zonti

zonti was founded on the belief that higher education faces such profound challenges and uncertainty that the sector urgently needs a specialist futures design and strategy innovation partner.

Copy-and-paste strategy, trend surfing and wishful thinking will no longer cut it.

It’s now time to think the previously unthinkable, and imagine the hitherto unimaginable.

Here are some of the things we can do for you:

• Research and advisory — we are tracking the most innovative education institutions, new players, startups and scaleups internationally, and we are researching how organisations across multiple domains are responding to the ‘exponential age’ by innovating radically with strategy, structure and org design, technology, business models, change and transformation, to bring you these insights.
• Strategic foresight — we support you to make sense of alternative possible futures, from the projected to the perilous, so you can imagine preferred scenarios, and design probes and prototypes to bring them forward.
• Experiential futures — we use digital media and generative AI to create worlds, scenarios and objects that allow you not only to imagine but to see and feel possible futures and evaluate their implications, so enabling more informed and responsible choice, and wiser action.
• Strategy design and innovation — we help you create good strategies, strategies based on sound understanding of what is really going on, strategies that coordinate and focus actions on creating sustainable change and success. And we can help you tell the strategic story, with both imagination and credibility, to all your diverse constituencies and stakeholders.
• Change and transformation — we are experienced in leading and managing large-scale change in higher education institutions (expansion, contraction, innovation, new products/services, organisation design).
• Innovation campaigns — we can run your hackathons, promptathons, innovation challenges and contests, partnerships with innovation labs and startups, and open innovation with users, customers and partners.
