Focussing on values and identity, the All-Brand-Concept© supports developing a brand from vision to action bridging both organisational culture and marketing.

Keeping The Flow:
Creating Opportunities Based On Well Structured Collaboration
Contribution in: Managing in a VUCA World
As against most common views, complexity is nothing new. We've simply just started to realise. Therefore, we have to find ways of dealing with a complex environment and its ambiguous, uncertain face. Due to an enormous explosion of knowledge in almost every field of our lives, we can see that well-known recipes and rules for success do not work anymore. Trying harder makes it even worse, since the rules of the game have changed. Even more so: the game is a different one.

Introducing an Organic Approach to Task and Process Design
Contribution in: S-BPM One – Education and Industrial Developments
Still, we focus on a very traditional way of working on tasks: a linear and mechanistic way of thinking and acting. Ignoring that modern, complex and highly developed systems need a different way of dealing with organisations, tasks and processes, we wonder more and more why goals can be achieved less and less.
