Focus on what matters and makes a difference.
Walking alongside organisations and practitioners navigating complexity and systems change.
Making sense of what's going on, spotting the patterns that keep things stuck or move us forward, and building the conditions for change.
Developmental evaluation, learning partnerships, supervision and coaching, co-design facilitation grounded in context, being real and in relationship.
Services
Developmental Evaluation
Supporting organisations that want evaluation to inform and improve their mahi — not just report on it. Working across developmental evaluation, strategy, policy and programme evaluation. Grounded in context, relationship, and what actually matters and makes a difference.
Learning partnership
Walking alongside organisations embedding learning and reflection into practice. Strengthening capacity for understanding systems, innovation, and change—helping teams thrive and drive outcomes.
Supervision & coaching
A strengths-based, relational space to step back, make sense of what's hard, and grow your practice. Working one-on-one with evaluators, designers, facilitators, and change practitioners. Honest and direct, without blame. Because good practice needs room to breathe.
Co-design & complex facilitation
A participatory, equity-focused approach to co-designing strategy, policy, and programmes. Create the conditions for diverse voices — including those most often excluded — to shape decisions that affect them. Processes that disrupt old patterns and support transformative, equitable, and sustainable outcomes.
About
Over the last 15 years, Tania Anderson has worked alongside some of Aotearoa's most complex change initiatives — disability system transformation, early years wellbeing, mental health and peer support, homelessness, family violence prevention, and recently iwi intergenerational strategy. Across government agencies, community organisations, philanthropy, and cross-sector collaborations, her interest lies where change is most needed and least straightforward — brought in not to have the answers, but to think alongside people finding their way through.
Tania's background in psychology sparked a lifelong interest in people — what shapes how we think, feel, and act, and how systems either serve or fail us. Lived experience across some of these systems she works in drives a deep commitment to change that genuinely makes a difference for those most impacted. A Master of Design Innovation and practice in developmental evaluation, participatory design and research, and complexity thinking bring rigour and method to that commitment.
What people notice about Tania is that she sees patterns others don’t, holds critical conversations with empathy, and holds space for people to make sense of what feels messy so they can act. She is, as one supervisee put it, "a favourite systems change evaluation nerd" — and she wears that proudly.
She works with organisations and practitioners across evaluation, learning partnership, supervision, and co-design — always focused on building the conditions and capability for change from within. Because the greatest form of change is a system that can change itself.
Based in Ōtautahi, Christchurch. Working across Aotearoa, NZ.
