About Foment Collective
Founded by Scott Hearne in 2019, Foment Collective is a group of like-minded yet diverse people, inspired to stimulate and arouse discussion and thought, to support and encourage change, and to partner to deliver the best outcomes for people and our planet.
Foment People
Foment Collective is here to identify and knit the relevant skills together to support your organisational, project or team change to ensure that true transformation is achieved.
Many events, activities and projects not only impact the people for which they are intended to benefit, but also those who are neighbours to the change whether that be physical or through operational impacts. The people we bring together, are experts in seeing the whole change, all those impacts, and designing solutions that support it.
Foment Places
Whether it be a workplace, building, community or broader strategy, Foment Collective will assist you in understanding the people's needs of the place being created.
We do this by supporting the strategic and design teams, acting as an independent champion for the people who will be influenced by the place long after the project has been completed to create or transform the place into something that will be sustainable and used for its purpose.
Foment Projects
While it is common to see project delivery as a system and process-based methodology, at Foment Collective we believe the people, not the systems will determine the success of any project.
We can assist projects from early conceptual planning, to business case development, design, procurement, delivery and post-occupancy.
We support the client, project team and contractors to understand the people's needs within the project delivery and guide and mentor to successful outcomes. This may include establishing systems, frameworks and governance to support the people to success.
Foment Partnerships
At Foment Collective we are passionate about supporting and inciting change for good.
Whether this change is organisational in nature to meet future needs or industry change to address the current and future skills, materials and methodologies, we will partner with you for success.
As our communities, cities, nation and world changes, partnerships are required to benefit people, organisations, industries within them to drive this change. We want to be a part of this.
Foment Planet
We are passionate about our planet and the role we can play.
Highlighting the need to think collectively and act collaboratively to redress the impact we have had on our plant, Foment Collective seeks to learn, coach, teach, innovate to be good Ancestors, to enable change for the benefit of the planet.
Foment Pedagogy
Lifelong Learning and enabling places, spaces and mindset to support wholesome education.
Whether it be supporting teams transition to new and emerging pedagogy, guiding and mentoring current and future leaders to be and bring out the best in their teams, or to guide and interpret you though the physical design and delivery of education facilities, Foment Collective is here to support your journey.
