Strategy.
Design.
Co-intelligence.
I’m Suhit Anantula. I help people and organisations make sense of change, explore possibilities and turn ideas into practice.
My work connects strategy, design, policy and AI—through books, practical methods, teaching and work with organisations. I’m the founder of The Helix Lab, where we bring this thinking into the work.
Methods you can use
Start with a question.

Think, act and learn with AI while keeping your judgement. For strategy, policy, business and service design—and anyone shaping a response to change.

into the work.
Through The Helix Lab, I work with leaders and teams to frame the right problem, design a response and build the capability to carry it forward.
