We are bundling multiple competencies in one holistic process. 
        From desirable futures, to valuable ventures, to experiental realities.          We guide like a light cone through the dark.

Steering from imagination to impact

Navigating between possibility and reality to reach change.



In a world of polycrises and constant change, it's easy to feel paralyzed. Traditional business models are hard to navigate, but at Studio Y-si, we turn uncertainty into a desire for a better tomorrow. We guide businesses through the winds of social and sustainable change, helping them transform pressure into progress. Together, we steer towards a future where people, planet, and profit work in harmony.

In order to better understand the distant, the abstract and the amount of possible futures, we have to design it and not let it happen. We need to move in the space of possibility and reality in order to design our futures. The possible that grows from market-changing obstacles to navigation points of opportunity. We use all of this to design possible scenarios on the map of the future to reach our desirable destination.

Once we have illuminated the horizon and opened up the space of possibilities, it is time to chart our course toward a regenerative future. This course, represented by our business model, is both clear and adaptable, allowing us to navigate through economic and social changes. More than just visions, we need precise and viable business models that form the foundation for future regenerative endeavors.

And now the real journey begins: from determining the location to determining the destination, it's all about building an tangible bridge from tomorrow to today. Images of the future have opened up a realm of possibilities that we make tangible today. Our solutions are our gliding speedboats to connect the waypoints of possible futures and impactful ventures through digital experiences. This is where the moments are created that become memories and make the essential unique.

And here we are at the end of our journey. Not quite. Now it’s time to refelct. Because reflection creates resilience. And we need resilience in order to be prepared for the next challenges, the next economic and social weather changes, for which we will then be prepared with greater foresight. And we can readjust our compass. Have we really managed to keep planet, people and profit in harmony? Have we managed to navigate in a space from possibility to reality, transforming imagination into impact?

Designing futures

What

To make the world a better place, we need to anticipate and shape our futures. By navigating the space between possibility and reality, we can transform market-changing obstacles into opportunities and chart a course toward desirable destinations. To do this, we must develop strong narratives and tangible experiences that immerse us in the unknown and help us imagine the possible. Images of the future are as diverse as the people who envision them, which is why it is crucial to create a shared vision — one that enables us to sketch and build a common world for tomorrow.

Why

Futures never happen but are always the result of active design. The development of future images and scenarios therefore helps us to sketch out futures based on trends and signals in the way we imagine them. Future scenarios that can be experienced have an incredible power to project people into a world that has not yet taken place.

1.2 Plotting the course

Designing ventures

What

To actively shape this better version of the future, we need more than visions and images of the future. We need to become one level more precise. We need viable business models that form a foundation for future regenerative endeavours. We believe that business modelling can be done quickly and must be much more than that. That is why we have developed Venture Sprints.

Why

Why should I expand or realign my business model? Regulation and competitive pressure are just a few of the countless factors impacting traditional business models. We show that innovation and regenerative business models must be at odds with profitability and develop new ventures that are fit for the future.

1.3 Bridging tomorrow to today

Designing experiences

What

However, in order to offer people concrete solutions based on the regenerative business model, tangible products and services are needed. Digital products that generate real added value and leave the status quo better than before. In order to quickly translate ideas into prototypes and then validate them, we at Studio Y-si have developed design sprints that do exactly that.

Why

Good design is the tangible formulation of our values and the visualization of our identity. Design creates orientation and credibly conveys our positioning and future viability. Good design is holistic, conveys a uniqueness in perception but also in the way it solves problems better than the competition. Good design is the connection between your brand and your costumer, which turns perception into memories.
