We were young people wanting to see a better world for all. We dreamt and we did. And over time, we grew.
From only doing short term action we realised the value of long term sustainable impact. From only doing OD and trainings we realised the power of stories and meaning-making.
We decided to tap the power of culture to transform the sector into a thriving space for us all.
We start with listening to the longing of the system. When is it at its best? What does it dream of being? What are the confusions and complexities it deals with?
Reflect on components of the current culture that are functional and its blockages through our Culture Map. Bring forth the collective mental models, metaphors and ideologies that are at play.
Bring forth diverse viewpoints. Surface the tensions. Engage with the power dynamics. Negotiate the shared space. Bring forth experiences and histories.
Identify what is at the centre of the system. What energises it? What gives it life? What keeps it going? From that centre, design for the emerging future.
Translate intentions into workstreams. Implement through rapid prototyping. Evaluate results. Monitor progress. Loop back to the system’s original intent.
