Who We Are
Tirrania Suhood
Founder and Director
Network catalyst for
systemic change
Tirrania is a catalyst and complexity and systems thinker. Her commitment is to long-term systemic change and her focus is on cultural change, new economy and regenerating and sustainable environments. She recognises that significant transformation can ripple from anywhere. She values distributed, bottom-up and top down processes.
​
She is strategic in her approach. She pays attention to the context of a problem and addresses it holistically. With this in mind she also is a natural connector and relationship-builder. She brings people and organisations together to collaborate for change.
For many years Tirrania was the executive officer of a locally-based and big-picture focused community organisation. Her vision, strategic thinking and relationship-building capabilities support strategy and action across multiple levels. She has extensive experience engaging local, state, national and global stakeholders to work together and implement new ways forward. She is passionate about supporting local and small organisations, strengthening ecosystems around them, and network approaches for local and global change.
​
Tirrania holds a Masters in Community Management and was recognised as one of Australia top 1000 thinkers when selected in 2008 to join the Australian Government's 2020 Summit.
