Work With Us

Roots & Futures works with organisations, leaders and communities navigating complexity, transition and long-term decision-making. 

Every engagement is shaped around the people, place and challenge at hand. There is no fixed model — the work is responsive, considered and designed to support meaningful long-term outcomes.

Who We Work With

Roots & Futures works with organisations, leaders and partnerships who are grappling with complexity, transition or long-term strategic questions.


This includes:
 

  • public sector organisations

  • social enterprises and mission-led organisations

  • community-led and place-based partnerships

  • leaders working across systems and sectors
     

If you’re looking for thoughtful, grounded support — rather than off-the-shelf solutions — our work may be a good fit.
