Passion. Experience. Diligence.
At UMIO/Innovate we’re aware that we are living in extraordinary times of change. How society has been structured and functions is being questioned. We feel it, you feel it, we all feel it.
As measured by the Edelman Trust Barometer, global trust is at an all-time low. There is a crisis in trust and genuine concern for our future direction as a society are rising.
At UMIO/Innovate we assist people to create the right solutions to propel themselves, their team, or their organisation forward into a more sustainable future. The world’s issues can get resolved if, individually and collectively, we have the courage to co-create solutions that align our choices. With a maturity that assumes a responsibility and shared values. That’s why our co-creative design thinking methods encourage individual perspectives, welcome group collaborations and values diverse contributions. Forging an open invitation for creativity that harnesses collaboration, and cooperation through a coalition of coaction.
