Five Practical and eclectic vehicles
to move from MAD Land to NO MAD Land.
We develop practical vehicles to help people change their maps, widen the geography of possibilities, and act on possible futures — here and now.
How: through conscious and intentional Shifts in Minds for Shifts in Action.
Different formats. One ecosystem.
AdWise
Strategic Futuring: Narrative and creative consultancy.
Shift mental maps, shape the landscape.
AdWise is our Strategic Futuring practice: a simple, joyful and powerful approach that helps leaders and teams make visible the mental maps — assumptions, dominant narratives, imaginaries and invisible boundaries of the possible — that shape strategic choices and keep action within familiar landscapes.
We work at the root of transformation, at the crossroads of Strategy, Foresight, the Art of Re-perception and Serious Creativity, to open strategic imagination and make radically different Futures visible, desirable and actionable.
The aim is not simply to improve the existing model, but to enable a Fosbury Flop of the Mind: a deliberate creative leap from Business as usual to Business as the world needs.
The Shapership Game
New points of view to shape the Future(s) — every day.
A poetic, strategic and imaginative game-and-conversation — and a facilitated service — designed to help people seriously play with their mental maps and move from MAD Land to NO MAD Land.
It invites individuals and groups to exercise their power and freedom to adopt new points of view, shape the Future in the Present, and make wiser moves now.
Used solo, it becomes a daily practice of perception, imagination and action. Used with teams or communities, it becomes a facilitated Broadmapping journey: a way to adopt the Altitude Attitude, expand perspectives, and make wiser choices in uncertainty.
Civic Imagination
NO MAD Times and Spaces.
Pop-up thinking spaces for world building.
Based on metaphors that shift mental maps, we create NO MAD Times and Spaces: transformative moments, public formats and pop-up thinking spaces dedicated to civic imagination.
These are not just events. They are playgrounds for world building — spaces where people of different backgrounds, ages and professions can come together to share, shift perspective, and rehearse desirable futures together.
Civic Imagination gathers six live formats: The Shapership Salon, Jazz & Collaboration Workshop, Public Thinker, Conferences, The Shapership Game and the Imagician.
The Shapership Academi
EDUCATION as the practice of FREEDOM.
Teaching to transgress. From skills to Creative Agency — cartographers of possibilities.
The Shapership Academi is built on a simple idea: learning cannot be limited to skills acquisition if the world is changing at the level of paradigms, narratives and mental maps. What is needed is Learning as Unusual — Ex-ducere: a practice that transforms the way we think so that Shapers of the Future can emerge and flourish.
It is a connected constellation of formats designed to cultivate agency, imagination, re-perception and the capacity to participate actively in shaping a viable and desirable NO MAD Land.
The Art of Re-perception
Shift perceptions. Open doors to new possibilities.
Aline Frankfort’s current work converges around the Art of Re-perception: creating poetic forms and narrative conversations that shift perception and open new doors onto the world — as it is and as it could be..
The medium changes; the gesture is the same: making visible the mental landscapes and stories that shape what seems real, normal or possible — and creating room for another point of view.
It takes two complementary forms:IMAGIC — by The Imagician
Poetic cartographies and images that make the familiar strange, shift the gaze and make other possibilities perceptible.
Narrative Conversations for Preferred Futures — by Doctor Sigmunda
One-to-one narrative conversations rooted in Narrative Therapy, helping people make dominant stories visible, loosen their hold and re-author preferred Futures.
Different formats. One ecosystem.
From AdWise to the Game, from Civic Imagination to the Academi and Narrative Therapy, these are all practical vehicles to help people change their maps, widen the geography of possibilities, and act on possible futures — here and now.
