By the very nature of their roles, policymakers, investors of all kinds and sector leaders address the ‘wicked problems’ that others have not yet solved. We’re all dealing with volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous situations where no one has the whole picture. And where asking the right questions to diagnose the problems is hard enough, let alone coming up with solutions. 

We bring a combination of expertise and informed opinion, research and evidence and co-design and collaboration to these challenges. And to designing the responses that the creative and cultural sectors – and the investors, policymakers and digital enterprises that support them – desperately want, but cannot on their own devise or impose. 

Governments, public bodies, impact investors, sector bodies, universities, digital enterprises: you can commission us, fund us and partner with us to work at a local, regional, national and international level. With you we will bring together the right minds, decision-making, capacity, data and willingness to explore and try new things – in the ways below.
