Orion GrowthEcological Economics
It’s no coincidence the Orion Growth logo is a series of intertwined circles. Back in 2009 when we designed it - the purpose of the company was to break down the vertical silos of commercial real estate and introduce circular, regenerative thinking to a traditional, linear process. We were slightly ahead of the market, but things have taken off lately. It turns out that circular processes and sustainable design mean something now. Circularity is becoming a regulatory requirement for our large...
Orion GrowthSingle-Point of Failure
Failure is inevitable. Failure is a requirement for learning. Embrace failure, because it’s going to happen. In fact, the failure is often systemic and is generally caused by or impacted by a much larger subset of consequences. Most institutions have fostered a culture that sees failure as inherently bad. However, they are essential to growth, and recognizing their value can be key to future success. We learn from the valley, not the peak. Anatomy of a failure: It’s safe to say that all failu...
Orion GrowthIT's complicated
Those who choose to practice technology and innovation see it. Advancements in chipsets and compute power will jettison us to next-level processing. The shift from central, to graphical has moved to neural. It feels fast because it is fast. We’ve never had more ability to ‘do’ than now. This is when we, as humans, give that speed the direction it needs. This is where speed turns into velocity - and we influence the intended outcome. This is a phase change. With most innovation, our new abilit...
Persevering along the path of regenerative leadership, open innovation, and dynamic team building. Aspiring to make the words make sense.

Bio, Photo, Chemical, Data, Cognitive - overall, synthesis involves the merging or integration of separate entities or ideas to create something new, cohesive, or comprehensive. It is a fundamental process in many disciplines and plays a crucial role in innovation, problem-solving, and creative endeavors. Synthesis becomes evident after recognizing disparate elements. This is happening in Commercial Real Estate, AEC, and Workplaces.
We’ve been on the road this year, working closely with the program directors, facilitators, keynotes, and sponsors of Purposeful Intent. It’s been our collective mission to assemble the best and brightest minds to observe and reorient the direction and narrative around the current and future of work. We invited occupiers, executives, design firms, and technology specialists to join our discussions. We did this in Toronto, LA, San Francisco, Boston, New York, London, and Sydney.
We connected.
We listened.
In addition to IRL events, we also took courses and gained certifications in a process we are all becoming familiar with, upskilling. We heard from Real Innovation Academy / Future Proof Office, Trillion Dollar Hashtag, TeamOps/GitLab, HypeFree Crypto & DeFi, as well as Borgo Academy. We also studied with more traditional education partners like The University of Nicosia, Microsoft, and NVIDIA.
We learned.
We moved Orion Growth from web2 to web2.5 and closer to web3. We started by centralizing our data and pairing down our stack. We created systems of record that allowed us to interface in ways we never could before. We automated tasks in our project management process, created standards for IPD, and changed the very way in which we interact with partners and clients. We also centralized our publication to mirror.xyz - which allows us to integrate blockchain technology while maintaining integrity across our written message. We’ve established a robust, decentralized wallet solution for payments and created a consensus mechanism whereby we can start to democratize decisions that are better suited for community feedback than hierarchy. We opened the first virtual coworking space in Open Campus because real choice requires additional modes. It’s not no, because….it’s yes, and.
We built.
Along with the notion of synthesis comes adaptation. While much of the world’s view is partial to adoption, at Orion, we’ve subscribed to adaptation. We’re taking small, iterative steps rather than immense leaps toward change. We ascribe to regenerative thinking over industrialized thinking. We seek to learn during each step and tread lightly as we find ourselves in a precarious position in time. After all, we’re the first generation to see the advance of climate disruption, and the last with the chance to fix it.
So what’s next?
It’s time for synthesis. We have to join these forces of coming together, listening, learning, and building. We believe that while the risks and urgency may be higher than ever today there are also great opportunities. We plan to identify, educate, and activate innovative solutions that offer a realistic, hopeful perspective on key global issues that demand our attention; climate change and affordability. We aren’t aiming for sustainability, we’re aiming for regenerative and renewable commitments from our circle of partners.
We simply cannot afford to continue down the same path that got us here.
Much more to come. WAGMI.
