Sophoi

Sophoi provides results - sensemaking - learning expertise to help people and organisations and investors generate new knowledge, learn and change. Our work is collaborative, practical and evidence-based. We are proud of our social impact – both in the work we do and how we work. We work on, and contribute to, addressing the most pressing global challenges - climate change, environmental degradation, global health crises, and poverty and inequality. These “super-wicked problems” are the defining feature of the Anthropocene period – characterised by dynamic interactions between humans and ecosystems, and operating in complex and contested systems. Addressing these challenges requires transformative and systemic change. Innovative solutions need to be urgently found, tested and scaled. These solutions need to be grounded in robust evidence, practical learning and enhanced capacity. Our approaches and methods are informed by complexity thinking, systems innovation, adaptive learning, and resilient transformative change. Our current clients include: IKEA Foundation, Laudes Foundation (BuildingLife Initiative, European Environmental Bureau), The B Team, Great Barrier Reef Foundation (Resilient Reefs Initiative), African Development Bank (AfDB), and the Children's Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF)
