Our team helps clients work with complexity, both inner and outer, in organisational and systemic settings. We pride in our ability to grasp the specifics of a context, with its own history, values and multi-actor dynamics, and to look at it from different angles and perspectives. We are comfortable with uncertainty and ask probing and catalytic questions. We zoom in and out between the relevant detail and the bigger landscape. We help to move stuck situations forward and bring a unique combination of skills including strategy, innovation, business, psychology, communications, organisational development and years of experience working on “wicked problems”.
