Build shared understanding
Through a set of business simulations* based on Okaloa Flowlab™**, people experience and gain deep insight in the fundamentals of their 'system of work'.
They experience agility, liquidity and optionality where they become strategic.
Uncover the fundamentals
Deeping insight into how work works, 'system of work', is a pre-requisite for developing capabilities.
*A simulation is an approximate imitation of the operation of a process or system; that represents its operation over time.
**Okaloa Flowlab™ is a simulation toolkit that lets people experience flow, collaboration and learning as corner stones for uncovering better ways to deliver, create and discover value.

Bootstrap network for change
Successful change is based on a healthy network of peers that influence each other in a positive way.
Genuine Engagement of people can be measured as a network effect; retention* and referral**.
From contempt to curiosity
Without becoming part of the organisational process, your way, we catalyse the thinking.
Our focus is on developing the capability to uncover your own thinking model based on your experiences, rather than imposing our own thinking model or projecting our own experiences.
The approach is based on System modelling™ created by Caitlin Walker.
*Retention can be observed when individuals, teams and team of teams continue to uncover better ways to deliver, create and discover value.
**Referral is others being activated to engage too. Often referred to as 'word of mouth'.

Advancing agile implementation
Move beyond the limitation of a transformation
Is your organisation involved in multiple, fragmented initiatives, or a method implementation(s), and is the change trapped in
The bandwagon effect,
Because the competition is doing it, we should do it too!Competing in-company initiatives,
Each initiative imposes its own ideals! Fragmentation of the organisation is inevitable.An industrial change approach, or
'We do A and B will be the result thinking! Mechanistic thinking puts people in a double bind.Commodity services
Whatever you name it, it isn't agile!
Commodities behave unpredictable on uncharted territory, an agile transformation is nothing else.
Our approach seeks for integrative thinking as a basis to (re-)engage again. Together we start from the adjacent possible to
Overcome local optimisation and bridge silo-ed initiatives
We expose people through experiences to the common ground. This common ground enables people to develop a shared language.Move beyond contempt and develop curiosity
As there is value in each initiative but fragmented or even conflicting. We bridge all levels and bring together all functions of the organisation.Manage the commons
We stop the vicious loop known as 'the tragedy of the commons' and the resulting fragmentation and (re-)activate the change.
Experience design
Learn by listening, experiencing and co-creating
Team event
We offer initiation and introductory events aiming at experiencing how work works, the 'system of work' from small groups (9-15 people) and large groups (+50 people).
These workshops fit perfectly in the agenda of team meetings, team building events, strategy workshops, customer and supplier engagement events.
Get out of the building
We organise opportunities to meet peers and visit organisations to catch some fresh inspiration and capture their story regarding activation of change.
Develop your own way
One day you will find yourself where 'no one has gone before'. The future is fundamentally unpredictable, yet to be uncovered through human action.
We like to join you and co-create the future.
System Modelling™ was created by Caitlin Walker; after working with and observing David Grove and assisting Penny Tompkins and James Lawley as they were developing Symbolic Modelling. Caitlin combined David’s ideas with models from transactional analysis, systems thinking and NLP to produce an approach for facilitating groups to make the most of the individuals within them.Find out more about Systemic Modelling here.
