About Us
Our Story
Picture a world where governments change direction erratically as a compass gone wild, where technology ignites like bursts of fireworks, economies reshape as malleable as play-dough, and business concepts appear and vanish quicker than the blink of an eye.
Yet, within this complexity, a visionary thinker armed with over two decades of experience in civil society in Africa nurtured a grand concept. In his journey, Arsene Ngombe recognized the limitations of interventions targeted at events on the surface, which he describes as symptoms of the real problems.

We need collaborative and innovative approaches to tackle the deeply complex and interconnected problems that we encounter
Our volatile and complex times demand fresh strategies and perspectives. Confluences of societal shifts, technological advancements, and economic dynamics are intertwining in unforeseen manners, continuously reshaping our perception of the world. The traditional methods for resolving significant complex challenges no longer apply in a world that is constantly evolving. In reality, they sometimes worsen the very issues they were designed to address. We are actively aspiring to take the lead in foreseeing this shift in values, and we are diligently making the necessary adjustments to position ourselves to capitalise on the opportunities that arise as a result. As a social impact network company, we collaborate with you to co-create and implement innovative impact projects, craft transformative strategies, and deliver capacity-building initiatives that are unique in your context, to address complex challenges.
