Uncertainty is not a void to fear but a frontier to explore. Collective Leadership in Uncertain Times brings together two world‑class leaders to help us seize its generative energy.

Dr Vaughn Tan, author of The  Uncertainty  Mindset and SA Water visiting Research Fellow, shows how treating not‑knowing as a design material builds the muscle we need to innovate at the speed of change. 

Narrative strategist and BHP visiting Research Fellow Lina  Srivastava reveals how inclusive stories and community‑led action shift power, align diverse talents and turn bold visions into reality. 

In conversation with Professor Ariella  Helfgott, they will demonstrate how collaborative intelligence, rigorous systems thinking and lived‑experience narratives can transform today’s turbulence into positive futures in which everyone has agency.

Vaughn Tan, SA Water sponsored Visiting Research Fellow and Lina Srivastava, BHP sponsored Visiting Research Fellow are currently in residence at UniSA’s future-focused museum MOD.
