Start with context

Hard-won experience tells us to start from the beginning and understand the context you plan to create change in.

Teams that front-load the hard work of clearly framing and focusing their objectives are positioned to work with out-sized velocity.

Interviews
Diagnosis

Diagnosis of your situation is our first step. Understanding the real problem or situation, for every actor, is critical to creating a powerful frame.

Video Surveys
Shared Purpose

Shared Purpose helps a team orient to a challenge, and establish an internal compass to true transformation.

Ethnography
Anchoring Insights

Powerful Anchoring Insights create a centre of gravity and a coherent foundation to build on.

Ethnography
Organising Framework

An Organising Framework helps teams iterate fast whilst exploring a moving landscape of opportunities, ideas and learnings.

Shape

Shape your next step

With a clearly defined frame, you're ready to shape a meaningful response.

The next step is to shape a portfolio of ideas that are the raw material of your transformation.

Principles
Principles

Principles establish the rails for tough calls and trade-offs. We make them explicit to shape our thinking and pull in the same direction.

Principles
Concept Catalogue

Concepts are the building blocks of transformational change. This stage is all about making our ideas tangible, mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive.

Principles
Ecosystem Value

There's no change without equitable value across the ecosystem. Value is the jet fuel of change.

Principles
Feedback Loops

It's vital to expose our ideas to reality. We sharpen them through critical thinking and feedback loops.

Make

Build and learn

With confidence in our prioritised portfolio, we're now free to dive into the gritty depths of our chosen Concepts and iterate till we ship.

Forced focus is critical now as expanding levels of detail consume bandwidth, expand constraints and slow iteration.

Ecosystems

Build multidimensional offering embedded across complex stakeholder networks.

Scale

Develop your capabilities

Our ultimate goal is to build the system to deliver continuous change.

With clarity of purpose and a strategic, portfolio based approach to change, incremental value is the key to transformational change. Executing the right things, over and over, gets us there in the end.

Purpose

Clarity of purpose is the key to transformational change.

Purpose helps teams embed meaning, focus and impact in ecosystems.

People

Mindset, collaboration and deep skills enable even small teams to have outsized impact.

Teams that work with us learn to think in ecosystems and act with purpose.

Capabilities

Capabilities can unlock a Cambrian explosion or act as dead-weight that constrains possibilities.

Understanding and evolving capability is critical for empowered teams.

Theory of Change

The barriers to change are significant. Inertia is often our greatest competition.

A Theory of Change helps prioritise the initiatives that build momentum.
