Ideas
Proud to have led the design and execution of public and stakeholder engagement across all parts the city and all socio-economic sectors, with a strong focus on equity and sustainability. Aligned values, dynamic citizens, and great partners (including Design Workshop) ensured the awards for the 25 year strategic plan have come flowing in.
The fate of our planet and people everywhere depends on rapidly addressing the linked issues of climate change, biodiversity, equity, and social well-being.
We help organizations of all kinds focus on and take rapid and effective action on these challenges by collaborating effectively with others.
Our work crosses borders, sectors, and levels, with a strong focus on dialogue, emergence, reflection, the plan/act/reflect cycle, and social and organizational capacity-building.
We believe in Stewardship (protecting and restoring the local and global ecological systems on which life depends), so we will reduce the ecological footprint of social and economic activity, and support ecosystem restoration and balance
We believe in Inclusion (ensuring that everyone who wishes to can have a meaningful voice in the issues and decisions that affect them), so we expand, diversify, and listen to the voices and perspectives engaged in decision-making, and the policies and projects that follow
We believe in Social Equity (ensuring just and fair inclusion into a society in which all can participate and reach their full potential), so we identify, develop, and support decisions, policies and actions increasing the equitable distribution of voice, power, opportunity, and resources in our communities, our organizations, our countries, and globally
We believe in Sustainable Prosperity (equitable, long-term economic activity meeting the needs of the population fairly, while minimizing environmental impacts), so we help reduce economic inequality,
dematerialize economic flows, and build a restorative and circular economy
We believe in Reconciliation (establishing and maintaining a mutually respectful relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples) and Respect for people of all cultures, continuously working to better understand, atone for, and help address past injustices and their current manifestations
We believe in Ongoing Learning (supporting the conscious and ongoing expansion of knowledge, skills, and insights), so we actively develop and maintain a reflective organizational culture, valuing openness, humility, discussion, collaboration, and exploration as we build our practice, networks and influence
