Systems Thinking for People, Place & Planet
When progress excludes the people it claims to serve, we lose more than opportunity, we lose trust and relationship. We work with multi-disciplinary teams made up of community partners, nonprofits, academia, foundations, governments, and the private sector, to build systems where innovation serves everyone.
Focus Areas
Complex challenges require looking at problems from multiple angles. Our focus areas work together as an integrated approach.
Public-interest governance for AI, data, and digital infrastructure that protects rights and builds trust.
ExploreDeploying capital to transform human and natural systems by aligning investment structures with environmental sustainability and social justice.
ExploreDeep democracy and network weaving. Relationships are the primary infrastructure of any system.
ExploreConnective, mycelial infrastructure that moves insights into action across places, so learning travels and local adaptation leads.
ExploreTranslating complexity into practical methods that reveal hidden system dynamics and strengthen resilience through uncertainty.
ExploreWe apply these lenses across Housing, Climate, Healthcare, Education and Democracy, and expand into other domains where systems change can cascade.
"The measure of innovation isn't speed to market - it's whether the people affected had a say in shaping it."
