Work formats
Concrete formats for questions that standard processes do not solve.
Tetranomics work formats help leadership teams structure important questions, include relevant perspectives, build Knowledge Spaces and prepare better decisions: compact, confidential and tailored to the situation.
From the first thinking space to a cognitive workbench.
Why work formats
Not every question needs the same frame.
Some strategic questions can be sharpened in a compact workshop. Others need a repeatable process, a company-specific Knowledge Space or a cognitive workbench of their own.
Our formats are not standard packages. They are structured entry points into protected thinking and decision spaces, adapted to the question, the organization and the moment in which a decision must be made.
The format follows the question. Not the other way around.
Strategizing & Future Fitness
Strategy work for organizations that cannot wait for stable conditions.
Many organizations today need not just a new strategy, but a new ability to strategize: to recognise signals, test assumptions, develop options and continuously adapt decisions to changing conditions.
Strategizing
Continuous strategy work for turbulent times. Tetranomics helps leadership teams recognise signals earlier, test assumptions continuously, develop Option Spaces and stay capable of acting.
- Format: sprint, recurring sessions or strategic process
- Duration: modular
- For whom: executive management, strategy, transformation, innovation
Partnership in Thinking
A curated thinking space for a concrete leadership question. Tetranomics brings together relevant experts, systemic methods, Daphne and the right Knowledge Spaces to connect perspectives and open first solution spaces.
- Format: executive workshop
- Duration: usually 1 day
- For whom: boards, executive management, strategy, innovation and transformation teams
For more complex questions, Strategizing can be supported by cognitive workbenches such as the TetraSuite.
Understand cognitive workbenchesCognitive Workbenches
When complex thinking needs a visible structure.
Cognitive workbenches are visual working environments that make central thinking steps in complex decision processes visible. They connect Knowledge Spaces, Daphne, modular process steps and human judgement.
The workbench makes the thinking process visible. Daphne brings in relevant knowledge. The decision stays with people.
TetraSuite
Cognitive workbench for future-fit strategizing.
The TetraSuite connects economic, ecological, social and knowledge-based perspectives in a modular strategic decision process. It can support strategizing, QMA follow-up processes and multi-dimensional future work.
Thriving in Turbulent Times
Cognitive workbench for PE, M&A and portfolio management.
A cognitive workbench for investment, M&A and portfolio decisions in turbulent markets. It connects financial, strategic, cultural and systemic perspectives in a protected reasoning process.
Future fitness, value creation & impact
Work on future fitness as a strategic value-creation question.
Tetranomics does not treat ecological, societal, technological and economic change as an isolated compliance exercise. We help organizations turn it into strategic opportunities, innovation fields, resilience and positive impact.
Future Fitness Booster Day
A compact in-house workshop that makes future fitness concrete: from relevant changes to strategic opportunities, innovation fields, value creation and positive impact.
- Format: in-house workshop
- Duration: 1 day
- For whom: executive management, strategy, innovation, sustainability, procurement, sales, finance, controlling
Typical result: A strategic map of relevant future topics, opportunities, risks, innovation fields and next steps.
Quadruple Materiality Assessment
A strategically extended materiality assessment connecting four perspectives: risks, opportunities, negative impact and positive contribution to solutions.
- Format: analysis sprint
- Duration: typically 1–2 weeks
- For whom: strategy, sustainability, risk, transformation, executive management
Clarification: Complements, validates and deepens existing CSRD-oriented analyses, without being positioned as a legal substitute for regulatory assessments.
Silent Stakeholder Perspectives
Bring in perspectives that matter for decisions, but rarely sit at the table.
Some stakeholders are decisive for strategic decisions even though they cannot speak in the room themselves. Tetranomics develops formats in which such perspectives are scientifically curated, contextualised and brought in constructively.
Nature in the Boardroom
Nature as a scientifically curated voice in the strategic decision room. Gaia makes nature-related risks, dependencies and opportunities visible.
- Format: lighthouse project / working space
- Duration: depends on the question
- For whom: boards, strategy, risk, innovation, sustainability
Future Generations in the Boardroom
Future generations as a perspective on long-term thinking, responsibility, scenarios and the consequences of today's decisions.
- Format: silent-stakeholder session
- Duration: usually 0.5–1 day
- For whom: boards, strategy, governance, transformation, sustainability
Indigenous Knowledge Perspectives
A format to be built carefully, bringing in local, indigenous and context-bound knowledge perspectives only where they are opened up with suitable expertise, sound governance and respect for origin, rights and context.
- Status: in development
- For whom: supply chains, biodiversity, land use, raw materials, local transformation questions
In interplay
Work formats are concrete entry points into the Tetranomics system.
Each work format connects the right frame, the relevant knowledge base and targeted support from Daphne. Depending on the question, the result is a compact workshop, a strategic sprint, a repeatable process or a cognitive workbench.
Working spaces
The protected frame in which leadership teams work on complex questions.
Knowledge Spaces
The relevant knowledge base of documents, data, experience, perspectives and external expertise.
Daphne
The Cognitive Companion who brings knowledge into the decisive moment.
Option Spaces
The emerging solution and decision spaces where teams explore options, scenarios and consequences.
Next step
Which format fits your question?
Let us clarify together whether your challenge needs a compact workshop, a strategic sprint, a silent-stakeholder session or a cognitive workbench.
Many of our collaborations begin not with a finished project, but with the question of which thinking space is the right one.
