We combine/blend deep empathy with rapid testing to turn
bold ideas for products, systems, places, learning, experiences, & services—from “what if” into “what works.”
We guide teams to look beyond the immediate—scanning signals, trends, and system shifts to make sense of emerging change. Using participatory tools and synthesis methods, we surface shared understanding, shape narratives, and lay the foundation for future-fit strategy.
We co-create plausible futures with your team, translating drivers of change into scenario narratives that challenge assumptions and expand thinking. These futures are then used to stress-test current strategies, build long-term coherence, and align stakeholders around a shared direction.
To meet the diverse needs of each project, we offer a modular set of capabilities that can stand alone or work in combination:
Designing human-centered—and system-aware—services, tools,
and systems across digital and physical touchpoints.
Designing gatherings, workshops, and dialogues that align diverse voices and catalyze action.
Creating immersive experiences that support leadership, collaboration, and systems thinking.
Designing places that foster connection, care, and collective imagination, so people can shape what’s next together.
Shaping language, visuals, and stories to clarify complexity and drive meaningful engagement.
We help organizations explore future opportunities and rebalance their innovation efforts—mapping existing initiatives, identifying gaps, and aligning investments with strategic foresight. This supports stronger decision-making across short-term wins, long-term goals, and mission-aligned innovation.
We start with the future you want to see and work backward to uncover the strategic moves needed today. By identifying key shifts, decisions, and leverage points, we help you move from long-term vision to near-term action. This step clarifies not just what to do, but where and how to intervene for lasting, systemic impact.
Systems are complex. That’s why we mix capabilities—from deep research to bold design to long-view strategy—to meet your challenge in context and support lasting change.
