Kylie de Klerk Consulting
Stop trying to manage Chaos. Engineer it.
The world is non-linear. Your strategy shouldn't be.
I use PhD-level Complexity Science to solve the Australian healthcare and other complex organisational leadership challenges that standard consulting can't touch.
ABOUT
Kylie de Klerk
Organisational Systems Architecture. Turning Disorder into Performance.
I help organisations translate complexity into clarity.
While standard consulting focuses on "soft skills," I focus on the physics of organisational performance. I partner with data, literature, and leaders to re-engineer the rigid hierarchies and outdated structures that cause burnout and operational failure.
My work is not based on guesswork; it is grounded in Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) and Dissipative Structures Theory. I use these frameworks to diagnose exactly where your organisation is leaking energy and increasing disorder (entropy) and to design new communication architectures that turn uncertainty into a competitive advantage.
My Expertise:
-
Navigating Chaos and developing bespoke strategies for tackling "wicked" problems in dynamic sectors.
-
Scientific Rigour: Moving beyond "culture" to analyze how feedback dynamics and behavioral patterns physically shape system resilience.
-
Actionable Transformation: Scenario modelling and systemic interventions that reduce psychosocial risk and drive innovation at scale.
My approach bridges the gap between academic theory and frontline reality.
If you are ready to move from managing symptoms to engineering solutions, I invite you to explore my insights below or get in touch to start the conversation.

A systematic literature review of board diversity in agile healthcare supply chain
Abstract:
The healthcare supply chain plays a fundamental role in addressing the healthcare needs of local and global communities. The composition of the healthcare sector, particularly regarding cultural and gender diversity, is an antecedent to effective medical healthcare management, and achieving organisational performance. Findings from the study suggest the advancement of critical elements of organisational diversity research in the agile medical supply chain, including aspects of the influences of workforce heterogeneity on board governance practices, organisational culture and climate-specific studies, organisational performance and non-performance outcomes, and diversity disparities in senior and executive-level leadership roles...

Does Gender and Cultural Diversity Matter for Sustainability in Healthcare? Evidence from Global Organizations
Abstract:
Global healthcare organizations are fundamental in addressing the healthcare needs of local and global communities. This study examines the relationship between boardroom diversity on the sustainability performance of companies operating in healthcare...These findings support critical mass theoretical expectations for board diversity and sustainability performance, suggesting that a meaningful representation (three or more) of women and ethnic directors on the board of healthcare organizations significantly improves sustainability performance. The findings remain robust in a series of robustness tests and continue to hold after accounting for potential endogeneity concerns. This paper has important implications for global healthcare organizational policy concerning diversity management practices and their implications for sustainability performance.
