Trusted by our clients
Based in Bristol and Bath in the West of England, we work across the UK and around the world, as well as locally.
We are dedicated to facilitating partnerships and projects that deliver sustainable place-based impact. Clients recognise us as the glue that can hold together bold ideas to create shared ambition and goals. We can help manage the risks associated with trying new approaches, creating space where ideas can be tested-out and refined before they are scaled-up and rolled-out more widely.
Our Vision
Thinking about the future can either be overwhelming or seemingly too distant to be a priority, but it doesn’t have to be like that. By combining our expertise and our passion for the future, we can help decision makers feel confident and positive about the futures they are seeking to create. We apply our creative methodologies and robust evidence gathering techniques to make the future feel tangible and achievable by our clients and their own networks. We help create the space where new ideas can be explored, tested and refined before being implemented more widely.
Our vision is a world where economy and society work in balance with the natural world. Places are “smart’ not because digital technology dominates but because it increases liveability and adds to the quality of life. We think of this as “Smart, Sustainable Futures for All”.
As a business, we relish big ideas and are not put-off by complex challenges.we break things down into manageable blocks before spotting how to cross-connect them. We specialise in bringing people together and see it as our role to involve more and different people in developing visions and plans for smart and sustainable futures.
Our clients find our positive enthusiasm and passion for the future is infectious but our knowledge and experience also means that we are very aware of how difficult it is to deliver the positive futures that we envision. By being generous with our time and our ideas, working collaboratively and inclusively and adopting an action-focus, we also seek to model the type of future that we are seeking to create.
