Hyphae are a network of change activators helping you identify, embrace and create change from the personal to the planetary. We combine the capacities of foresight, knowledge management, storytelling, imagination and connect with combinations of interesting people for unexpected results.
Our distinctive approach combines research-based expertise across foresight, storytelling, change, and knowledge management, with a hands-on approach, and an unswerving commitment to building foresight fluency with whomever we work. Our deep experience in the corporate, public policy, and non-profit sectors is amplified by a research and creative studio able to distil complex ideas into shareable artefacts and lively experiences that inspire action. Beyond the core team, our extraordinary networks are great companions for any journey.
Our ambition is to apply our radical capability to challenges such as: sustainable investment; the emerging bio age; the future of machine-human relationships in knowledge working; and the future of work and leadership. We see much change coming at us fast from all sides, and we want to equip the next generation of change agents. To do that, we must delve into the strange, the unfamiliar, the seemingly weird and far off, as well as the banal, invisible familiar and everyday.
