Everyone is talking about sustainability but what about the sustainability of our organisations and their people?

Start here
By 2013, Steve Glaveski had spent almost a decade working for large professional services firms and investment banks. He was, above all, a frustrated intrapreneur, with his ideas stifled by bureaucracy and the status quo at big firms. He raised funding to pursue his own web startup and left the world of the big corporates...for a while.
Sean Qian had started Collins Collective, a tech startup hub that he had established in Melbourne’s CBD. Sean was a science buff and ran conferences on the topic, having brought the likes of Neil deGrasse Tyson on his first appearance in Australia. It was at Collins Collective that Sean and Steve first met.
Fast forward two years. Both Steve and Sean were seeking to work on something bigger, something more impactful and meaningful.
Armed with deep experience in both the corporate and startup world, the pair decided to join forces to help frustrated intrapreneurs, just like Steve was, unlock their potential to create more impact and help large organisations navigate the fast-paced, volatile and uncertain realities of today’s business landscape.
What started out as a simple experiment on Meetup - “will people sign up to a ‘lean startup for corporates’ class?” - slowly evolved into Collective Campus, a hub, school and consultancy that works with large organisations to help them adopt the mindsets, methods and tools required to survive these new realities.
Today, we help large organisations to discover, not just deliver, to explore, not just execute, and we’ve worked with the likes of Clifford Chance, BNP Paribas, Microsoft, Village Digital, Asahi, MetLife, Telstra, King & Wood Mallesons, National Australia Bank, Singapore Pools, Ascendas Singbridge and numerous others across Melbourne, Sydney, Singapore, Auckland, Hong Kong, London, New York, Frankfurt and Amsterdam.
We are a team of entrepreneurs, designers, builders, thinkers, rebels, writers, philosophers and more.
We jump out of bed each morning to create impact to work on something bigger than ourselves.
To unlock people’s latent potential to create impact for humanity and lead more fulfilling lives.
We believe in the power of experimentation, in challenging the status quo, in optimising and continuously improving - every day - in order drive long-term sustainable growth and impact.
We don’t make excuses. We don’t pass the blame to external people, factors or events. We take extreme ownership for our work. We take responsibility for all outcomes, put the customer first and always look for ways to solve problems.
River cuts through rock not through power but through persistence. We drive relentlessly towards delivering on our mission, seeing obstacles in our way as necessary to help us learn, grow, build character, differentiate ourselves and move us forward.
Purpose is the world’s greatest performance enhancer. As such, we focus on the work that matters - work that unlocks people’s potential so that they can create more impact for humanity.
We demonstrate compassion, fairness and respect by standing in each other’s and our customer’s shoes before making and acting on decisions.
We believe that a team of committed, cross-functional people with a growth mindset, an intense customer-centric focus and a culture of rapid experimentation has no limits on what it can achieve.
We demonstrate emotional awareness and intelligence in all of our interactions and believe that talents and abilities can be developed through effort, intentional learning and persistence. We don’t let ego get in the way of meaningful progress.
We show gratitude for the freedom we’re fortunate enough to have to practice these values, unlike many less fortunate people around the world. We work towards giving more people these opportunities and always take pause to celebrate both our and our clients’ wins.
We engage in thoughtful disagreement and exchange ideas without creating lasting conflict, even when ideas are controversial, based on a guiding philosophy of ‘strong opinions, weakly held’. We provide constructive feedback to each other and our clients empathically so that we get better as individuals, as a company and as our clients’ trusted partner.
