How we work

Analyze | model | implemenT | Educate

We help our clients analyze their problem.
Model the system to discover intervention points.
implement discreet solutions at the point of greatest leverage
Educate executives, leaders, and the workforce.

01

Analyze

Complex and complicated human systems at multiple levels of scale, taking culture, language, and belief into account rather than treating them as noise.

02

Model

Multi-level interventions and transformations to identify the optimal nodes for influence given the time, the resource constraints, and the intent you have.

03

Implement

Discreet nudges and intentional strategy that produce the desired systemic change efficiently, effectively, and ethically.

04

Educate

Resillient human systems require constant investment in the people within them. We support multi-level edcuation, from executives to teams.

Our name

Metanoia

The word Metanoia stems from Greek, carrying a profound 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. Though traditionally it is 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?

Why we exist

You are not a machine.

Many of the tools available to leaders, organizations, and individuals attempt to reduce human experience to something that can be programmed. A set of inputs and outputs.

You have agency. Others have agency. Whether you are running a company, a town, an online community, or a house of worship, the temptation is to coerce, to manipulate, to treat our humanity as the problem to be engineered around.

Metanoia Systems exists to give you the tools to build dynamic, functional systems that run on collaboration and cooperation in community, without sacrificing a human-centric approach.

What we are building

A theory of influence.

We are developing a comprehensive theory of influence that merges psychology, system dynamics, philosophy, and neuroscience into a set of system design principles.

Those principles are meant to enable influence of human behavior, integration of the natural environment, and incorporation of digital tools, without being coercive, manipulative, or unethical. That last clause is the hard part, and it is the reason the work exists.
