We Do
Action Research
- for a Next Generation Leadership -
We believe in validated science, and we have certifications in the research fields we work with.
We also believe in validating what we do, in our Action Research Projects.
Because only when we can prove the impact of what we do, we can fully claim to make a difference.
By this, we KNOW the difference we make!

Cascading Organisational Effects from Inner Leader Transformation
Our 3-year Action Research Project, in collaboration with one of Sweden's largest industries, has explored the question: "Does inner leader transformation lead to quantifiable, measurable positive shifts in the organisational contexts of the leader?"
The quantitative measurements presented in this Action Research Paper provide an answer to that research question: Yes!
The project has also designed an intervention to reproduce the results.
94% experience an increase of overall life satisfaction.
85% measure an improvement of outcomes in the organisation.
85% measure an improvement of collaboration in the organisation.

Invitation To Our Ongoing Projects
Welcome to Join Our Ongoing Projects
As part of our Action Research within Next Generation Leadership we are currently doing a study mapping challenges, needs and possibilities perceived by industry leaders.
We do this in the format of a 40 minute interview. Interviews that are often highly appreciated by participating leaders, since the conversation tends to open for new perspectives and reflective insight.
Our target audience are executives and leaders within innovation, R&D and creation since these fields are part of shaping our common human future...
Our intention is to shine a light on the connection between the evolution of leadership awareness and capabilities to innovate and lead in this rapidly changing, uncertain world.
The interviews will of course be anonymised, the data analysed, collated and presented in a report. We will also share conclusions in videos, and through webinars. As always we want to contribute to our shared awareness.
Should you participate in the study, you will get the report and be invited to the webinars. You will also be invited to an exclusive session exploring the findings of the study through the lens of the modern science of a Next Generation Leadership together with other industry leaders participating in the study.
Would you do us the honor of lending us 40 minutes of your time? Announce your interest to participate by sending us an e-mail:

Action Research Initiative -
Spreading the Results of Our Action Research Project
An initiative to spread the capability to facilitate the programs developed in the Action Research project above. And measure the effects!
The measured effects of the above Action Research project "Cascading Organisational Effects from Inner Leader Transformation" are very strong.
In this initiative, we want to help integrate these programs into your organisation's internal leader programs. To globally spread leadership development enabling measurable positive effects inside and outside of the organisation.
For sustainable individuals, in sustainable organisations. Shaping a sustainable world.
Get in touch, and we'll grow this together!
Action Research Project - Leadership Team
Can one, by integrating modern research both in leadership and organisational processes, achieve measurable, positive effects for the individual, group and organisation, repeatable over industry segments?
There is theoretical support for this, and we have validated it in one industry segment.
In this project, we want to validate our method to achieve these positive shifts over a range of industry segments. Since we work with fundamental human aspects, we expect to measure remarkable outcomes over industry segments.
Do you want to participate? Are you ready to take a leap into the Next Generation of Leadership, and take your organisation to new heights? Get in touch!

-
Being engineers, we are meticulous and methodical in what we do, and want to know that we are making a difference.
-
For 20+ years, we have explored and worked with human development, as well as different ways of growing, organising and collaborating including Agile, TEAL and Sociacracy.
-
For the past 8 years, we have dived deep into the latest research of inner human development, social systems, human centric leadership and leading in complex, adaptive systems. Weaving these research fields into a coherent whole.
-
For the past 5 years, we have explored and experimented with how to turn this research into transformational programs. All this time we have measured the effects of what we do.
-
For the past 3 years, we have run an Action Research project, measuring the organisational effects of inner leader transformation.
And the measured effects from our programs exceed our hopes and expectations by far, both on individual and organisational level. -
Now we continue our Action Research to find more answers and methods for how inner development can shift our organisations, our society and our world.
