Improving Human Agency

The Opportunity
in Plain Sight

A more intentional
human future

Human Agency may be one of the most under-utilised resources within organisations.

When people understand their choices and take responsibility for them, individuals, teams and organisations can make better decisions, build stronger relationships and create lasting value.

Explore Human Agency & Arbitrium

What is Human Agency?
The ability of people to make helpful conscious choices and to act upon them.

Why does it matter?
Every decision, relationship, response and action within an organisation ultimately involves human choice.

What is Arbitrium?
A developing discipline for understanding the influences that strengthen or constrain Human Agency.

Explore the Thinking

A connected set of ideas, developed through experience, research and real-world application.

Housing Market Case Study

An eighteen year case study in housing, human agency and change

A real world example of how human behaviour, organisational structures and systemic constraints have contributed to the persistence of the UK housing crisis - and what can be learned for the future.

Why This Matters to Organsations

The only thing an organisation truly has that cannot be copied is its people – and how they behave together.

Human Agency influences the quality of those choices, behaviours and relationships.

Our Vision

"A world with a shared language of emotional understanding, where people choose from clarity, not fear"


Where Could This Go?

Arbitrium has the potential to make a significant contribution to individuals, organisations and society. We are now looking for a Strategic Steward to help establish and develop the discipline.
