New core processes

Update your 'operating system': how you decide, meet, communicate, develop, structure and strategise.

Fluid action circles

Let everyone spin their 'action circle': sense, share, decide and act. No need for hierarchy.

Stability due to hierarchy

Pure self-management often leads to unresolved differences and an unsafe climate. Used wisely and selectively, hierarchy brings the stability needed for progress.

Practical and doable building blocks

With a mix of self-management and hierarchy you pave the road for true engagement and real use of the collective intelligence of the organisation. Step by step.

Stay flexible in a rapidly changing world

Better collaboration allows you to quickly adapt and act in the face of change. Learn pragmatic approaches packaged in a unique mix of theory and a clarifying business story.
