ANALYSIS & STRATEGIES
IMAGINE & LISTEN
BUILD & PREFIGURE
DEMAND & DEFEND
Our approach begins with listening. We ask who should we be listening to and/or learning from, Who has been studying and/or succeeding at this for a long time, where is the wisdom?
We then move on to look at where versions just futures already exist in the form of microcosms, prototypes, or living examples. We analyse how they work, the failure modes and what the learnings are to inform our strategies.
We consider the present-day: legal rules, economic systems and social norms that standing in the way of just futures. We analyse the actions we can take today that can serve as a ‘directional demand’, to get us toward these visions.
