Strategic Design For Living Systems
At Cense, we help health and human service leaders design for impact. We specialize in strategic design for health, health promotion, and wellbeing—bringing clarity, creativity, and confidence to complex challenges. We design for living systems, not static ones. Our clients need to deal with complexity rather than design around it and we help them to do it.
Clarifying strategy, developing strategic plans, enhancing your services to deliver on that plan, evaluating it, innovating, learning, and translating your actions into organizational and health impact is what we do.
In a world of uncertainty, disruption, and rapid change, strong systems don’t happen by chance—they happen by design. We work alongside our clients as trusted partners, helping them build resilient organizations, shape better futures, and achieve meaningful, measurable impact.
Our approach combines systems thinking, behavioural science, evidence generation, and strategic foresight to support transformation at every level—from individuals and teams to organizations and communities. We focus on living systems and the real-world conditions that influence leaders’ efforts to promote and deliver services for health and wellbeing – within and beyond the organization.
We bring more than 25 years experience in healthcare, public health, health services, social innovation and evaluation.
Whether you’re building strategy, leading change, or cultivating innovation, we offer practical tools, training, and insights that come through strategic design. Our Credentialed Evaluation services support the evidence you need to demonstrate impact and learn. We bring it all together.
