A roadmap for changemakers
Led by our founder Maurits Montañez, this program guides participants through a hands-on journey to design changemaker businesses that shape brighter futures for people and the planet. Over the course of the program, the cohort will:
- Learn the core concepts and practices of futures design, changemaking, and impact business.
- Identify signals of change, and make sense of emerging behaviors and technological shifts in the creative sectors.
- Co-create visions of the future worth fighting for and bring them to life through speculative prototyping.
- Develop a clear product or service strategy to drive a changemaker vision forward.
- Build regenerative business models, along with their marketing and financial strategies that sustain long-term movements.
- Spark a movement toward a desirable future.
