Pledge of purpose
As a research boutique with vast experience, talent, and resources, we believe that doing no harm or simply being sustainable is not enough. Therefore, we pledged that we use all our assets and efforts to achieve a net-positive contribution to the 21st century.
We noticed that our business counterparts have many models and strategic knowhow but often lack the understanding of human mindset, habit change and thick values and, while our sustainability counterparts show true passion and activism but often lack the models, complacent strategies and structures
.Thus, we created a hybrid approach by starting both a Futures Academy and an Impact Academy, social value & economic values heavily intertwined. Our mission is to unite these different worlds to make positive change happen.
By making this digital platform we make sure that everybody can gain access to these models, examples and visions. To democratize strategic skills and knowhow is important. For this reason we are so proud to closely cooperate with NGO's from the Netherlands, UK to India to extend the access into groups we could never have imagined.
From Artificial Intelligence to the rise of a Quantum generation and from diversity towards more sustainability, the metaverse or platforms-economy. All these upcoming developments are all interconnected, a kind of super-structure of change.
Anticipating such large-scale change starts with seeing the ecosystem as an integral whole ánd to be able to deconstruct into parts and relations. We inspire our members to see the underlying design principles (pattern recognition).
From this vantage point, we can then design new interventions to promote and prevent certain behaviors that will make the system shift. Our approach is about finding the elementary principle; the flywheel that with minimal effort can generate the largest effect.
Change and innovation do not fall out of a blue sky. There are many weak signals we don’t recognize. Anticipating future events demands an unconventional approach to actively challenge your limiting beliefs and hidden assumptions.
Our approach provides a systemic way to look at events. We aim to find small changes that generate big impacts. To identify these levers, you need to recognize the underlying patterns in the systems around us. To see the super-structure of upcoming change.
Using the working models on our platform is like learning a new language. It will help you to comprehend future events, express ideas, and create a shared vision for the future.
It is impossible to stay up to date with all new ideas on leadership, future business models, sustainability, or organizational design. Therefor we work with an extensive 'Board of Inspiration' and our visiting faculty. Dialogues with this group of over 150 experts help us to better understand the dynamics of change.
