We do not provide cookie-cutter blueprints. Complex challenges require individualized approaches that lead to tailor-made ideas, followed by implementation strategies characterized by exploration and constant adaptation. We do not believe in a singular future, but plan in multiple potential futures. Creativity and curiosity therefore are our key traits. We work co-creatively with our clients and stakeholders to develop and give meaning to projects, processes and products.
Anticipate
Anticipating possible, probable and desirable futures.
Based on signal and trend research, we jointly discuss various future scenarios and generate systemic knowledge for your organization. We focus on desirable futures, as well as on the needs of future personas and potential user scenarios. We embrace the effect of utopias and use the creativity of speculative design to open up alternative perspectives.
Understand
Translating futures scenarios visually and preparing them in comprehensible way.
By visually translating intricate facts and processes, we reduce complexity, transform system knowledge into something tangible, and create enthusiasm. We use storytelling and graphic recording to pave the way for communication at eye level. We create cutting-edge scientific communication, visualize target knowledge and facilitate knowledge transfer between heterogeneous stakeholders.
Shape
Shaping desirable futures and initiating transformation.
We accompany you in forging strategies, but also in the implementation of transformative processes or innovative future products. For us, this also means composing offers that enable a change of perspective and the re-framing of mindsets. Through our Futures Thinking and Change Agents trainings, we lay the foundation for organizational change, and promote the creative and future-oriented thinking of the stakeholders and employees* involved.
Our Approach
At Ellery Studio, Futures Research, Visual Strategy and Change Maker Lab work hand in hand to design and implement holistic, creative and forward-thinking solutions to complex challenges.
The basis of our work? Creative strategy!
For all labs this means: breaking out of the norm, critically questioning the established, focusing on meaning and purpose, and taking new paths.
Our Client List
We have worked successfully with large and small organizations, scientific institutions and universities around the world. Even though the contents and challenges were often very different, all our projects have something in common: they create effective ways to navigate uncertainties and spark inspiration!
