Seriously.

The more serious the problem that lands on your desk, the more seriously you need to play with it.

You can do that safely, on paper. Tease out the hidden variables, masked agendas, and surprising perspectives that can reconfigure your thinking. I mean, if you’re really serious about it.

We have helped teams at the Red Cross Climate Centre, Microsoft, World Bank, the Conference Board, Ethisphere, the United Nations Climate Conference, World Food Programme, Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and Korn Ferry grapple with many of the world’s most serious problems. We did it—rather, they did it—with pencil, paper, and play.

When you’re ready to get serious, give us a call. You’ll like what unfolds.

There is no formula for creative insight.

But there is a discipline.

There must be! New Yorker cartoons have consistently sparked insights for nearly a century. Twenty-first century science has shone enough light on how, that we could combine it with our professional experience to reverse engineer practical methods for non-cartoonists to generate their own insights in their own respective fields.

We teach managers to be better managers, humanitarians to be better humanitarians, economists to be better economists, all by thinking like cartoonists.

To be clear, we won’t teach you how to be artists or smart-alecks. We’ll teach you how to think—visually, meaningfully, playfully. Like smart-aleck artists. You will be able to do it quietly at your desk, or on the whiteboard with your team. To anyone passing by, it will look like you are working—because you are! You’re finding a new way to see—and share what you find in a way that others can feel.
