WHY WE DO THIS WORK
As a species, we've achieved remarkable things—reshaping the world, designing advanced technologies, and overcoming challenges our ancestors couldn't imagine.
Yet our growing power threatens to outpace our wisdom in using it. We are putting the natural world we inherited, the foundation of every good thing in our lives, at risk.
It doesn’t have to be this way. We can leverage our power, knowledge and technology to protect and steward, so the generations to come inherit a world as full of beauty as we did.
For over 20 years I’ve led transformative projects while grappling with the reality of our volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world. These experiences have taught me lessons about creating change in complex systems you won't find in textbooks.
I founded Konrad & Company to share those lessons. We work with organizations committed to a sustainable future to turn strategy into reality and support the leaders making change in the world.
If you're working on something important, we’d love to hear from you.
