Professional Bio

Dr Mark Elliott is Director and founder of Collabforge. As chief consultant for Collabforge, Mark has successfully designed and managed a range of high profile projects working closely with clients in a highly versatile and collaborative capacity.

In late 2007 through mid 2008, Mark led Collabforge’s reengineering of the City of Melbourne’s ten-year planning process, in order to enable a collaborative outcome across its large and diverse stakeholder groups. This reengineering also provided for the successful integration of a wiki-based collaborative environment, for both internal collaboration and external public consultation. The result was an award-winning, world’s first city plan to be developed in a wiki - FutureMelbourne.com.au. Since then, Mark has overseen projects delivered to the Australian state, local and federal governments as well as multinational corporations.

Prior to founding Collabforge, Mark completed a PhD investigating the underlying dynamics and mechanisms that drive and enable online mass collaboration. Mark's !PhD was examined by Internet luminary and inventor of the term "virtual communities", Howard Rheingold, as well as Francis Heylighen, a leading thinker in the areas of cybernetics and complex adaptive systems. Mark has published and delivered keynote presentations on his work at Princeton University, the Lowy Institute for International Policy and other international forums.
