It is a beautiful, visual metaphor that fits the spirit of human-centered design, empathy and co-creation.

Oceanic Circles has a strong bias for action research for data and contextual insights to develop better understanding of problems. We don't treat research as an end but as a means to drive innovation. Coupled with deep ethnography we also conduct trends analysis to gain better understanding of horizons to make informed decisions.

"I used to think the top environmental problems were biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and climate change. I thought that with 30 years of good science we could address those problems. But I was wrong. The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed and apathy; and to deal with those we need a spiritual and cultural transformation and we scientists don’t know how to do that.”
