ABOUT US

Hi there.

It's very lofty to say we're dedicated to making this world a better place, but we are. We also strongly believe that positive action should start in the companies and organisations which surround and occupy us every day.

Whether we use their services, work for them, or are otherwise involved in how they shape society, the environment, shared ideas -- or a combination of these -- there are myriad organisations, large and small, which we all contribute to and take from.

Healthy organisations have contented and confident people. Contented and confident people make healthy organisations.

For decades now, we've been professionally occupied in assessing companies’ situations and working to find appropriate solutions, usually facilitated by expert software. Hundreds of cases have taught us and enriched our experiences.

This blog aims to condense our findings and most proven methods for organisational improvement. Whatever your own roles in organisations you relate to, we hope to provide insights, intriguing thoughts and implementable solutions.

Please do keep up with new blog posts by subscribing.

Best regards, Mike Harsanyi and Paul Barrett
