LIMINALITY—
A SPACE CREATED FOR TRIANGULATING YOUR EXIT STRATEGY.
Join us between two worlds for a breather and navigate to a safe path beyond the chaos.
Where Local Action Meets Global Consciousness
TTEI — The Think Tank for Emergent Ideas — lives in the in-between:
where place-based insight meets planetary perspective,
and global intelligence returns home as localized transformation.
What We Mean by Liminality
Liminality is the threshold—the space between what is and what’s emerging.
In this in-between, we decode complexity, see patterns, and align action.
It’s where old paradigms dissolve and new possibilities take shape.
TTEI operates within this dynamic middle ground (often associated with as the messy middle), guiding innovators, educators, and leaders through transitions toward systems that regenerate and evolve.
Two Orientations, One Field
Divergence
Act Local, Think Global
To act local is to move with awareness of place—to design, build, and experiment within your immediate ecosystem.
To think global is to see the interconnected whole—to understand how local choices ripple through global systems.
This stance roots innovation in context, culture, and community, while informing it with planetary wisdom.
TTEI supports local actors—chambers, universities, startups, and civic labs—
in designing with global intelligence and emergent foresight.
Convergence
Act Global, Think Local
To act global is to influence systems, shape policy, and deploy frameworks that scale across geographies.
To think local is to honor nuance, adapt solutions, and center the lived realities of communities.
This stance ensures scalable strategies remain grounded, responsive, and human-centered.
TTEI equips global innovators and organizations
with tools to localize strategies, adapt models, and engage ecosystems authentically.
A Living Threshold
TTEI is the strategic R&D lab+incubator/accelerator hybrid that exists between these two orientations.
We design and facilitate Points of Intervention—moments where small, intentional shifts within complex systems yield outsized impact.
Our ecosystem centralizer sessions and 1-, 2-, and 3-day points of intervention workshops activate this liminality:
Surfacing local insight from global intelligence
Aligning actors across scales and sectors
Illuminating pathways where vision meets reality
This is where innovation ecosystems are synchronized, and collective intelligence emerges.
How It Feels to Work in the Liminal Space
You see patterns before they emerge
You hold multiple truths at once
You recognize connection over separation
You shift from problem-solving to pattern-shaping
You become fluent in the language of transitions
TTEI is your guide in the in-between, translating complexity into clarity, and potential into movement.
Our Tools
Ecosystem Centralizer Sessions — live, 30-minute intelligence briefings that synchronize collective focus
Points of Intervention Workshops — facilitated deep dives (1, 2, or 3 days), identifying leverage points
Constellation Passport — a resinnovate-powered mapping tool (a Modern Ancients technology), revealing shared priorities and pathways through verified opportunity
Together, they activate local-global coherence.
Why It Matters
In a world of accelerating change, organizations must become bilingual—
fluent in both local realities and global shifts.
Operating in liminality is how we bridge scales, unlock insight, and design for resilience.
The future belongs to those who can see both the forest and the roots,
and act where the two converge.
Join Us in the In-Between
Whether you’re an educator designing environments, a practitioner facilitating transformation, or a leader embedding change—
TTEI helps you navigate the liminal space between worlds.
