Exploring Potential
Critical application of social neuroscience
Individuals, organisations and societies are facing unprecedented challenges arising from the extraordinary systemic complexity of our modern world. Meeting these challenges can sometimes seem like a tall order, however, by integrating emerging insights from social neuroscience with real-world practice, we know genuine transformational change is more than possible. We are a collective of consultants actively spanning academia and real-world practice, dedicated to exploring precise and effective pathways of transformation through unlocking individual and collective potential.
Our Philosophy
We believe that there is more to people than they know and that everyone has the potential to go beyond expectations. We reject the idea that talent is innate and instead repeatedly demonstrate it arises from implicit cognitive patterns acquired largely by chance.
As a result, we explore the purposeful development of human conceptual and perceptual systems as the means to positively and sustainably transform individuals, organisations and wider social systems.
Our Vision
A world where exceptional becomes the new norm and where this abundance of talent is focused on doing the right thing.
Our Values
Integrity
We care deeply about achieving results that are valued and motivated by positive intent
Diversity
We believe perspectives can always be enriched. We value diversity of thought integrated through dialogue and experimentation
Ecology
We see the world as dynamic, complex and richly interconnected. We believe small actions at the right time and in the right place can have profound effects
Founders
Dr Mark Houghton
Co-developer of Expert Modelling methodology. I’m a cognitive psychologist with real-world leadership experience and a background in organisational change and development. My passion is to explore the embodied minds and contexts of brilliant people, the outliers, and then enabling others to experience the expansive possibilities that result from adopting similar ways of perceiving, thinking, feeling, and thus behaving. I have one foot in academia, where I’m working on the development and application of second-generation cognitive science in the field of heuristics and bias. My best thinking is done whilst running, sea swimming and walking with our dogs.
Lee eyre
Co-developer of Expert Modelling methodology. Addressing the complex challenges we now collectively face requires systemic transformation of many aspects of our organisations and societies. As a ‘pracademic’ I research developments in embodied cognitive science and apply them in real-world contexts to facilitate transformative change. If you hadn’t already guessed from the pic, my idea of heaven is a mountain, a blue-bird powder day and a snowboard.
