Commitments
/ WE ARE CONVINCED THAT VALUES MUST BE VISIBLE IN CONCRETE BEHAVIORS. OUR FIVE COMMITMENTS ARE CLARITY & PASSION, PROFESSIONALISM & EXPERIENCE, NEUTRALITY & INDEPENDENCE, AND FAIRNESS & RESPECT
/ VALUE-DRIVEN COMMITMENTS
We believe our first responsibility is to our clients, the people and organizations we serve each day. They come to us seeking clarity amidst complexity, and it is our duty to provide guidance that is clear, insightful, forward-looking and executable.
We are responsible to the cultures within the organizations and communities we support. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of academic rigor and practical wisdom, recognizing that true professionalism embraces humanity and never loses sight of compassion.
We are responsible to society and future generations to maintain integrity in all that we do. In our work, we strive to bring positive and lasting change. We are here to serve, transform and create a future that fosters personal growth, organizational success and societal resilience.
And here they are, our commitments to clients, communities and the future:
/ CLARITY & PASSION
In transformation, we want to decomplexify things, not make them even more complex. We bring clarity to the world. When clarity leads the way, passion creates momentum – taking people in organizations on a journey to co-create their future. We love what we do, and it is evident in the passion we exude and the momentum which unfolds. We are both analytical as well as people-centered. We work with a hard mind and a soft heart.
/ PROFESSIONALISM & EXPERIENCE
Teaming up with leaders across industries, we aim to reflect their excellence through our professionalism. Our extensive experience allows our clients to avoid pitfalls, take shortcuts and take a more direct route to success. We have proven that academic soundness and own executive transformation experience are a winning combination. When professionalism gets in the way of humanity, we choose to be human.
/ NEUTRALITY & INDEPENDENCE
As quality assurance for the Board of Directors and as sounding partner for top executives, we commit ourselves to credibility, honesty and neutrality. We always focus on the best decision for the organization. We make objective management judgments and well thought-through recommendations. We do not accept commissions or kickbacks. We value the long-term trust of our clients over short-term commercial success.
/ FAIRNESS & RESPECT
We always strive for fairness in our assessments and recommendations and treat each individual and their contributions with respect. We encourage collaboration and discourage elbowing in our programs and projects. We are convinced that people & culture are the foundation on which every successful transformation program is built upon.
/ ENABLEMENT & EMPOWERMENT
We never stop learning ourselves. And more importantly, we love to see others grow. Enabling people and empowering organizations is integral part of each of our programs to reach the next level by developing skills as well as competences and establishing winning behaviors. With our own academy, we unleash a company’s potential and help to transform it. Because learning cultures perform better than performance cultures.
