We Run Breakthrough Missions

Where systems aren’t shifting - in areas such as climate, peace, health, or livelihoods - we run missions directly. We work with partners to help them see what is really going on, bring unlikely allies together, build powerful coalitions, and create the conditions for breakthrough. Every mission is different, but the aim is always the same: to unlock progress where the old way of working is no longer enough.

Advocating & Training the Method

Our purpose is simple: to enable thousands of leaders, practitioners and communities to deliver Spiral Breakthroughs wherever they are needed.

How we’re building the movement
I. We build the capability for system change
Transformation depends on the people leading it. We help leaders, teams, and communities develop the capabilities needed to work across whole systems - from convening unlikely allies, to shifting culture, to designing the moments that move a mission forward. Many people joint the Bridge Insitute guild, which introduces the Spiral Breakthrough in practice. From there, they take the work into missions or into their own organisations, sectors, and countries.

II. We create tools that travel

For change to scale, the work must be usable beyond us. We turn our mission experience into digital and analogue tools, frameworks, guidance, and assets that help governments, organisations, and communities apply the Spiral Breakthrough in their own context.

Each mission strengthens these tools - enabling the next one to go further.

III. We learn together
We work with researchers, practitioners, and partners across sectors to deepen the field and strengthen the practice of solving complex problems.

Together, we:
Study what works
Contribute to global research
Publish insights
Strengthen collective impact
IV. We Inspire Hope
Many people feel today’s problems are too big to solve or believe the responsibility lies only with governments.

We work to shift that narrative. We highlight what is possible, share hopeful stories of change, and build a global movement of leaders who believe a better future is within reach.
Who We Work With
We work across sectors and boundaries, partnering with:
Governments and public institutions
Businesses and investors
Civil society organisations and communities
Researchers and academic institutions
Funders and mission partners

Whether you are working inside a mission, leading change in your organisation, or seeking to support systemic transformation, we would love to explore what’s possible together.
