Complex development challenges demand collaborative, dynamic, multidisciplinary approaches to research and practice. How We Adapt exists as a platform to convene the right team of thinkers and doers from our network of sustainable development professionals. Project teams are thoughtfully assembled to bring complementary skills together in optimal configurations.  Our problem-driven approach means every project is uniquely crafted to our clients' and partners' needs. We provide a range of sustainable development services and solutions.

 

How We Adapt was established by Lauren Hermanus in South Africa as a response to the need for alternatives to the rigidity of template-driven advisory services for sustainable development. It was conceived as a virtual space in which diverse, progressive researchers and development practitioners could come together to collaborate for maximum collective impact. Informed by complex systems thinking, How We Adapt is able to work internationally, drawing on a constantly expanding network of creative professionals with different expertise and experience in academia, government, NGOs and civil society, and the private sector.

 

How We Adapt is registered in South Africa and is a BBBEE empowered organization.
