We exclusively employ theories that have undergone practical application and are supported by evidence. Our methodologies continuously evolve as we refine our approaches based on real-world implementation. Our approach, whilst tailored to specific contexts and applications, draws insights from a variety of established theories:
Open Systems Theory
Guides our understanding of adaptation and the design of self-managing teams, ensuring responsiveness to changing environments. We studied directly with the co-founder of OST Dr. Merelyn Emery.
RenDanHeYi
Haier are the poster-child for working differently. The world's largest white-goods manufacturer dominates it's markets. The organisational thinking and design are radically different from traditional companies. As the representatives of the Haier Model Institute in Australia and New Zealand we can help you understand the mechanics that underpin their success.
Team Topologies
A brilliant model for understanding teams. Utilises patterns and interaction modes to optimise fast flow and collaboration, enhancing efficiency and effectiveness. Watch this space as we will be producing some content with co-author Matthew Skelton soon.
SEMCO Style Management
Embraces democratic values, promoting autonomy and accountability within organisations. We have one of the few Australian SEMCO Institute Style Experts on our team.
Viable Systems Model
The Viable System Model gives us a lens to understand the required complexity in organisations and identify areas that need support. It balances between "here and now" and "there and then," addressing current needs while fostering future development.
