Approach

Empowering Change: Our Commitment to Transformation Society. 

Our approach is rooted in systems thinking, we take what we know and continue to learn about transforming complex systems (i.e. large enterprises) and cross pollinate it to transforming super complex systems (i.e. society).

Our story

Why we exist

As an organisationWe want to seed and nurture an adaptive mindset in peopleSo that society gets better at responding to complexity and change.

How it works

Systems thinking, applied on a pavement

Our programmes leverage design thinking, core principles and values of agility to enable micro entrepreneurs to create value and solve problems, in any setting; their micro enterprise, home and/or community. This in our opinion better equips them to respond to change and complexity at multiple levels, an urgent need in current times of disruption.

We consider ourselves an innovation lab for low cost, immediate impact social transformation programmes that once validated are open sourced for others to use in alleviating poverty and improving livelihood security.
