Our Mission
To help leaders cultivate systemic change through custom human-centric solutions, informed by behavioral science, systems modeling, and intelligence-driven diagnostics.
We provide proprietary data, advanced modeling tools, and proven methods to protect the good, the true, and the beautiful.
Analyze
Complex and complicated human systems at multiple levels of scale. Taking culture, language, and belief into account.
model
Multi-Level interventions and transformations in order to identify the optimal node(s) for influence given time, resource constraints, and intent.
implement
By crafting discreet nudges and intentional strategy to create desired systemic change efficiently, effectively, and ethically.
Our Name
The word Metanoia stems from Greek, carrying a profound weight of meaning. It is born from Meta, signifying "after," "beyond," or "changed," and -noia, derived from the Greek nous (νοῦς) for "mind" or "thought."
Together, Metanoia encapsulates semantic meanings like a changed mind, an altered thought, or moving beyond the mind. While traditionally interpreted as a total transformation in thinking and behavior for an individual, we must ask:
What if change is not solely an individual endeavor?
We exist within intricate webs of relation.
The forest is an ecological system. The human body is a complex adaptive system. A family, an organization, a society—all function as complex systems that continually interact and shape one another in a non-linear fashion.
If change is to be deep and systemic, we must consider both the individual and the collective. How can we intentionally influence the shared "mind" or focus of these interconnected systems?To fight back at a world that is clawing for your attention, that is trying to form you in it’s own image.
Trying to win you over.
Trying to manipulate you.
Sell to you.
Control you
Many of the tools available for leaders, organizations, and individuals attempt to reduce the human experience to something that can be programmed, a set of inputs and outputs.
But you are not a machine.
You have agency.
Others have agency.
Whether you are running a company, a town, an online community, or a house of worship, the temptation can be to coerce, manipulate, or otherwise treat our humanity as the problem.
Metanoia Systems exists to give you the tools to build dynamic, functional systems which are about collaboration and cooperation in community. Without sacrificing a human-centric approach.
We are developing a comprehensive theory of influence that merges psychology, system dynamic theory, philosophy, and neuroscience, to create system design principles that enable influence of human behavior, integration of the natural environment, and incorporation of digital tools without being coercive, manipulative, or unethical.
