Associates. John and Jules have built a network of contacts and potential collaborators in: sustainability auditing and policy consultants, sustainable product and service systems design, social venturing, organisational change consulting, academia, social movements, deep ecology, old and new media, sustainable materials research, finance, investment, law and many other fields. We ensure that we work with experts who also share our broad vision and cultural values.
Beyond. In time we intend to train and support a much wider group of GAIA process practitioners and affiliated consultancies. To this end we will take every opportunity to take on and train others to work with us on projects.
