Management and leadership development

Our leadership development programs include the full range of leadership stages from future talents to experienced leaders. Our modular development programs are designed to suit each organisation’s individual needs and goals. We utilise existing organisational structures and everyday working as the basis for the development. We use digital work spaces (Howspace) and other digital tools to streamline communication, activate peer-to-peer learning and to increase the effectiveness of the training.

Developing individuals and teams

Our services include outplacement training and train-the-trainer programs. We help individuals to learn facilitation skills that are easy to implement in everyday work. We also help people to learn more about themselves and their personal communication styles – as either managers, professionals or team members. We have a wide range of self-assessment tools to help with the process, such as Peili™ and 360-assessments. Our development services for executive committees help them to find their roles, to focus on the right questions and to build smooth working models. Our advisors are also certified coaches, and we offer coaching processes for both individuals and teams.

Working culture development

Our working culture development services range from tackling challenging situations, such as work community mediation, to culture development programs for relatively young organisations as well as developing more established cultures that sometimes need fairly small changes. We base the development process on assessing the current situation with different culture assessment tools. After assessment and observation, we analyse, challenge and help the organisation to remove the barriers that stand in front of a successful culture.
