HOW WE WORK

We are action-researchers

Our mission is to advance the frontier of knowledge by developing the most advanced and proven tools for leadership, design and innovation within the School of Management.

 

How?

 

Great research does not happen in vitro.
It comes only by engaging in application projects  with pioneering leaders. We act in a continuous circle: we learn from the most advanced organizations →  build new theory → confront our assumptions with other scholars →  develop and test unique tools →  apply them in our consulting projects →  learn and start the cycle again thus constantly advancing our frameworks and tools.
