William J Varey - Executive Director

Biographical Profile:

Any field of expertise comes with a perspective built on experience.

Will Varey has spent his career observing the lifecycles of organizations. He has seen how capacity builds the potential for opportunity and how this builds further capacity in a natural cycle of growth and development.

Behind his lifelong observations in this area is a desire to see others achieve and by their efforts for our wider society as a whole to develop.

His original disciplines were in public international and commercial law. Working initially for the national regulator of government policy in mergers and acquisitions he saw how macro-movements in the economic environment determined organizational survival. As a private consultant in Indonesia working on SE Asian joint venture development projects he saw how all common enterprises require a blend of cultures, capital and capabilities to succeed. As a partner of professional advisory firms he led hundreds of organizations through barriers of complexity to the other side of simplicity. This has given him the diverse experience of seeing many organizations in many situations.

Becoming interested not simply in being able to, but in also knowing why, Will completed Masters research into organizational learning, behavioral psychology, business management, strategy formulation, systems complexity and integral practice. This led him to read the leading theorists in business economics, competitive strategy, human resource management, contemporary philosophy and sustainable development - and to begin the development of an integration of all of these fields.

Wisdom is defined as 'knowledge and experience together with the ability to apply them'. Being able to let go of one's own expert perspective, to develop and hold multiple perspectives, is what distinguishes the integral practitioner from the competent knowledge expert. It is where wisdom begins.

Will has developed a network of connections with many specialist practitioners, each having the ability to contribute new solutions to different management barriers. All are personal leaders in their specialist areas. Combining his expertise with specialist perspectives is what makes the difference in his work.

His main area of published research is in the stages of development and evolutionary emergence in human social systems. He has completed training with Don Beck and Chris Cowan into the work of Dr Clare Graves and with Ken Wilber's Integral Institute into the application of integral theory to the emerging field of integral sustainability. He manages the Forsyth Consulting Group operations and supports other commercial, academic and not-for profit organizations in their goals, both locally and internationally.
