about us
ThE TASC Platform Fosters constructive dialogue, collective sensemaking and collaboration on large-scale societal transitions.
We offer a trusted space for moving beyond institutional positions, building dynamism into challenging exchanges and sparking transformative solutions.
Equipping policymakers and changemakers to manage uncertainty
Massive, simultaneous and interconnected transitions are affecting lives, shifting politics and heightening uncertainty at a global scale. In this context, policymakers are struggling to navigate disruption, keep pace with innovation, and fulfil their critical role as stewards of social wellbeing and development.
These dynamics risk deepening social inequalities, damaging public trust and leaving individuals, communities and countries less prepared for the significant changes ahead. There is an urgent need for a shift in policy approaches to uncertainty and transitions.
For human-centered transitions
We believe that dialogue and cooperation can and should strengthen in response to societal change. We work with policymakers and changemakers to ensure the governance of societal change remains human-centered: prioritizing and protecting human rights, skills, wellbeing, and agency, and enabling society to thrive through transitions.
Our Approach: The change exchange
Our unique approach equips policymakers with new momentum, mindsets and models to manage uncertainty and steer human-centred transitions.
Through an integrated cycle, diverse perspectives are brought into the conversation, collectively analyzed and reframed, and translated into actionable policy insights, tools and solutions.
-
Convene relevant policymakers, experts and under-represented voices to engage beyond comfort zones, surface insights and challenge assumptions on transitions.
-
Apply a multi-disciplinary toolkit - including collective intelligence, behavioural science, systems thinking and foresight - to explore new connections and reframe complex challenges.
-
Develop tools and guidance that enable policymakers to expand collective action with adaptive, human-centred responses to transitions.
Connecting research, policy and practice
Strategically located in International Geneva, home to the world’s largest concentration of international organizations and diplomatic missions, we bring together a diverse, multi-stakeholder community at the heart of global efforts to drive positive societal change.
As an independent body supported by the Government of Switzerland and embedded in the Center for Trade and Economic Integration (CTEI) of the Geneva Graduate Institute, we leverage the latest thinking in the academic world and embrace a culture of openness, critical thinking, and global cooperation.
