WHO WE'VE ACTED WITH

Our Approach

Social Systems Design enables organizations to retain the best qualities of a start-up and the standout attributes of a large corporate. It applies collaboration to marry the ability to experiment and learn quickly, with the capacity to structure and coordinate at scale.  

And when it comes to growth and change, instead of imposing it on people, we bring them along for the journey, giving you the tools to navigate complexity and uncertainty.

We love to tell stories in person

Living things don’t change, they transform.

After decades of combined experience in private, educational and civil society sectors, we’ve had experience with several different strategies and methodologies to support collective intelligence, decision making and action.

Although we’ll list them here - we have no specific favorites. Experience has shown us that is important to keep in mind one thing:

The method doesn't make the process - we work from the living system developing in front of us.

Our toolbox includes:

Process Consultancy
Design thinking
Systems thinking
Theory U
Goethean Phenomenology
Art of Hosting  
ITIL
Scrum/Agile
DevOps

Get in touch

Ways we can act together:

Consultancy, Coaching & Facilitation

Highly customized processes addressing issues on the individual, team or organisation levels to reach specific outcomes and possibly including diagnosis and report stages.

Workshops and Trainings

Capacity and team building around our expertise areas in different levels of intensity and duration. We make sure it’s fun, unforgettable and personal.

Graphic Facilitation

Special Day? Important decisions being made? We make sure that they’ll be turned into clear, readable inspiring (and shareable) visual panels or videos.

Keynotes and Performances

We’ve lived intense and passionate lives as creators, activists and entrepreneurs - and we have much to share.

Communications and Storytelling

Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come - if you communicate it right, that is. We’ll help you produce it, design it and get the word out.

What do you need help with?

Founders:

Felipe Duarte

Originally an artist and activist, Felipe's experience on the ground during the social upheavals of Brazil over the last decade have shifted his reflections towards society and organisations. His involvement in initiatives that spearheaded social innovation movements in Rio led him to found and run companies, foster communities, create art shows and other activities in several fields. Now based in Berlin, he facilitates and consults for business, civil society and educational organisations alike. His activities conspire to evolve how we relate to each other and with our personal narratives, hopefully leaving the world a little more creative than before.

Monika Wienbeck

Monika Wienbeck, entrepreneur, keynote speaker, nerd and creative communicator - alongside to my regular job in a corporate environment. Visual communication for me is an effective way to get people excited about technology, politics, and taking care of themselves. I believe that process and imagination are keys to empowering people. Keys to being a change maker. Keys to being happy in life. Process and imagination provide a sustainable way to be courageous, interrupt self censorship, and change our assumptions about the corporate and technology world.
