Who we are and how we work
Because business as usual is no longer an attractive option
We are courageous, unafraid to challenge the status quo; collaborative, mutually reinforcing in all of our relationships; and ingenious, always working to make complexity more understandable and generate positive actions.
We aim to be effortlessly effective. We are a 4-day a week employer allowing everyone in the organisation time for wellness and mental health, when people bring their best selves and highest levels of creativity to do the best work of their careers and have fun doing it.
We embrace life long learning and curiosity, self reflection and critical thinking.
We can only do our work with humility, being honest and respectful with each other and the communities we work alongside, and we are completely committed to diversity.
As a networked organisation, we believe we work better than traditional organisations. We communicate well, rely on trust and integrity, as well as shared leadership, responsibilities and objectives, and always foster positive, beneficial interactions.

The team
Our growing team operates within a governance structure of world-leading expertise. Together, we foster a collaborative, emergent and inclusive working environment to balance global reach with leading-edge practice.
We are used to rapidly deploying expertise and resources to address city-region challenges around the globe and deliver positive outcomes.
We always collaborate and innovate to empower the Resilience Brokers Network to deliver our shared vision. Our preferred legal approach is alliance contracting, which ensures there is collective ownership of projects.Â

How it began

Peter Head
I went on to lead a long list of sustainable development projects, including eco-cities in China. But time and again, I felt we were falling short of delivering the impact we could achieve because we could not demonstrate long-term economic benefit.
I kept quizzing world-leading experts, at events and conferences, on the reasons why nobody seemed to be addressing existing challenges and coming up with a sound plan, capable of delivering more inclusive resilient solutions at the systems level. Until one day at a conference in Hong Kong, when I had asked this again, someone in the audience said:
Why donât you do something about it, Mr. Head?
We continue to grow and work with the Resilience Brokers Network to build on the strengths of city regions, including young leaders, to improve ecological and human health, and infrastructure productivity, to steer towards the Global Goals and beyond. Together, we can mobilise billions of people and unlock and redirect trillions in investment and finance into city-regions to build a better future for generations to come. A future built on equal opportunity, justice, dignity and shared prosperity for all.
