   Epic Decade

   Jan 2011 — Present

   Epic Decade has taken on some of the most audacious business, public health, and environmental challenges of our time. The studio’s philosophy and process are rooted in the belief that essential questioning is the catalyst to resilient value creation. Applying a diverse framework that blends design thinking, business innovation and cultural storytelling, Epic Decade has partnered with Apple Retail to redesign the employee experience globally; established a new business operating system and small business training program for American Express; led a network of organizations that included GE, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and PepsiCo to rethink our definition of “wellness” in the new century; developed a long-term vision for sustainability in the $1.3 trillion Oil Sands industry in Northern Alberta, Canada that was embraced by indigenous leaders, oil executives and government officials; and created the cultural “Make It Yours” program that converted a failed tourism campaign into a crowd-sourced reboot for collective storytelling. What began as a bespoke studio of creative strategists, has grown into a convener of more than leaders in forums called IDEAS Salons. Attended by Nobel Prize winners, senators and executives from companies such as Pfizer, Google, Amazon, IBM, Mercedes Benz, Disney, Oprah Winfrey Network, Harvard University, Kaiser Permanente, the Department of Defense, and more, the salons are a blend between an artistic theater and think tank for business and social innovation. As the studio completes its 10th anniversary in 2021, the team is applying its signature inquiry methodology to imagine its own business reinvention. The next decade for the studio is propelled by a sense of purpose and civic responsibility and will unfold as part cultural think tank, part experiential learning lab, and part retail store.
