on what matters, what doesn't, and what decisions are actually in front of you.
The Untangler
When you're stuck in different versions of the same problem.
I come in as an independent set of eyes, find what's actually going on, and help you see it. Then we figure out what to do about it.
The Strategist
When you're ready to build - not just plan, but choose a direction.
I work alongside leaders who want to build genuine organisational resilience and ambition. Often as much coaching as strategy.
The Room
When a group needs to make real progress together, not just talk.
I design and hold spaces where people think clearly, surface what they already know, and leave aligned and ready to move.
