Our Development Philosophy
We develop people, groups and organisations.
Outstanding business performance relies on humans doing their job well individually and collectively. We understand that the foundation of successful organisations is successful individuals cooperating to achieve goals. The focus of our consultants’ support for organisations is in areas where the human factor has a key role.
Our starting point is to consider the whole organisation as a system. We recognise that intervention can have profound effects on the organisational system. Our programmes are preceded by comprehensive preparative diagnostic work. This allows us to identify and plan sustainable development stages that build on each other and bring about the type of change best suited to the characteristics of each individual organisation.
We can only reach a result together, through close cooperation with the client, utilising the organisation's own knowledge and experience. Organisations typically have the resources and know-how to overcome difficulties but require external help to shine the light on a solution. We fuse the organisation’s inherent capabilities with our own expertise to find a way forward. Doing so requires a constant open dialogue between consultant and client.
We develop the organisations’ learning skills. Our aim is that, during the consultancy process, the organisation and its employees should begin to understand the obstacles that are hindering organisational performance and become capable of making independent steps towards overcoming these, unaided by the consultants. We strive to help organisations help themselves.
Our programmes are based on the methodology of experience-based learning. Our approach is best encapsulated by the maxim of the renowned mathematician, Alfréd Rényi: “People only understand what they discover themselves; the completed things that people receive without working hard for them in their souls will go in one ear and out of the other. It is like watering plants: plants cannot live without water, but the water that is sprinkled on the leaves is useless because it runs off; plants can only make use of the water that they drink up themselves through their roots.”
