How we work ...

Our task is to widen understanding, not to teach new skills.

We have to look beyond the current culture in most organisations . This culture was generated, as Sir Ken Robinson describes, for the benefit of industrialism, and it served us well. One of Sir Ken's comments is:

"... as children grow up, we start to educate them progressively from the waist up. And then we focus on their heads. And slightly to one side."

Those children are of course , all of us.

"And times have changed. "

This widening of understanding, this humanistic turn, is not amenable to skills training, we therefore are not consultants or trainers.

Instead we are collaborators. We collaborate with those managers who are already successful and wish to grow further. We widen ways of understanding to encompass all the humanistic areas that are elusive to so many.

This is very personal. It needs a great deal of self-reflection about operating in the world to affect others. It requires an understanding of belief systems, your own and others. And it needs a strong desire to deal with all those humanistic issues that are currently believed to be so difficult.

They are only difficult when you do not understand them.
