A new kind of change agency.
For a new kind of challenge...

We are creative change-makers working with organisations and individuals to design better business models built for genuinely sustainable outcomes.

We design and deliver innovation engagements focused on today’s greatest challenges – climate change, sustainability, volatility – helping clients respond at speed and scale.

OUR APPROACH

Beyond carbon & climate:
From footprint to impact…

In the age of climate change, carbon emissions have become the defining metric. But an overfocus on your footprint means you miss out on other important issues…

Our approach helps put carbon in context with all the other elements – energy, economy, ethics, demographics – that form the emerging new business environment.

OUR SERVICES

1. Innovation for Impact:

Working with organisations

We design & deliver bespoke programmes to educate, engage, inspire and unlock innovation, helping address sustainability challenges and opportunities.

Programmes can be adapted to broaden employee engagement or to deepen understanding and awareness among a smaller subset of stakeholders.

2. Impact for Individuals:

Working with changemakers

For climate-conscious entrepreneurs and C-suite executives we offer one-to-one mentoring, coaching, training, sounding board and advisory services in sustainable issues.

We help develop valuable insights to craft an effective personal perspective rooted in a deeper understanding of climate change and related realities.

3. Industrial Scale Impact:

Cross-sector collaboration

The biggest challenges facing business and society must be tackled at the broadest systemic level – that means finding new ways to come together and form new networks.

We work within specific industry sectors, via trade bodies or membership organizations, developing synergies and fostering collaboration on common challenges.

4. Impact Imagined:

Communications & collateral

Changing hearts and minds is only half the battle. New ideas need to be brought to life with words and pictures, creative content and media, internal and external comms.

Novara Labs and partners have extensive experience in this aspect of change-making for impact, from creative concepts through to physical production across all channels.
