Leigh Whittaker

Strategy Leader, Experience & Human-centred place design, 'Expedition Leader' | Planet-Centricity | Optimist + Futurist | Globe wanderer & seeker of light.

Experienced advisor, leader and designer with a focus on strategy and transformation in both public and private sectors. Proven history of visioning & shaping Experience Strategies and delivering impact. Passionate about transforming our complex systems, cities, environments, services and experiences to be more human and sustainable. Energised by leading teams and stakeholders through the process of understanding how things work, and how they could work.

Leigh is passionate about designing our preferred future and the transitions that will take us there. It's about having a way to manage massive change and having fun creatively shaping our future.

To create scaled impact, Leigh has specialised in the co-design of transitions and programs that improve how we work, live, and interact in our shared spaces or services. This might be a public service, a workplace, a campus, an airport, an innovation district, a smart city, or the organisations and services that call them home. This is more than service design - its systems-led design that seeks to bring together people, place, planet and platforms into a single story.

Leigh is also an accomplished service designer and experience strategist. Over 15 years he has built digital products, government policies, organisational transformations and innovation programs.

Put simply, Leigh leads programs and teams to reimagine and redesign places, systems and organisations - as well as their parts - to be more valuable, vibrant and sustainable.

Leigh provides clarity of action for decision-makers and pioneering organisations who are making choices about their future.

Leigh has more than 15 years of experience in the application of holistic consulting and creative methods. Exploring the application of foresight/futures exploration, co-design, anthropology, design thinking, systems thinking, placemaking and behavioural sciences along with pragmatic approaches such as business design, Agile, Lean Start-Up, organisational design and program delivery.
