Dr Joanne Orlando advises the organisations shaping technology — and brings that inside understanding to the organisations living with its impact. Because she works directly with leading technology, social media and gaming platforms across Australia and the United States, Dr Jo understands technological change not from the outside looking in, but from the inside out. For institutions and corporations facing rapid technology change, that means advice grounded in how the industry actually works, what is genuinely coming, and what it means for real people.
Advising technology companies on the human impact of their products, particularly children’s safety, online behaviour and wellbeing.
Bringing research into the real human–technology relationship so policy and practice work for people, not just the technology.
Fresh, innovative approaches to complex technology and human-behaviour challenges where organisations need a different way forward.
Independent, research-based evaluation of digital resources, websites, programs and materials, assessing their effectiveness, user experience and real-world impacts.
Expert sessions delivered directly to an organisation’s clients, customers or stakeholders as a high-value extension of its offering.
An ongoing expert voice bringing current research, emerging trends and the human perspective into the decisions that matter.
Most technology advisers analyse the industry from the outside. Dr Jo advises it from within. That insider position, combined with two decades of research, gives organisations something rare: a deep, evidence-based understanding of the human side of technology that technical teams and traditional consultants often miss. Technology is built by people who understand the engineering. But understanding how it lands with real people — what it changes, where the risks sit and how behaviour responds — requires a different lens.
Dr Jo bridges that gap. She is sought out by leading organisations for a depth of understanding they can translate into better decisions, products, policies and practices.
Dr Jo advises gaming platforms, big tech and social media companies across Australia and the United States, and has provided expertise to government at the highest levels, including advising on the world-first under-16 social media ban and providing expertise to the UK Cabinet. She now brings this insider understanding to the institutions and corporations navigating technology change in their own organisations.
Together, they give organisations an understanding of technology that technical teams and outside consultants often miss.
Dr Jo works with a select number of organisations navigating technology change.
