Our Process
Every tasks starts with the story behind it. With an analytical narrative approach we start wondering if the problems adressed are a symptom or already a root cause. Knowingly or not, but much of we need to know is embedded in the language that emerges in organisational environment. Our duty is to lift its secrets and make it accessible and creatively dealt with.
After any of our audits we carve a concept and and action plan, that may alter form your initial ambition but reveal levers for much bigger and longer lasting impact. Here the magic of systems thinking, facilitative leadership and integrative narrative approaches fuse into something very valuable
Once you agree to follow the concept, mostly after some refinded concept iterations, the detailed planning turns the project into a roadmap with a goals, strategy, pronciples and communication feats. Regularly we design consecutive chapters, so you can determine the timing in accordance with your resources.
Transformation, Change Programs, Training, Workshops – all of what those describe is often so much more than we see and most of the work is done in-between. Thats why we put you on duty of having your investment backed-up the obligation to follow through with well thought through implementation steps.
Stepping up as a leader is more than just entitlement, it is an utter opportunity to serve, as you will have impact on so many lives. Yet we support a systemic view that sees obligations by those who lead in a comparable extend with those who are led.
"We talk a a lot about DEI and so often forget the B which stands for belonging. And this is something I rarely have felt in organisations, but more in at bonfires, at mountains, beaches, deserts or shores. And my vision is to bring a bit of this belonging in our world of work, too."
