Kat Mather
Collaboration Architect
Hi! I'm Kat
I'm passionate about helping teams to harness their combined skills and experience to solve strategy, innovation, organization and culture challenges.
I've helped leadership teams tackle complex business challenges - from CAPEX optimisation and process alignment to supply chain improvements and digital transformation. I've facilitated collaboration at senior levels, led the implementation of new systems and supported post-merger culture building.
Results with impact

"Kat's design thinking helped us solve the right problems—saving time, money, and frustration. Her facilitation created true buy-in during a complex merger, accelerating alignment and driving real change."
Shift from "telling" to co-creating understanding
Change initiatives are more successful when the people affected by the change are actively involved in designing and taking ownership of it.
