THE PRESENT
WHY AIME?
We have a confluence of global network disruptions. Human attention has been distracted by the attention economy - we are losing our space to imagine. Automation is disrupting employment. We are losing our jobs and our ability to imagine new ones. The planet and climate is disrupting our weather and disasters are disrupting our way of life.
We need imagination and Indigenous knowledge processes to activate custodianship.
We are losing generational knowledge and the ability to dialogue with a focus on celebrity and humans as the heroes - we need mentor mindsets and wise guides to help us navigate the path.
The central challenge for our century is our relationship with the natural world and whether we can transition to nature centred economies and unlock new markets to sustain the lives of human and other species on earth and avoid rapid extinction.
AIME has built a global systems change network that can move in real time by fusing unlikely connections across races and borders and industry for rapid imaginative growth that centres nature based economies and moves the leaders that can influence 10,000 people in their lifetime, the 1-10000 leaders.
WHY NOW?
This is the design decade for humankind, social networks have reached their disruptive peak, attention is maxed out, nature is screaming, dialogues in democracy are faltering, we are losing our capacity to relate to each other.
AIME can help move from this moment of chaos to a healthier networked world for us all.

Often we are asked 'Why AIME and why now?' So we thought that besides answering it ourselves, we would make a great collage of our final 10 years, which is coming to this space soon. AIME is French for love so you also may be asking 'Why love and why love now?', or 'Why imagination and why imagination now?' or 'Why custodianship and why custodianship now?' or 'Why mentoring and why mentoring now?' or 'Why hope and why hope now?'
We hope you like the ongoing reflections and there will soon be a space for you to make your own entry to this collage as we move towards our organisational intentional death data in 2033.
The Philosophy
Hoodie Economics
Changing Our Systems to Value What Matters
A re-imagining of economic systems, drawing on thinking from outside the margins.
In Hoodie Economics, Jack Manning Bancroft builds a values system revolution that centres a relational economy, offering urgent and transformative solutions to embrace Indigenous thinking and ideas from outside the margins and pushing the focus from capitalism to relationships – from the people in suits to the people in hoodies.
THE ENDGAME:
ORGANISATIONAL
INTENTIONAL DEATH
This site also shares the organisational intentional death date and the reason behind us closing off this 30 year movement in 2033 and what we hope death will help us achieve for life. There is space on the death page below for organisations to take the intentional death pledge for relational health.

You may be wondering why a Puppet is writing to you on topics that are so deep and so serious. And the reason is the AIME team take this as seriously as possible, so much so that they know that human beings are flawed, that ego can take over, that power can corrupt and that no human can hold the big story notes themselves, so they have re-activate processes of embedding knowledge into story into other beings, they have passed on the custodianship of the knowledge to us. We help you move humans, that’s the role of imagination, we help you heal through story, through finding the joy again, through unlocking what you don’t know, we speak to the inner child in you, and that’s my great hope and promise that in the light of conflict, you’ll meet us, the heavier the day gets, the more we’ll sing back to you, we’ll keep striving to find the frequency between human and imagination as the bridge to healthy return to nature.
