Our People

Michelle Lambert is an organisational capability builder who is passionate about all things to do with Change and Knowledge Sharing within and across organisations.  Taking a similar approach to leaders like Richard Branston, Michelle’s approach is a common sense style that comes from the premise that if you can get it right within the organisation then the impact on the customer becomes tangible.

Having both formal qualifications and over 20 years experience in change and knowledge management Michelle has a real passion about helping leaders and change agents in organisations find better ways to engage their people in their change management initiative.

Her experience includes working with organisations where they need connecting across cultural, geographic or structure/silo boundaries. Michelle’s works in the Organisational Change, Knowledge Sharing/collaboration  areas has lead her to see these areas as interdependent, each being fundamental to the success of the other.  Working in these areas, especially in one of her key roles; facilitating a cross industry Roundtable in Victoria for the past 6 years, it is critical that she stay up to date with where organisations can go with the latest approaches as well as approaches that have a proven track record.

Having begun her journey into the area of Social Media in 2005, Michelle recognised the potential of social media in further engaging the workforce and collaborating around change. She also recognises the need to address the issues of business requirements, governance and barriers to adoption that many organisations find themselves with. She has been at the pointy end of this field as it has grown exponentially ever since.  The work that the Change Management Toolbox has done around their innovative approach to integrating these approaches into the workplace is innovative and practical and a must for all enterprises in todays fast paced world.
