CHÔRA Foundation
Who are we?
CHÔRA was founded with the intent to operate as a non-profit Stichting holding itself accountable to its long-term objectives as stipulated in the Deeds of Incorporation (English version/Dutch version) of the Foundation and the ANBI requirements.
As per Article 3 of our Statutes, the objective of the Foundation is to help people and organisations in a world of rapidly increasing complexity through strategic and transformative innovation, with the aim to promote environmental protection and the well being of mankind in the broad sense by achieving socio-economic impact in the field of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
The Foundation attempts to achieve these objects, among other things, by:
– the creation of an open and dynamic multi-sided platform, a Space FORM called ‘CHÔRA’, that at its core has a Strategic Design capability that seeds and structures Portfolios of Innovation Options where learning activities and sensemaking protocols generate intelligence that feeds into strategic arguments to support innovation and transformational intents and to design pathways of execution;
– the holding, further development and dissemination of a conceptual framework for Strategic Innovation and System Transformation and of the processes and tools that will ensure its effective application to renewal and development problems and intents at a global and local level;
– the promotion of educational programs and experiences to develop skills, capabilities and leadership mindsets that can support access to and use of the Strategic Innovation Framework.
