Inspired by the web, we create Constellations (multidisciplinary, multistakeholder programmes) that turn social, environmental and economic impact into business as usual. Based on evidence, we help deploy capital, humans and machines to address today’s challenges at scale.
We’re not like a regular consultancy
We’re not here just to point: we share your passion for delivery, outcomes and impact.
We’re not an agency
We’re not here to retain you as a client beyond our usefulness.
We’re more like a film studio
We co-create the script, budget and timeline, then hand-pick the team for the project. Sometimes we’re the Director, sometimes we’re the Production team, sometimes both.
“I love how one only has to breathe gently on a web of makers and treasure manifests from among their neural networks”
— Robert WestonThe Dgen Constellation includes a broad range of individual experts, including those from small and big companies, financiers, cities and governments. We help achieve a 10–100× return on investment in social, environmental and economic impacts. We are unashamedly ambitious, and acutely aware of the challenges.
We build on the idea that the strategy is delivery. Our guiding principles:
Design
Co-create a briefing document; agree success conditions; curate domain experts; hold a workshop to co-develop solutions and document the process.
Implement
Co-create a delivery plan with budgets, timelines, and halting conditions; curate federated implementation teams; make things; document outcomes.
Report, review & restart
Analyse what worked and what didn’t; openly communicate outputs; co-design next steps, and do it better.
If it doesn’t work (and halting criteria are key), we start again and do it better.
If it does work, we start again and do it better.
