Claudius van Wyk

With a career as executive coach and consultant to major organisations in the pharmaceutical, construction and engineering, and financial services industries, I have offered strategic transformational facilitation for over 25 years. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/celebrating-quarter-century-transformation-strategies-van-wyk/ I apply complexity-science enabled insights to strategic management and leadership focused on organisational wellness and sustainability. My expertise is in promoting engagement and resilience in a dynamic business world. A current client is BMW South Africa. I hold post-graduate degrees in applied business ethics and organisational behaviour and was awarded a Ph.D. by the Indian Board of Alternative Medicine for my research into a transformed epistemology of holistic science to wellness. I was privileged to manage the ‘Gondwana Alive’ initiative in the 2002 Johannesburg World Summit of Sustainable Development. I participated in a research project for United Nations Environmental Program with the London School of Economics Complexity Research Group. Articles have been published in journals such as Greenbuild, Biophile, and the Holistic Science Journal, and my paper on complexity and organisational change management was published in the book, “Moving Forward with Complexity”. I have presented papers on applied complexity theory in the United Kingdom, South Africa and Brazil. I have occasionally lectured MA economics students Schumacher College in Devon on complexity science approaches, where I also developed a short-course, ‘Holism and Leadership - Transforming Organisational Praxis’. I addressed conferences on economics and governance at Kingston University, London, and the University of Pretoria. I serves as external marker for Ashridge/Hult Business School in their post-graduate Master’s in Management program. I am a member of the Synthesis Complexity Research think-tank. I live with my wife, Michelle, in Devon, United Kingdom.
