Complexity made simple

Complexity...

We live and work in a complex world, whether we like it or not. The Hofstede model acknowledges the complexity of work life, by containing eight (semi-)autonomous dimensions. The Hofstede model is with eight dimensions rather complex. When we compare e.g. the model of Quinn and Camerone, consisting of two dimensions, with ours this can be made clear as follows:

The 2 dimensions of Quinn and Camerone create 1 diagram consisting of 4 quadrants. When combining 8 dimensions just one by one, we get 28 diagrams with each 4 quadrants creating in total 112 quadrants. The number of combinations in the case of 8 dimensions does not stop here, as we may also want to combine more than 2 dimensions at the same time.

Until recently, our certified consultants had to write their own reports based on the numbers generated by our quick scans. This was a tough task and as a consequence many salient findings were overlooked by those consultants as they could not be turned into scolars during a two-day seminar.

...made simple

We have overcome this problem by partnering with FeedbackDialog, a Finnish IT company. Their report generating software creates on-line reports containing most salient findings presented in a concise and digestible way. This allows consultants to focus on the change journey.
