WHAT WE DO
We manage change processes guided by a living systems perspective
At Lúcida, we share the understanding of how living systems - such as nature, culture and the human being - operate, and we co-create processes to develop capabilities - such as critical and systemic thinking, flexibility of perspective, and conscious participation- so that each entity (whether person, team, organization or community) can better manage itself and her context, leading to more enlightened and creative choices in achieving their larger goals and purposes.
We promote the development of methodologies that allow to review the status quo, redefine purposes for the future, strategically empower people, teams and leaders, and co-create living and generative processes based on a systemic understanding of the challenges. This will make it possible to understand what needs to be done to better align personal and organizational development with desired values and results, as well as trigger clear actions or dynamics that generate new value to the larger system where it operates and from which it benefits (value chain, sector, territory, community…).

What guides our thinking, design and action
At Lúcida, we have a well-defined core way of thinking, being and acting, which reflects the change that we believe is fundamental to enact in the world. This change is what we seek to catalyze with our work.
MAIN BELIEF
From the mechanistic perspective
that sees the world as parts, linear, controllable and anthropocentric
Into a living systems perspective
that sees the world as a whole, interdependent, complex, dynamic, emergent and ecocentric
ACTING PRINCIPLES
From being consultants and telling how to act
Into supporting the development of new thinking and capabilities
From working with abstract and generic concepts and ideas
Into using people’s and organization’s concrete experience and context
From importing thinking and replicate good practices
Into rigorously co-creating thinking that is alive and can lead to new pathways
our services
We work with mental processes and collaborative tools that allow us to see both externally - our behaviours and activities - and internally - our thinking and inner life that influence the way we feel and act.
We design services and deliverables tailored to the unique needs and characteristics of our customers, partners and the systems in which they operate. We do not believe in providing answers for those we serve. Rather, we surface questions and patterns that promote awareness and learning with the aim of developing agency in one’s thinking, actions and the results achieved.
Below are some examples of how we have worked with teams, organizations, consortia, communities or networks:
- Transformative and future purposes definition
- Reflexive and strategic capacity-building in project leaders and teams
- Pattern identification and systematization that limit and enhance the desired change
- Systemic sense-making and insight generation that support key interventions in the organization
- Immersive experience development in a local context as a way to understand sustainability as a whole
- Design and capacity-building of collaborative processes, both internal and external with partners and stakeholders
