THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE FRAMEWORK

ESSENCE IS MORE BASIC THAN FUNCTION.

Flume is dedicated to understanding the true nature of the human person and to make it known—not limited to, our human essence, human dignity, human diversity, human equality, human culture, and human flourishing. In that way, Flume is not merely interested in data-driven decision making, best practices, evidence-based practices, industry standards, or even “common sense,” but rather with what inherently comes first—the philosophical and anthropological beginnings those concepts assume.

To that end, Flume has developed a uniquely integrative, first principled, and human-centered framework (what we call, The Human Experience Framework), which allows us to find humane, holistic, and flourishing-focused solutions to many of the social problems we face today—and not merely to rid ourselves of them, but to cultivate meaning, redemption, and the good, true, and beautiful in their place.

In sum, this is the mode of being for our varied divisions, works, words, ideas, and efforts flow—like a flume, taking the inherent nature and potential of the human person and the human experience, and fostering its flourishing even further—first in our minds, soaked through our hearts, and then out of our feet, fingers, and mouths.
