3 hrs confidence:

loosening the status quo desprender-se do presente/mudar o «statu quo»

Explanation:
Interpreto a frase "Loosening the status quo, exploring possible solutions" como "desprender-se do presente para agarrar o futuro", ou seja, desapegar-se do estado actual ("statu quo") para explorar possíveis soluções.
Penso que o que está por detrás da frase é o sentido de mudança de uma situação actual e ser inovador.

Por outro lado, quando se diz que “devemos mudar o status quo”, significa que o estado atual deve ser alterado.
