From Theory To Practice

Telos House builds teams of experts with direct know-how, to develop roadmaps for the UK's most pressing challenges.

The firm: Circles

Effective, Transparent R&D

Effective R&D starts with precisely defined problems. From this, we guide curated groups through our research-backed conversational design process to develop concrete, data-driven solutions. It has been implemented with success in multiple domains, from Synthetic Biology to Disaster Relief.

"What" not "Why"

Circles uncover what the problem is, and how to fix it, not deliberate over why it exists. Roadmaps have time-bound deliverables, to track success and enable evidence-based iteration.

Cross-Function & Cross-Level

Our circles include both decision-makers and front-line actors spanning multiple disciplines, ensuring exhaustive solutions.

Proven Experience

Circle participants bring 'skin-in-the-game', grounding our roadmaps in real world experience. We've optimised our space for trust and safety, enabling open dialogue for all.

Telos House Fellows

A Community of Changemakers

All Circle Participants automatically become Fellows, joining our cadre of high-calibre problem solvers. We offer Visting Fellowships, providing more flexible participation in our broader research agenda.

Our Ethos

Practical, Goal-Oriented Collaboration

Waves

The word Telos (Ancient Greek: τέλος, romanized: télos) refers to a goal or purpose.

Our research works backwards from our goals, making it practical, trackable and transparent.
