In 1978 Camille moved from a career in medical technology laboratory work into the Australian Federal Government's Department of Science. She then transitioned in the Department from policy development into information services providing business analysis and data entry.
In 1980, Camille and Rob Thomsett commenced their project management education and consulting partnership. In 1985 they established their innovative company around the corporate values of simplicity and transparency to provide:
- interactive knowledge transfer and skills development to clients;
- team based, open and participative processes;
- honest conversations around a culture that has recently become to be known as an Agile culture and management; and
