Impact stories

Global NGO

The Calouste-Gul­bekian Foun­da­tion gathered 12 NGOs under the Marine Col­Lab umbrella to cre­ate impact that is more than its parts in com­mu­ni­cat­ing the Value of the Oceans.

They part­nered with fo.am and The Inno­va­tion Cun­sul­tancy to cre­ate a win­ning team that pro­duced a chal­leng­ing roadmap of projects and deliv­ered their first high impact one: #One­Less a sin­gle-use, plas­tic-bot­tle free Lon­don and are cur­rently incu­bat­ing their next high impact projects.

We did this through a series of facil­i­tated days and work­shops, through­out 2015 and into 2016, that helped cre­ate a closely knit­ted team out of the group of senior lead­ers of the 12 NGOs. We worked with fo.am’s col­lab­o­ra­tive lab­o­ra­tory approach, to help dis­till the mis­sion and a vision that focuses on the sweet spot where all their indi­vid­ual organ­i­sa­tion can max­imise value from work­ing together.

The World Steel Association’s pres­ti­gious annual con­fer­ence is where global senior lead­ers come together to hear about the lat­est on global steel mar­ket trends net­work with other global steel executives.

The World Steel Association prestigious annual conference, is a place where global senior leaders are coming together. The World Steel Association has repeatedly sought our experience and expertise in working with culturally and professional diverse groups, to support them facilitate and inspire the 30 or so participants, coming from countries as diverse as the USA, Latin America, Middle East and Asia, for three days of leadership and innovation growth.

We have delivered with them in Beijing and Europe and continue to partner for their forthcoming events.

Business Schools such as Duke CE and Antwerp Management School also use this expertise to deliver innovation programmes globally. For example, we worked with a global engineering company, by developing the potential of teams in China to design for the local markets.and create growth through locally designed products and services in their Asia markets, going from “made in China” to “designed in China”.

Janssen part­nered with us in 2013 want­ing to bring their med­ical mate­ri­als and med­ical pro­fes­sion­als edu­ca­tion to the 21st century.

Together we deliv­ered a library of inter­ac­tive 3D books, that use vir­tual real­ity, ani­ma­tion and inter­ac­tive iBooks to tell the story of dis­ease and med­i­cine. Highly spe­cialised, full of infor­ma­tion, incor­po­rat­ing aca­d­e­mic sources and clin­i­cal tri­als, pro­vide a wealth of infor­ma­tion in visu­ally com­pelling and inter­ac­tive ways, incor­po­rat­ing active ques­tion­naires and vir­tual real­ity ani­ma­tions of how dis­ease works and the impact of medicines.

Leadership coaching

We Coach one-to-one and teams to deliver impact through visionary leadership and team innovation. 

Through coaching we empower leaders in Save The Children since 2014 to drive strategic vision, engage and inspire teams and create efficiencies through innovative thinking. We believe in partnering with organisations around coaching, and we feel that our contribution through coaching could enable leaders to have a ripple effect positively contributing to devoted leaders of this global NGO.

In 2015 we brought together a group of 20 senior leaders, from artists to artistic directors of some of the most prestigious flemish cultural organisations. These were leaders and artists that have been coached over the past five years through an innovative coaching programme supported by fo.am and the flemish government. Together we explore how by aligning hearts and minds it is possible to create impact in the broader communities, their organisations and the cultural sectors.
