We perceive that existential challenges for humanity must be addressed despite their inherent complexity, because nothing could be more important.

We make use of systems thinking, because we live in a world where people, sectors, ecosystems and geographies are interconnected, and where change and uncertainty are constant.

We take a “Living Systems” view, because the world is not deterministic and does not function in linear ways: because we are ourselves living systems living in a world of both the living and the inanimate; because living systems self-organise and their behaviour cannot always be predicted; because we are all part of the earth’s ecosystem and the study of ecosystems lies closer to biology than to management.

We consider that large-scale transformations are needed to tackle the existential challenges of our times, and that this requires systems change, because incremental actions are insufficient.

We accompany leaders, rather than doing the work for them, because we want to help them develop and own their leadership approach: we mentor but do not judge them.

We encourage leaders to draw on their inner selves, because we believe that they are most influential when self-reflecting and drawing on their emotions
