Anne is the originator of the Adaptive Workframe, a category-defining approach to organisational design and workforce transitions in the age of AI. Her work brings together Complex Adaptive Systems and Self-Determination Theory to create a living-systems model for the new world of work. Instead of command-and-control hierarchies, the Adaptive Workframe draws on the metaphor of murmuration: self-organisation, feedback loops, emergence, and adaptation.This model helps organisations decide what stays human, what is augmented, and what is automated, while sustaining productivity, workforce participation, and individual wellbeing.

Building on a four-decade career at the frontier of human capital innovation, Anne has consistently anticipated shifts in how people work, learn, and adapt. As founder of SydneyTalent and PlanDo, and through numerous CEO and C-suite roles across sectors including technology, defence, telecommunications, retail, higher education, and professional services, she has led the design of systems that enable individual agency and organisational adaptability in complex environments. Her applied practice has informed a generation of leaders navigating transformation in both public and private sectors.

In 2024, Anne graduated with First Class Honours in Psychology, deepening her inquiry into motivation and agency in complex systems. In early 2025, she joined the Entrepreneurial PhD program at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), where her research provides empirical evidence for how AI can support strategic workforce transitions at individual and enterprise levels.
