What we do.

01

Reimagine.

See what AI and design make possible before you commit. Strategy workshops and sprints that turn noise into a direction your people want to follow.

02

Reinvent.

Change how the organisation actually works. Two decades of human-centred design and transformation at billion-dollar scale.

03

Redesign.

Turn complexity into clarity, and emerging tech into advantage. Embedded advisory that stays in the room while it gets real.

Past ventures

Past venture

Stewardship Antarctica.

153+ leaders went to the last true wilderness and came home as advocates, not tourists.

With Insider Expeditions, Steve Pirie-Nally stepped in as acting CEO and Sarah Pirie-Nally as acting COO, together navigating growth, expansion and the move into B2C.

A leadership expedition co-designed with Insider Expeditions.

Partnered with the University of Tasmania to connect students with Antarctic researchers — developing the next generation of environmental stewards and systems thinkers.

Lessons

  • Design for the return: the real expedition starts when people get home, so build the community and follow-up in from day one.
  • Protect time for reflection. Awe turns into action when people have space to make sense of it.
  • Lead with education and transformation, and set expectations early so every guest knows the journey they're joining.
  • Pair adventure with evidence. Research with the University of Tasmania showed leaders bringing stewardship into their homes and workplaces six months on.
Past venture

Wonder Lab.

Auckland's first Well-being by Design Lab. Founded by Steve and Sarah, it brought design thinking and neuropsychology together with infrared sauna, ice bath, Pilates, yoga, recovery and a calmer boardroom. We tested it, learned from it and closed it.
