Initially I wanted to help organizations be more innovative in a methodical way.  Now, I want to help people working in organizations make an impact in their organizations, life and in the world.

To do that we pull back and look at what our training participants and our consulting clients want to do at a human level. From there we help them apply tools and mindset to work through their challenges from a human centered / design thinking perspective.

I agreed to be part of DECIDIUM because I love working with smart and passionate people who want to make an impact on the world.

Strategic. Problem Solver. Authentically Fearless.

Co-Founder & CEO | Fibre Design Inc. and Freelance Designer & Researcher

Sue Fairburn

I co-founded Fibre Design Inc. years ago to provide the flexibility to delve into projects locally and globally – and its my passport to collaborate.

Design as knowledge exchange is at the core of what I do – whether its design for extreme environments, design for communities, or exploring the reciprocities between living off planet, or on – design is how I work with others.

Joining DECIDIUM was a leap into a space of creativity and criticality – into a network of women who are capable, who have lived and who are undaunted by the big challenges that we know of, but need others to meet.

DECIDIUM is my tribe.  I like to surround myself with people and knowledge that makes me better at what I do, and where I can also help others be the best they can be.  Working together and accessing the right people to solve complex challenges just makes sense.

Mary Ann Welke Lesage

Despite all the tragedies of Covid-19, the crisis has also given the world the greatest of gifts.  The gift of the great pause.  The space to stop everything and re-evaluate how we live and what is most important.  I started S-Curve during the Covid-10 crisis to help build a more inclusive, caring, and sustainable society post Covid-19.

I joined DECIDIUM because I have decided to disrupt.  I believe that social innovation and disruption through design, empathy, and system level interventions is the way forward for our society to thrive, together.

Founder | Niedzielski Consulting

Oksana Kachur Niedzielski

What people see and feel is constantly changing around them.  It can be hard to process and even harder to leverage.  Our current situation worldwide can be crippling or can be seen as the necessary push to get organized and to think about what future we want to build for ourselves.

I like to ride waves of change and use emerging questions to push my own thinking.  I layer on lenses I have come to rely on like human centered design, systems thinking & foresight to tell compelling stories for what’s next.

I like disruption, but value bridging as a philosophy and approach to my work.

I agreed to be part of DECIDIUM Network because I want my views to be challenged, because I want to be part of something bigger than myself and because I realize the time to work differently is now.

Open. Strategic Design.  Deep Research. Service Orientation. Bridging & Collaboration.  Impact.
