In an organisation, responsibilities may be clearly defined without decision-making authority being equally clear. Yet decision-making in organisations depends directly on how roles, responsibilities and authority are distributed. Someone may be responsible for an area but still need management approval to move forward. A team may be autonomous but unsure how far its authority extends. […]

I’m often asked which project management certification to choose. But that isn’t the first question I would ask. PMI, IPMA, PRINCE2, Scrum… there are plenty of options, and their recognition varies depending on the country, sector and professional environment. So, which one should you choose? I would start with a different question: what do you […]

A transdisciplinary exploration of the evolution of consciousness For centuries, humanity has sought to understand the external world. We have explored matter, the laws of the universe, living systems and technologies capable of transforming our environment. Today, a new frontier is emerging: are we ready to explore the mechanisms that shape our own consciousness? The […]

The quiet power of naming in organisations In many organisations, some activities remain in the background. They clearly exist.People spend time on them — sometimes a lot of time — yet they still feel difficult to grasp. They become “the thing we’re working on”, “the initiative”, or “that topic we’re trying to move forward”. Most […]

An effective approach… but incomplete Until now, we approached our engagements with a fairly direct logic. A combination of method, experience and intuition. An approach focused on the specific areas we had identified with the client — project management, internal organisation, role clarity… the scope was clear. What was missing, however, was an overall perspective. […]

Three expressions, three states of availability In professional life, certain expressions circulate almost automatically. They raise a smile, yet they often say far more than we first assume. It was during a recent training session that a participant, Christian, mentioned the expression Bergfest. A simple remark, almost in passing, which immediately opened up a reflection […]

The problem I have, on several occasions during workshops or coordination meetings, witnessed a scene that captures something very common in team dynamics. A junior colleague, or someone newly arrived in the team, puts forward an idea that is original, slightly off the beaten track, yet genuinely relevant. And still, without an external intervention, the […]

When analysis replaces momentum In many organisations, decision-making has become an endurance sport.We analyse, we consult, we debate, we postpone. We want to be sure before we act — sure of the right idea, the right strategy, the right approval.But by waiting to be ready, we miss the chance to get feedback from the field […]

When negotiation slows down collective dynamics In many organisations, meetings quickly turn into bargaining. Each stakeholder tries to defend their own solution, protect their interests, or “win” the discussion. The result: endless debates, diluted decisions, and drained collective energy. Negotiation, meant to bring positions closer, often creates invisible fault lines that hold back collaboration. The […]

On the steep paths of organisational life, experience is often our safety rope. It reassures, guides, and protects. It marks out the trail, shows us shortcuts, and helps avoid pitfalls. But if we rely on it too heavily, it can become a trap. Because what we learned yesterday may blind us today. What if experience […]

In spring, the snow melts and paths begin to reappear. The mountain becomes accessible once again—along with it, a powerful metaphor for how we can rethink our organizations: not as structures to manage, but as human “rope teams” seeking elevation, clarity, and collective intelligence. This path is one we explore daily—both with our clients and […]
