Our Mission
We believe there is an underlying “crisis of complexity” that makes it hard to address the challenges of the Anthropocene. We are developing methods to break through this complexity barrier, and—considering all issues of science and all those of public policy—we work to find acceptable, practical solutions to critical global challenges.
Our Work
Our new methods for tackling complexity can readily be extended to many global challenges. Through the use of “special focus teams,” we are developing clear, effective, long-range plans that will allow democratic societies to understand, debate, and take action on the biggest challenges of the Anthropocene.
Building Our Team
As we grow, we’re hiring and collaborating with some of the smartest, most dedicated, creative, and compassionate people on the planet. Please contact us if you have the kind of background, focus, and ability needed to work amidst this level of complexity and to help build a better future.
Our Blog
Essays here explore fundamental issues about the power and limits of human thought and the complexity of the challenges of the modern world. We share new strategies for tackling complexity, ongoing reports about the efficacy of our new methods, and connections with the work of other groups around the world.
