#39 Sharon Fraser and Jennifer Chaplyn – Clarion Call

It’s my privilege to speak with Sharon Fraser and Jennifer Chaplin, two of the three founding directors of an Australian consultancy called Clarion Call. Sharon brings her experience in the health system together and Jennifer brings experience from the service system. Both Jennifer and Sharon have a huge depth of experience and skill for creating spaces where community voices can be heard, and systems level change can occur. In our conversation, today we touch a little on what Sharon and Jennifer do, some of the key collaboration ingredients and examples, and then we spend some time unpacking the idea of collaborative governance. Please enjoy our conversation.
