Strategy Practice for Organizational Transformation
.01 strategy
What We Do
FormWave designs resilient organizations by aligning strategy, brand, leadership, culture, teams, and systems, with AI applied only where it creates synergy, not complexity, by taking a whole system view.
We triangulate signals across:
- Organizational anthropology — how work actually happens
- Branding — the stories and meaning that drive behavior
- Systems & design — the infrastructure that scales intelligence
- AI Governance — compliance over risk and impact over complexity
In short, we teach organizations to become their strategy.
.02 value
The Science Behind it
Our approach is grounded in collective intelligence because we’ve seen it work in practice, and because it’s been studied for years by institutions like the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence.
Collective intelligence shows that “groups of emotionally intelligent people, supported by well-designed systems and machines, consistently outperform individuals acting alone”.
Collective intelligence is the underlying principle behind positive org culture, high-performing teams, and resilience.
We believe that collective intelligence is the greatest value proposition of AI.
.03 emergence
Why It Matters
Culture is the hidden constraint on performance—and the deciding factor in whether AI amplifies value or dysfunction. When people and machines are aligned, organizations learn faster, reduce risk, and build resilience rather than create friction.
Organizations transform and entropy becomes emergence.
.04 outcomes
Why We Do It
Our work is grounded in four core beliefs, we believe in:
- The power of stories to shape meaning and behavior
- The potential of AI for good when designed with intention
- The human pursuit of meaning as a driver of performance
- The value of functional organizations for everyone
