A Pathway from Technical Innovations 
to Adaptive Problem-Solving
Untitled design-3.png

Adaptive Challenges Require an Integrative, Systems Approach

We live in the “Age of Adaptation,” a time of profound and accelerating changes in the environmental, social, economic, political, cultural, technological, and knowledge systems that shape our world. Addressing the urgent, complex challenges of the 21st Century requires a new approach.

Our Approach

Our integrative, systems approach that links technical innovations with adaptive problem-solving is at the heart of everything we do.

What We Bring

We bring a co-design, “compounding” framework to our work with diverse client partners that generates sustained, regenerative, and exponential impact by engaging, empowering, and connecting multiple layers and levels of the system. This unique framework allows our client-partners to leverage the collective intelligence, creativity, and potential of the entire system.

Our Services

Our services are informed by the field of social innovation and entrepreneurship (SIE) and made available through three theory-to-practice laboratories—

The Learning Lab, The Practice Lab, and the Immersion Lab.

Who We Are

We’re a diverse, intergenerational team of adaptive changemakers that has come together to help individuals, organizations, and communities address the urgent, complex challenges of our times by reimagining and redesigning our systems in service to a world in balance that works for everyone.

"SIE CoLab is crucial at this point in time because, quite frankly, we live within a pivotal point where the actions we take today directly determine whether we’ll be able to meet

the urgent challenges of tomorrow.

 

The SIE CoLab’s approach and model can serve as an adaptive problem-solving framework and grounds to land on as new generations search for ways to disentangle themselves

from a web of past mistakes and unsustainable narratives."
