I had the humbling honour of leading the collective design & change management that made it possible. A critical failing situation in 2016 to a uni back on its feet & better, the success of equity students - we can now say it did what it was designed to do #DesignThinking @trilia

".. the pursuit of excellence doesn't have to be a selfish one" Onya @garyleecious
Thank you @ashbarty for reassuring me that the pursuit of excellence doesn't have to be a selfish one. Your constant acknowledgement of your team is inspiring. 'To be humble is not to think less of oneself, but to think of oneself less.' You're a legend. To my peeps, thank YOU!
