Our world works as an ecosystem. Our businesses, our cities, our countries work as ecosystems: all constituent parts are linked together. They interact as a dynamic system. Whether it’s in the realm of thought, observation or action, the smallest variation between parts influences the whole in an agile and often exponential way.

Over the last 50 years, this ecosystem has been increasing in complexity and growing at a speed that transcends human perception and understanding. Developments in technology, increasing globalisation and hyperconnectivity, among other things, mean that humanity has been facing unprecedented challenges since the appearance of modern man 200,000 years ago. Profound changes – economically, socially, scientifically, technologically and environmentally – put societies, businesses, cities and countries up against complex and hitherto unseen problems. New landmarks are constantly appearing.

It is on these foundations that we build our raison d’être: to help businesses, cities and countries to understand this complexity and encounter the best solutions by combining human intelligence (HI) with artificial intelligence (AI) to create lasting value.
