Our approach

For us to deal with stark social and economic upheavals, three ingredients are essential:

Staying Open

01 Staying Open

Every situation is unique and requires a unique answer. Falling back on proven solutions and methods is an understandable human reaction.

However, using blueprints and best practices do more harm than good. It forces the situation to conform to the method, which is rarely successful.

Instead, we need to open ourselves to the questions a situation asks us and accept not knowing the answer right now, in order to uncover new ideas, deep wisdom, and true change.

Staying Open

02 Embracing complexity

Uncertain of where to begin, people often try to narrow down a situation to a single essential problem – the one they attempt to solve.

But problem-solving itself can be problematic: it often overlooks the dynamics, relationships, and interconnectedness that are crucial.

Instead of striving for simplicity, we need to embrace the complexity. Only then can we do justice to everything involved and find workable solutions.

Staying Open

03 Creating agency

Wisdom and creativity are found in those who are involved and affected.

The usual power structures prevent people from thriving and contributing and consultancy often reinforces these structures instead of dismantling them.

By creating agency and leadership and by empowering people to take change into their own hands, we generate fruitful realities where resilient organizations and communities can thrive.

Why

Organizations are the heart of how we structure our societies.

If we want to change the world, we need to create different organizations: ones that help to establish and support healthy paradigms.

All transformational work needs to take this into account, that's why we develop a newunderstanding of organizations and transformation.

It's our integrity that binds us to the well-being of all. A strong ethical approach creates space for our clients to thrive.
