Our Thinking
Roots & Futures develops ideas, frameworks and insights that help organisations and places make better long-term decisions.
Our thinking is shaped by lived experience, deep local knowledge and a commitment to regeneration that works for people and place — not just policy cycles or short-term outcomes.
Our thinking sits at the intersection of people, place and long-term change. We explore how local economies grow, how leadership is practiced in complexity, and how investment, decision-making and collaboration can support regeneration that lasts.
This work informs everything we do — from advisory support and research to programmes, tools and events.
Developed Through Practice
Over time, our work has developed into a small number of practical frameworks — shaped through collaboration with organisations, communities and partners navigating complexity and long-term change.
These frameworks help translate place-based thinking into action, supporting strategic clarity, learning and decision-making in specific contexts.
