We make space for collective problem-solving.

§ ICollective Innovation was founded in Oslo in 2019 by Håkon Ege, who had spent the better part of a decade asking why the people with the best questions about the future were rarely the people given permission to answer them. The answer, as he found it, was structural: the institutions that could afford to ask were not the institutions closest to the problem. We exist to close that gap, patiently, and in public.

§ IIWe work as an ecosystem rather than a company. Five organisations across four countries share a method, an intent, and — when it is called for — a bill of materials. Each organisation is legally independent and operationally self-governing. The ecosystem is what remains after you remove the scaffolding of any single brand: people, trust, and the willingness to work on the same long-horizon problems year after year.

§ IIIOur values, briefly: collective consciousness — outcomes compound when diverse minds work on the same question at the same time; purpose before prescription — we start with the problem worth solving, then choose the tools; cross-sector by default — the interesting patterns live in the overlaps; signals into action — foresight only matters if someone, somewhere, decides differently tomorrow.

§ IVWe are paid, variously, by the European Commission and her funding instruments, by private clients who want counsel, and by the quiet conviction that some work is worth doing even when no one is paying. We publish openly, revise frequently, and keep our accounts in long hand.
