How we work with you

From one moment to lasting change.

This isn't skills training. It's strength training for the mind.

Start anywhere. Each layer builds on the one before it. Open any layer to see what's included.

    A+I in Practice

    The thinking behind the thinking.

    Every previous technology changed what humans did. AI is changing who humans are in the process of doing it.

    Skills go out of date. Strength doesn't. Your team builds four cognitive muscles, learns to notice how it thinks, and makes strong thinking a discipline.

    • AgencyAm I steering, or being steered?Think first
    • IdentityIs this still mine?Choose the harder path
    • JudgmentDo I trust this, and why?Make room to pause
    • CuriosityWhat am I not seeing?Widen your view

    One 90-minute session. Everyone leaves with an A+I self-check and a one-page plan. Your team leaves with its own ground rules for thinking with AI.

    Futurist in Residence

    Make foresight part of how your leaders think, all year.     Our flagship

    Two futurists on your team, without hiring one.

    An ongoing partner your leaders can call on as things shift, at a fraction of the cost of an in-house futurist. Workshops and A+I in Practice can be built right in.

Work with us
01

Why us?

For more than two decades, we've studied the future where humanity and technology meet, advising Fortune 500 companies and the leadership teams defining what's next.

What we've learned: your most powerful advantage isn't your technology.

It's your people. We help make them stronger.

02

Who do we work with?

Leaders who've stopped asking which tools to deploy, and started asking what happens to the people using them.

They're not looking for consultants or trainers.

They're looking for futurists who see what's coming, and know how to build the strength to meet it.

Erica Orange and Jared Weiner delivering a joint keynote on stage

Signature joint keynote

The Human Edge

The A+I Advantage

A keynote that pairs the forces reshaping business with the human capabilities that determine how organizations respond.

How it flows

  1. The moment. The old roadmap no longer exists, and what it takes to navigate without one.
  2. The forces. What's reshaping organizations, and why leaders need to pilot change, not ride it.
  3. The human response. Agency, Identity, Judgment, and Curiosity: the capabilities that keep people and teams irreplaceable.
  4. The path forward. Practical takeaways and the mindset shifts leaders need for what's next.

The outcome: an audience that leaves with a clearer view of what's coming, and the capabilities to meet it.

Best for leadership summits, executive offsites, annual conferences, and all-hands meetings. In person or virtual.
