A good refugee camp manager faces medical, technical, managerial, political, diplomatic, security, and psychological challenges, and then goes beyond to stimulate an environment where refugees can take control of their situation.

Organisational Change «
http://www.seanlowrie.com/services/organisational-change

Presentations, lectures and public speaking. The written word is fundamentally important. I also believe that stories, dialogue and visual images are more effective in knowledge sharing. Sharing anecdotes and stories is the essential part of communicating to mass audiences. For the Humanitarian Futures Programme I have presented on future humanitarian crises and desired organisational behaviours in turbulent environments to leadership meetings within the Red Cross Movement and Médecins Sans Frontiers.
