Polymaths

Polymaths is an innovation-consulting firm that helps organisations discover innovative solutions to complex problems, through complexity science thinking and the computational sciences. Our consultancy is designed to provide our clients with the breadth and depth of expertise necessary to make intellectual breakthroughs. We achieve this by identifying disciplines that together can bring a unique breadth and depth to understanding a problem. We then bring together dynamic researchers in those disciplines from academia and industry to discover novel solutions through the power of complexity science thinking. Consequently our consultants are either currently pursuing research in academia or are researchers who've left academia but continue their research in industry with Polymaths. All our consultants maintain an area of research either in academia or with Polymaths because our consulting model is designed to attain the highest level of knowledge and expertise. As a result we represent leading thinkers across disciplines. Our academic-industry research-consulting model places us at the frontier of intellectual discovery. Academic-industry research feeds into consulting projects and consulting projects feed back into exploratory research. This research loop is designed to enrich the conditions for intellectual discovery, and to accelerate the transition from exploratory research to practical applications. This is what enables us to be at the forefront of innovation. Polymaths has developed and evolved over a number of years, from traditional strategy consulting, incorporating complexity thinking, to being driven by complexity and the computational sciences. It is an exciting time as we charter new waters.
