We uncovered a local community’s role for future crisis response

Client: OXFAM Intermon

By understanding and sharing the lessons learned, we aimed to foster greater recognition, support, and collaboration with local community organizations in addressing health challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.

We designed an evidence-based model to prevent gender violence

Client: CLADEM

We took the challenge to imagine an nation-wide intervention model for the prevention of violence against women.

Our team collected inspiration from Arequipa, Chachapoyas, Cusco, Huancayo, Lima, Piura, Tarapoto and Trujillo, by conducting +190 household surveys, 10 focus groups with women’s grassroots organizations and NGOs, and 50 interviews with civil servants and media agents.

We delivered MICA.

We prototyped and tested a behavioral science experiment using nudges to help entrepreneurs access and use financial products

Client: IEP

We were approached to help a Peruvian start-up explored the needs of the latinamerican digital talent.

We conducted a series of remote interviews with latinamerican young leaders working in global companies, and analized public data to make sense of the rapid changes in educational needs.

We connect
life-long learners

During the pandemic, we assembled a two-person team to dig deep into the experience of bright students going throught the college experience.

As a result, we uncovered opportunities to shift from emergency remote teaching to digital-first learning experiences, and we prioritized the one that allows to shape a post-pandemic college education.
