Where the belief comes from, and why Forge exists at all.
Most organisations attempt to improve people.
We begin by improving the environment.
We believe better environments produce better decisions. Better decisions produce better behaviours. Better behaviours produce better performance. Better performance leaves a lasting legacy.
Not because they lack information. Because they inhabit environments that repeatedly produce the same outcomes. Forge changes the environment before it attempts to change the individual.
Every environment is teaching something.
A workplace teaches what is valued. A classroom teaches what matters. A family teaches what is normal. A sports team teaches what is acceptable.
Most environments are designed by habit. Forge believes they should be designed by purpose.
Human beings are adaptive. We continuously adjust to the conditions around us, the environment becomes the curriculum.
This is the cycle Forge seeks to understand and intentionally shape.
