We rely on the knowledge we have mastered and the experience gained through our work to deliver our Solution packages. Together, these have formed the special hybrid blend of competencies that we present on this page.
Fusion of Worlds
Our consultants combine the experience of two worlds in their work.
- One is 20+ years of tech and large-corporate life experience, where – as is typical of the sector – complexity is high, regulation is strong, and scalability and methodological rigor are expected.
- The other is empathetic practice gained with people, where we learned what processes and frameworks alone can never show: how people, teams and leaders actually work.
To everyone, we provide
what’s missing from their world!
The ability to uniquely combine the two universes above is our real advantage over our competitors:
- For our large-corporate clients, beyond the usual methodological development, we also develop the human and leadership dimension, where technical and process optimization alone is no longer enough.
- For our SME clients, beyond the usual human skills development, we bring the proven structures, methodologies, technical tools, and mindset that the big players have long been using, but which we tailor to the size and culture of the specific SME.
Areas and Activities
On a practical level, we build our Solutions from combinations of the two competence dimensions below. These are also what we use to create custom, tailor-made solutions for our clients:
Areas
Where we have gained the most professional experience so far
Activities
The typical forms and ways in which we provide support.
We often tailor our solutions to our clients’ specific needs. For such custom requests, the list of Areas and Activities below can serve as a useful “menu.” If you’re interested in the packages we have already designed to solve typical organizational problems, please visit our Solutions page. →
Areas
Our consultants, trainers and coaches have more than 20 years of experience across various business domains and sectors. Below is a short list of the areas where our support is typically most requested. If you’re unsure whether we can help with something on the list, please get in touch with us so we can find out! We usually manage to find a solution, but if not, through our extensive network we can certainly find the right expert who is well-versed in that area.

Activities
These are the activity types and formats in which we are most experienced. We like to combine these in whatever way best fits our clients’ circumstances. As we are believers in Method Engineering, during our engagements we usually hybridize our own activities with our clients’ practices and ways of working.
Diagnostics
Through structured interviews, work observation and questionnaire-based tools, we map out the current state of an organization, a team or a leader. We synthesize the collected data, identify patterns and root causes, then return our analysis to the client together with development recommendations.
Facilitation
As an independent party, we lead the facilitation of numerous activities without bias. We make sure everyone is able to open up and be heard, while the predefined goals of the event are also achieved. We tailor our modern facilitation tools and techniques to whatever works best for the specific group and topic.
Trainings and Workshops
From a few-minute micro session to multi-day training programs, we hold tailored education and workshops on request. During these sessions we favor experiential learning (Action Learning). We minimize frontal, lecture-style theoretical education and maximize hands-on, experience-based learning.
Presentations
Frontal presentations for larger audiences on the requested topic. These can range from intimate storytelling sessions to theater-style official presentations, supported by PPT slides and other presentation tools.
Simulations
Simulations are a fun and effective way to convey concepts that are normally hard to grasp through a simple presentation. These games create lasting change in participants’ thinking through personal experience (e.g. Marshmallow Challenge, Red Beads, Kanban Pizza, etc.)
Personal Coaching / Mentoring
Through regular private sessions, we explore the candidate’s inner workings and support their self-improvement efforts. Throughout the journey, we continuously provide feedback and reinforcement for newly emerging challenges.
Group Coaching
Closed sessions with a group, where we help them achieve their personal or shared professional (or even individual) goals. These sessions build internal cohesion and improve how the group works together.
Consulting
After thoroughly and collaboratively exploring the client’s universe, we provide specific, actionable guidance, rooted in our experience, on how the given challenges can be solved. We quality-assure the implementation of these recommendations and provide further support during execution to achieve the best possible outcome.
Audit
We examine the designated area in detail, exploring it through collaborative group and individual sessions. We identify root causes and recommend corrective actions and experiments to run. We typically do this to evaluate completed projects, as opposed to our Consulting service, where we get involved early on, already during planning and execution.
