About Co.-

START NOW
Co.- is an independent consultancy enables decision makers to address organizational challenges that affect business performance, including:
  • people strategies
  • leadership
  • employee experience
  • change management
  • company culture
  • team dynamics
Here's how Co.- is unique from other providers and what clients can expect:  
  • The aim is to empower and develop organizations to the degree they can independently manage the key people factors and differentiators for their success. In other words, we are working from the beginning to eliminate the need for consultant support.
  • Every organization's people and context are different, so the approach is customized and never the same. The innovative solutions developed are relevant and impactful to the complexities of each client's circumstances.
  • Co.-'s vantage point brings new perspectives to old challenges, using inter-disciplinary points of view and strategic design thinking to create conditions for the best outcomes.
  • It's not just about getting the job done, but also making sure the strategies delivered have the potential for sustainable change and lasting results.
  • Co.- is all about partnerships and collaborating on the basis of mutual trust.
  • New insights are gained not just from understanding what's wrong, but uncovering and leverage what's right. Incorporating a strengths and opportunities-based approach promotes systemic transformation over fixing individual problems caused by it.
