At Umagine we strive to promote knowledge sharing and thought leadership. Our insights aim to stimulate thinking, promote ideas, create partnerships, and ultimately bring about change.

Umagine insights can shed light on the challenges, policies, programs, and issues affecting vulnerable people in Australia.

Our insights should cause us to stop, adjust our thinking, and perhaps take the next step towards meaningful change.

The social impact of AI

Is there a role for AI in support of people who are most vulnerable? It's too easy to go straight to Chat GPT to write anything, including this blog. We avoided this temptation, but it highlights the increasing presence of AI in our world and the immense technology shift that is on foot.

NGO Strategy & Funding Solutions

Strategy, operational support, and program funding for community NGO. 

National transition for large NGO

Transition of a national program for a major NGO supporting people with disabilities.  

Indigenous Land Use Strategy

Implementation of Indigenous Land Use Strategy for Commonwealth Government. 

Michael provided exceptional leadership in our transition to a new Commonwealth Government contract with supported employment for over 150 people with a disability across six states/territories. Our challenge was to meet an extremely compressed timeframe for operational readiness. Without Michael's expertise we would not have met this challenge. The focus of this program remained committed to people with a disability at all times through thinking, decision-making, and change processes. Our leaders and teams were actively engaged, respected, and their expertise valued. The entire transition was skillfully managed to achieve full operational readiness, within a challenging timeframe, and exceeded our expectations.
