Innovative, ambitious and pragmatic responses to global challenges.

We help small organisations and teams within larger institutions develop practical strategies that guide their everyday work.

Developed with NGOs and teams within international organisations in mind, our approach also applies to think tanks, research institutions and other mission-driven organisations working across international affairs.

Through assessment, consultation and structured workshops, we help teams reflect on the forces shaping their environment, make deliberate choices about their direction and priorities, and develop concrete plans for action. We also support them in putting those strategies into practice.

We design, lead and facilitate collaborative processes that bring together people with different expertise, interests and perspectives to address complex international challenges.

From expert consultations and strategic foresight exercises to multi-stakeholder workshops and diplomatic dialogues, we take responsibility for the process from initial research and design through facilitation, synthesis and follow-through.

Our focus is on helping participants move beyond discussion towards strategic options, shared priorities and practical pathways for action.

We conceive, develop and advance initiatives addressing consequential international challenges, working with clients and partners or pursuing ideas of our own.

Our work can begin with a difficult problem, an overlooked opportunity or an ambitious proposal. It can include developing potential responses, assessing feasibility, identifying partners and funders, building coalitions and designing strategies for diplomatic or institutional action.

We seek to move promising initiatives towards implementation, working with others where additional expertise, authority or resources are needed.
