Our Approach
Our Approach
We help large social and business enterprise map their systemic change strategies, much like hikers map the best trails through the forest – tree by tree. There is no single method or process that is sufficient to address truly complex challenges, just as there is no single approach to create an enterprise change strategy. Systems mapping techniques are diverse and varied, all attempting to gain a more holistic understanding of the system, and in many cases, track emergence within it. By applying a series of tools derived from systems theory, we produce a holistic model of what we refer to as enterprise transformation outcomes, which is in effect, a model of the future.
Our Story

Our methods were developed in a partnership between the Global Knowledge Initiative and the Georgia Institute of Technology for the Rockefeller Foundation and have been tested in projects for a number of commercial and government enterprises. We engage a forward-looking process that provides decision makers with greater insight and confidence in their sponsorship of innovation to impact a problem or change strategy.
