Our services

  • Facilitate your strategic innovation process

    Together we map the current situation and the system you operate in. We try to find the leverage points where you can make the most impact.

    Together we explore multiple future pathways and design experiments to select the most impactful one for you.

    We can help with the implementation or decide that you can move forward by yourself.

    We are there to design and facilitate this process with you. We can help you making your vision concrete and tangible. What we don't do is change management.

  • (Re)Design transformative learning experiences and programs

    From a first idea to full implementation, and everything in between.

    We can help you design and facilitate educational modules, games, minors, honours programs, executive programs, summer schools, tracks, full Bachelor or Master programs and even complete curricula.

  • Inspiration and design workshops

    About visioning, ideation, intervention and experience design, innovation in education, futures literacy, teacher professionalization, collaboration and transformative (learning) experience design.

This is how we work

‘form-free’: without a set final product in mind: we could design a product, a service, a game, a method, model or framework, an installation, an event, a toolbox, a program or new organization. The form we co-design depends on the context of the question or challenge we work with.

Using a design-based research approach, in which action and reflection both alternate and happen at the same time. We work in an iterative way. With small experiments and pilots, we get a better understanding of the issues, opportunities and blind spots. Our open approach is hands-on, adaptive and step-by-step.

In co-creation with the team and stakeholders that (have a responsibility to) deal with the issue at hand. We involve stakeholders from start to finish – from understanding and framing the context to designing ideas, experiments and directions for solutions.

Collaboratively with people from different backgrounds and disciplines: practitioners, policy-makers, artists, graphic designers, anthropologists and any other profession relevant to develop new insights and surprising ideas. These perspectives are integrated in the design process.

Using tools and methods from systems thinking and futures literacy to enable people to imagine radical alternatives, identify leverage points and develop interventions that have transformative potential, based on collective values.

Our toolbox

  • Because of the interconnected nature of our world we can initiate moving the system from any starting point. Even from the individual level, without losing track of the bigger system as a whole. It's about identifying leverage points and developing interventions that have a transformative potential.

  • We don't know what a sustainable future will look like or how to get there. How can we go beyond extrapolating the status quo, and imagining multiple desirable alternatives?

    In our work we use future literacy tools to help you think in multiple ways about a more sustainable future, to enhance your capacity to navigate uncertainty, to anticipate change, to in the end make more informed decisions about the future, today.

  • We aim to design experiences and processes that have a transformative potential, that reshape people's perspectives, thoughts, or experiences of the world. To achieve this, we try to (re)connect the head, hands and heart. Learning happens in interaction with others and our environment. Where we engage not only our rational minds but also our bodies and emotions.

  • Experiential learning is learning with and from experiences, often in as real as possible settings. It encourages people to explore, experiment and interact with their environment, using all their senses and emotions. Reflection is a crucial part of it as well, to make sense and gain a deeper understanding of the subject matter.

    It means that learning is action-oriented and that outputs are often tangible. Experiential learning then can bridge the gap between theory and practice by connecting us to the world around us. Also, it can connect us with the world within us: finding out what the subject matter means to us personally, making it a more meaningful and lasting experience.

    This way of learning implies that ‘failing’ is part of the learning journey. We therefore always try to create a safe space to fail. And to try again.
