What Our Clients Say

Wendy Anderson
SVP, Professional Services ANZ, SalesForce
Lisa I wanted to thank you for the outstanding coaching/mentoring support you provided, and your change management team provided, during our recent project. Anyone looking to make transformational change in their business should look no further!

Gary Adler
Chief Digital Officer, Minter Ellison Lawyers
Upon recommendation, Lisa came in at short notice as our Interim Head of PMO. Within just a few short days, Lisa very impressively had reviewed and fully understood the current status and challenges, built key networks and was ready to hit the ground running. Lisa’s deep experience in PMO structures and program management shone through immediately, ensuring that in the relatively short time Lisa was with us, the PMO ran smoothly and was left in a solid, strong shape to continue to serve as a critical project hub to our firm.

Paul Manks
General Manager, CSR
Lisa has supported several of our businesses at CSR to take on a number of change management projects over several years – the critical contribution from Lisa has been supporting us to actually execute our plans and deliver an outcome that delivers measurable benefits to our business, including sales performance and improved cultural outcomes. I would highly recommend Lisa if you are keen to move from idea to delivery – her style is very collaborative and respectful which I believe is a key to her success and the value she brings to every project she takes on.

Brenda Cleaver
Former COO, TAFE NSI, Australia
Lisa worked on the organisational business model and co-designed the implementation plan with the executive team at the Northern Sydney Institute to have the new business model/structure endorsed. Her approach to implementation and management of risk was key to ensuring the success of the program. Highly recommended.

Deborah Mason
SVP, PageUp
We engaged Lisa to help work with us on stress testing some ideas around our organizational design/structure. Her ability to provide thought-provoking insights and challenge our thinking was extremely valuable and highly appreciated. I would be very happy to work with Lisa again on future projects.

Stella Petrou Concha
CEO, REO Group, Australia
I’ve known Lisa for over 10 years. During this time she has been a wise sage and a clever strategist that has on many occasions been an exceptional sounding board for me as an entrepreneur and CEO. Highly recommend.

Hannah Berson
Design Thinking Specialist, SALT Collabatory, Seattle USA
Lisa is excellent at bringing people together to learn new skills and share expertise in friendly online environments.

About the Founder of the FutureBuilders Academy, Lisa Carlin
(And why is she credible to help you?)
Hi, I’m Lisa Carlin. As a scaleup mentor, I work with ambitious digital leaders to turbo-charge their business, cultural and digital transformation.
Those working with me have an independent sounding board and expert advice so they have absolute confidence they will achieve their goal.
The average failure rate for transformation is around 70% according to McKinsey research. In contrast, I have designed and delivered around 50 transformation programs, with just a 4% failure rate. Both failed projects were abruptly terminated due to a CEO / responsible executive being replaced.
When stakes are high, each decision counts. You won’t get a second chance.
My early career was with Accenture in South Africa and McKinsey in the USA. I’ve since worked with global multinationals, Australian corporates, government and NFP’s through to startups and VC funded businesses. I’m Co-Founder and Director of FutureBuilders Group which is a network of Organizational Development specialists.
I’ve been running a vibrant mastermind community since 2020. Over my career, I have built many stakeholder communities inside organizations to drive transformation with powerful momentum. I also volunteer as the Chair of an Education NFP, and I’m focused on building a different kind of community – volunteers fundraising for disadvantaged students in shanty towns of Africa. Education is a major enabler of change.
I have now distilled and documented the techniques and tools that I am confident provide exceptional momentum and precision to a transformation. I look forward to welcoming you to the FutureBuilders Academy.
Lisa Carlin
No more worrying about not being heard. No more guessing which is the right approach. No more wasting time trying to satisfy every single stakeholder. No more pushing against your culture. No more inertia. No more frustration.
There is nothing worse than regret.
I know how hard change is. I’ve delivered in the trenches for over 25 years.
I’ve made made mistakes: not having the confidence to speak up to the CEO when I could see the executive sponsor was not up to the job; not taking time to get to know a key stakeholder; not believing in myself enough. And feeling drained by resistance and negativity.
Then I developed the FutureBuilders Transformation FrameworkTM. It moves the approach from a highly resistant, exhausting “PUSH” effort, to a powerful “PULL” effect that delivers success, ROI and innovation.
