seeing the other
Shaping political discourse, public policy and behavior
Human relationships are the key to a better society. Each of us carry our own beliefs, values and narratives. We listen to our own feelings, mind & heart but seldom ready to see & hear the other. When we encounter difficult topics, like climate change, development race, class & gender, challenging situations, like homelessness, redistribution & land rights & disagreeable positions, our natural response is to react and defend. Our ability to see, hear and learn to the each other is the only way to shape a better society.
Seeing the Other (StO) is a collective and think tank that works in the balance between conflict and consensus. StO uses narratives, storytelling, data analytics, strategic & political advice, advocacy and future imaginings to shape this balance. We help build bridges and see embrace complexity beyond the surface level issues.
At the heart of organisation is the ability to listen, learn, act and shape behaviour.
Shaping political strategy
Advising political parties, leaders & senior government officials on approach city building and problem solving differently. We find policy, procedures and human solutions at the intersection of social justice, affordable housing, climate change and urban governance. We provide futures thinking around both emergent leadership models, strategic political guidance and change management.
