With a broad background in the Oil, Water, Healthcare, Finance and Emergency Management industries, Stuart French is author of the www.DeltaKnowledge.net blog, and currently the Head of Knowledge Management at Country Fire Authority in Melbourne, Australia and Chair of the AFAC Knowledge, Innovation & Research Utilisation Network (KIRUN). 

Stuart combines 25 years of professional experience with a Masters of Knowledge Management (KM) to help companies with expertise identification & management, collaboration, organizational learning and knowledge systems to improve their performance and resilience to change. His research on wikis and knowledge cultures led to a fascination with complexity theory which he now enjoys teaching to various organizations and universities so they can bridge the gap between corporate strategy and service excellence.

He continues to serve the KM community as co-host of the Knowledge Management Leadership forum in Melbourne Victoria and is honored to be the Australia delegate at the KM Global Network.

Kurt drove away from New College of Florida for the last time with the phrase “organizational therapy” rolling around in his head. He left in his wake; many Rancid City Improvisational theater shows and an accidental college food-service boycott. He returned to DOE's Richland Laboratory to continue his work starting up the Fast Flux Test Facility, a sodium-cooled research reactor. When he drove away from the nuclear reactor for the last time, the personnel airlock was not breaking down every few weeks. The Camrol bearings rolled much-more smoothly.

Kurt has started up training programs, support organizations, planning groups, and many of the organizational and technology-development projects that flowed from them. These projects have synthesized lessons learned across the energy, high-tech, transportation, pharmaceutical, education, publishing, and political sectors. His current focus is on: ­Values-based decision making ­Infrastructures for collaborative, bottom-up conversations and negotiations ­Nurturing grassroot organizations, communication networks, and publishing pipelines ­Facilitating policy and knowledge architecture discussions ­Building operational solutions to speed intelligent behaviors ­Contributing his cello/ piccolo-bass hybrid to improvisational musical ensembles

From research reactors to research documentation, Kurt gets people on the same page and gets things rolling. The reviews tell the story. “Anyone could learn from you.” “It was like we worked together for years” “I should be talking with you more.” “You always come up with something” “It's never the same way twice.” “They play better when you're here.”
