Navigating one of the world’s largest foundations

The Novo Nordisk Foundation is one of the world’s largest foundations. That scale is also its challenge: an organisation with sprawling impact across health, sustainability and life sciences can be hard to grasp. We built an interactive 3D overview to bring their initiatives into a broader societal context. The experience maps a selection of projects and initiatives supported by the Foundation, from strategic focus areas down to the individual initiatives and businesses they support. Stakeholders can navigate at whatever depth they need: a broad overview or a detailed look at a specific programme. Making the Foundation's work spatial, explorable and layered brought a human quality to something that could easily have remained a diagram. It's the difference between being told how big something is and being able to move through it.
