How We Work

At Incitāre International, we respond to global challenges by helping to reshape the systems that create them. Our work is grounded in four interconnected roles that enable us to build transformative partnerships, spark strategic innovation, and catalyse action across sectors and regions.

We deliver on these roles through:

  • Keynote speaking and thought leadership
  • Strategy workshops, foresight labs, and learning seminars
  • Global and regional convenings
  • Hands-on prototyping of SDG aligned models and systems, co-designed and tested with partners

Our greatest impact comes not just from influencing policy, but from co-creating bold, inclusive, and measurable solutions. Together with our partners, we are shaping a future where innovation serves people and planet, not just profit or power.


Advocacy & Influencing

For us, advocacy goes beyond lobbying or campaigning. It means influence with integrity, leveraging evidence, insights, and storytelling to shift mindsets, policies, and practice.

Our advocacy includes:

  • Evidence-based research to inform decision-makers and strengthen policy
  • Strategic communications to raise awareness and mobilise diverse stakeholders
  • Narrative shaping to spark new thinking and coordinated action

Our goal: to bridge the gap between knowledge and action, and to bring justice, equity, and sustainability to the heart of public and institutional discourse.


Partnering for Transformation

We see partnership brokering not as a transaction, but as a long-term process of accompaniment fostering trust, shared purpose, and lasting results.

We help partners to:

  • Bridge language, cultural, and conceptual divides across disciplines and sectors
  • Co-create shared purpose between unlikely allies
  • Move beyond compromise to discover innovative, values-aligned alternatives

Our approach is rooted in relational intelligence, empathy, and fairness ensuring that partnerships are not only formed, but flourish.

Coaching for Change

At Incitāre, coaching is both a professional discipline and a relational practice. Our coaches bring expertise, empathy, and insight to help individuals and teams lead with clarity and confidence.

We support:

  • Leaders navigating complexity and uncertainty
  • Teams strengthening capacity for systems change
  • Organisations aligning work with values and long-term vision

Whether with executives, social entrepreneurs, or multi-stakeholder groups, our focus is on enabling transformational impact, not just incremental progress.


Strategic Foresight & Futures Thinking

In today’s world of uncertainty, foresight is essential. We equip partners with tools to anticipate change, adapt quickly, and act decisively.

Our futures work includes:

  • Horizon scanning to identify early signals of change
  • Trend analysis to reveal deeper patterns shaping society, industries, and regions
  • Scenario planning to map possible futures
  • Backcasting and future-back thinking to identify today’s actions that create tomorrow’s outcomes

This enables organisations to move from reaction to readiness and from short-term fixes to long-term transformation.

Accountability for Transformation

For us, accountability is more than compliance, it’s about ensuring our actions align with mission, values, and impact goals. We view accountability as a dynamic, relationship-centered process that builds trust, promotes shared ownership, and drives continuous improvement.

Our approach includes:

  • Audits, performance reviews, and open feedback mechanisms
  • Tools that help partners learn, adapt, and grow
  • Relational analytics and futures thinking to re-imagine what accountability looks like in practice

At its core, our accountability framework emphasises purpose, transparency, and transformation placing communities, collaborators, and affected populations at the center of decision-making.
