Geodesiq Strategies center on value-creation in everyday experience, practical risk reduction, cooperative innovation, and long-term resilience.
Operational Resilience
What do you know about climate risk, in the context of your specific operational and practical needs? Do you know whether the risks you face are immediate, or longer term? Do you know if they are nonlinear and compounding, or straightforward and easily traceable with existing tools? Measuring risk and resilience in your context is foundational to all efforts aimed at future wellbeing.
Strategic Planning
Strategy requires knowing the landscape, knowing how it is evolving, whether that evolution favors your objectives, and how you can best align your activities with emerging opportunities. Our approach orients strategic planning processes toward managing nonlinear, compounding risks and supporting discovery of optimal approaches through cooperative problem-solving. Make sure your business relationships emphasize this way of working.
Adaptive Design Thinking
We need technologies; we need good policy; we need coherent, good faith regulation of polluting industries; and, we need investment. We also need communities to have access to the benefits of the best available science. Adaptive design thinking goes beyond solutions toward agile, informed management of future risks and shock events, to avoid maladaptation and optimize investments.
Energy Systems Outlook
The energy transition involves a paradigm shift—a comprehensive change in the way we find, deliver, and use energy. This paradigm shift touches all areas of human activity, and requires structural change that tends toward lightness, decentralization, intelligent integration, and empowerment of end users. Emerging energy systems will put reliable affordable clean energy within reach of any person anywhere and change how we measure, store, and transmit value. Reach out to learn more.
Aligned Budgeting
The Sustainable Development Goals are more than a global aspirational framework; the 17 Global Goals are oriented toward quality of life improvements in local context, and can be tracked with roughly 10 indicators each. Aligning public budgets or private investment plans with the SDGs can expand overall opportunity, improve non-financial returns on investment, reduce the need for follow-up spending aimed at repairing preventable harm, and create conditions for durable prosperity.
Optimzing for future gains
Geodesiq is working to develop detailed analysis of embedded secondary risk, potential ripple effects, and active resilience value. The Networked Earth System Science Initiative is part of this, as is the Active Value Trust Ratings project. By combining strategic foresight with detailed analysis of operational imperatives, we can support aligned budgeting, adaptive design thinking, and a broader project of optimization, to open new opportunities.
