Simon Townsend – Creative Thinking Partner & Design Thinking Expert

With nearly two decades of experience in innovation management, I specialise in helping organisations create meaningful change that people embrace. I partner with businesses and individuals to unlock new ideas, tackle complex challenges, and drive innovation through a balance of creativity and strategic problem-solving.

I bring a structured, collaborative approach to every interaction, helping my clients find clarity, actionable solutions, and sustainable success. Whether facilitating interactive workshops or offering one-on-one consulting, I thrive on guiding people through creative processes that lead to meaningful breakthroughs.

Over the years, I’ve partnered with HR and Procurement teams, developed innovation strategies for leading multinational corporations, and enhanced user experiences to make them truly effective. My focus is on simplifying complex technologies and strategies, particularly in recruitment and People and Culture, to drive long-term success.

Based in Sydney, Australia, I am ready to be your creative thinking partner—helping you navigate change, drive innovation, and achieve your long-term business goals.
