Our DNA…
Courageous of spirit
Contrarian of mind
Compassionate of heart

Our mandate is to inspire people, organizations and communities to thrive in complexity.
In thriving we rise to life’s challenges, engage and relate, find fulfillment in creativity and getting things done, and look beyond ourselves in a spirit of generosity.
In thriving we drive the ability of our organizations and communities to succeed through action, adaptation and creativity.
We are challenge oriented using a discovery driven process to create value.
We welcome challenges that stretch us and develop social, ecological and economic wellbeing.
We create a climate of rapid learning through a discovery driven process.
Failure is an option, as we launch safe to fail probes (small experiments), that test assumptions, seek value creation and the ‘right fit’ for our value proposition. We amplify what works. We dampen (and quickly recover from), what does not.
We create, act, learn and adapt. We search and then execute to find the power of what works.
We limit possibilities by walling ourselves off from diverse experience and different ways of seeing the world.
We expand our ability to define challenges and seek solutions by adding voices across disciplines to tap into the pool of collective wisdom.
Developing insight from weak signals and multiple perspectives, broadens and deepens our ability to tackle complex multi-stakeholder and multisector challenges. Collaboration opens us to previously unimagined opportunities.
Sharing ‘story’ connects us to each other, our context and our deeper experience. It is how we relate, remember and reimagine.
Through story…we shift our lens from inside our institutional bubble, to see an unfamiliar world seeded with surprise and possibilities.
We listen for common ground.
We co-create the new story that builds the will to embody the emerging future.
Thriving in Complexity
