Road map

Except functions as the hub and driver of collaborative innovation. By organizing experts, stakeholders, and partners in a tightly orchestrated process, sustainability  becomes a driver for true system-wide innovation.

Birds eye view of industry chains

Except works with individual companies as well as whole sectors to identify key opportunities  for improvement and innovation using ‘system maps’. These quickly illustrate the risks  and opportunities within any given sector,  revealing leverage points that maximize  intenvention effects at the lowest  cost.

With its diverse team of experts, Except  gives companies the tools and insight  to find succesful routes forward, and  helps map a trajectory towards long-term  achievements, security, and responsible  operations.

Finding key opportunities for progress and innovation

1 - Integrated Analysis

Except’s analysts provide the necessary insight  for corporate decision making by choosing the  right kind of systems analysis: material resources,  people, knowledge, policies, time, or money.

2 - Identifying symbiotic solutions

The next phase maps the complexity of each  issue, identifies unseen solutions, and translates  them into step by step roadmaps.

3 - Develop strategic pathways

With this overview of possible solutions, we develop  strategies to move organizations  towards sustainability. This can include building internal and external strategies, creating inspiring designs  and devise practical, affordable, and innovative  solutions. 

Except makes route and system maps for  any industry and sector, including manufacturing,  service industries, urban development, logistics,  agriculture, social, and medical industries.
