Attitudinal aspects

Combining a professional, critical and self-reflective attitude with social, conceptual and methodological competence in the most optimal way.
The realisation that it demands a great deal courage to ask for advice and that it is risky to lend advice. Advice is more than just applying theory. It demands critical life skills.
Consulting a troubled organisation, no matter how good the intentions are, and making organisations look good, however intelligent they may seem, require a deep understanding of underlying, often hidden and unconscious, ways of working.
Being authentic and lending value to every day practices. It is those practices that change the organisation (and the world around it).
