We Are An Executive Design House
At the heart of The HuPerson Project is a discovery. Our living system is in trouble right now. In order to take care of our whole ecosystem, we need to become whole human beings, skillful with new ways of knowing beyond our habitual ways of thinking, doing, and being. With the future as our ally, business can accomplish great things, creating prosperity and bringing needed stewardship to our world. Rather than simply projecting the present onto the road ahead, together we can align with a new vision and real change. The HuPerson Project will co-design your business with you, cultivating the courage to be bold at the intersection of all contradictions.
How We Future Proof Your Business Through Executive Couture Design
Our inspiration for custom design comes from haute couture with its emphasis on specially-made solutions, combining intelligence, elegance and beauty. As we address the depth and breadth of your company, our executive design team helps you experience a new way of being to continually lead with your company’s future. The discovery at the heart of the HuPerson project will surprise you, as you combine profit with beauty, goodness, and stewardship.
INITIATING INQUIRY
We begin together by taking the measurement of your aspirations, your dilemmas, and your confirmation biases. Inquiry designed for you will help you let go of conditioned habits of mind that no longer serve, allowing for a new way of knowing (co-sensing).
HIGHEST POSSIBILITY
From the vantage point of a new intelligence, together we develop a vertical business case / executive design brief and experience what’s truly possible for your leadership to prosper as it aligns with life (co-presencing).
UNIQUE SIGNATURE
We discover how your uniqueness can co-create the future of your domain, and how your unique signature can continually evolve into new territory. Together we look at what your business is called to do and to become (co-evolving).
CREATING PROTOTYPES
Imagine there’s a future that wants to happen. We design with you what’s next, responding to that future that wants to happen. What would that look like in terms of stewardship of both your business and the world we share? (co-designing)
