Leader Development Team Development Coaching
Tailor-made development processes with people in the centre
Our professional principles
We treasure being anchored in methods and theories that are applicable in practice:
• Learning continuously is a condition for being able to go on delivering
• The outcome of developmental efforts will be best secured through work on all levels; individual, group and organizational
• Learning through an experience based pedagogy
• Planned, stepwise change leadership
• All our thinking and methods have holistic focus
• We combine systems and organizational perspectives with gestalt thinking
We believe in:
• Tailor-made programs
• Anchored and long-term process management
• The need to combine consciousness and training when developing human resources
We do not believe in:
• Organizational development without human development
• Leader development without personal development
• Forcing standard training packages down people’s throats
