• Create space and time for discovery and adventure to explore and innovate (peer reviews – R & D)
• Crises create Opportunities to make more impact, due to the Butterfly effect
• Seek out the Adjacent Possible – what niches are similar and so viable to explore: http://agilelifestyle.net/the-adjacent-possible
• Strive to be Transformative where appropriate, solve design challenges as if they’re wicked problems
• Seek out and actually address relevant Wicked Problems as means to demonstrate capability, positioning and raise profile
• Seek to always add societal and economic value to make our cities more EcoLivable
