About Us

The Blue Monarch Management company and brand are inspired by the formative work of Edward Lorenz, who developed the early models of the phenomenon known as The Butterfly Effect. His disciplined approach and intuition as a scientist and mathematician enabled him to find new insights where prevailing theories and inertia opposed him. At Blue Monarch we find as much inspiration in his tenacity for new insights as in the actual model itself.

The notion that a dramatic chain of events can emanate from a tiny point of inflection is as true in business as it is in science. Chaos can emerge to manifest overwhelming outcomes. In business, technology, science and in life, the rate of change has never been so rapid as now. The added uncertainties arising from geopolitical conflict, globalization, climate change and systemic inequities urgently demand new approaches. Blue Monarch brings diverse perspectives to our work across stakeholders, sectors, industries and regions to unlock new ways of thinking and to find new solutions that achieve sustainable change … something, we believe, Edward Lorenz would recognize and appreciate.

Our Focus

Innovation

We are curious and creative. We are multidisciplinary. We embrace ambiguity. We listen, learn, test and iterate. The methodologies and approaches we embrace create for our clients entirely new and valuable experiences and outcomes.

Systems Thinking

We embrace the big picture perspective, and balance short term needs against long term implications. We strive to solve more than the problem in front of us to generate a greater impact than could have been imagined.

Sustainability

We seek solutions which balance financial viability with enhanced benefits to the community and to the wider society, all in recognition of the larger constraints of our natural world.
