Reinventing the way we work

We help you reshape your organisation where people thrive and organisations succeed through empowerment, team working and being closer to your customers

A partner to help you to gain insights and lead you to develop new capabilities for creating better ways of working

Despite reams of books and conferences over the past years, the way that almost organisations work today is still rife with problems that keep surfacing, despite the efforts we put in to fix them. Most organisations still follow a way of working and structure that was designed for our working environment 100 years ago.
- silo working between departments.
- hierarchies of managers, full of bureaucracy and infighting.
- despite reams of data and charts, a lack of really knowing what is going on until after the event.
- different parts of the organisation pulling in different directions.
​- we are mired by our own systemic disabilities.

The reason they persist is that they simply cannot be easily 'fixed' This list are symptoms of deeper aspects of how the organisation works, that needs to be understood.

What we help you to develop

There are now a host of organisations like Bayer that are re-inventing the way they work, leaving behind the old ways working that we have all grown up with. 
Your managers develop a systems perspective that sees the organisation, not as a series of departments, but as a dynamic complex end to end flow starting with the customer experience.  Re-design your service  around your customers.

Self managed teams

An empowered team is different; they are a team that thinks and acts for themselves. They have been liberated from restrictive organisation constraints. They need managers to enable them to thrive; flexibly working to deal with the customer, empowered to deal with issues.

A learning organisation

 People who are continually enhancing their capabilities to create in response to the changing environment around them. Local  improvement through the reality that is close to where we experience the reality of work. 

Uncover innovation of each of your people

The future of management lies, not in asserting ourselves better, but in the innovative ways we engage with and liberate the potential of every person in an organisation. Move from central decisions and firefighting, to supporting and leading.
