World Class Experts at Your Service

We work with clients around the world on strategy, planning and problem solving with our main objective being to help clients develop business skills and knowledge in order to further improve their performance.

We offer a selected pool of experts who have many years of experience in the field and highly successful track records. To put it simply, they are all world-class leaders and highly respected in their field of work. Having worked with major organizations from all over the world, they not only bring knowledge into the organization but also insights and to the point solutions.

We assist corporations in designing their executive development programs via analysing their current position, identifying their organizational goals for the future and determining the right strategy for their executive development needs.

Despite the enormous investment (trainings, courses, workshops, online seminars, conference attendance and so on) the workplace today is as dysfunctional as ever. As far as corporate training is concerned there are 5 areas or keys that we help our clients evaluate and analyse in order to determine their training priorities.
1. Where is my organization today and where does it want to go?
2. What skills and behaviours are required to take that journey (both short term and long term)?
3. Who do we have on board (taking into account skills, commitment, determination, age, generation and personal motives & needs)?
4. Out of all the things that we need what is our training priority?
5. What do we expect as an outcome of this training. How will we measure the training’s effectiveness?

A crucial part in our approach is the fact that we help our clients identify and reach out to the appropriate experts for their industry and specific requirements.

Building High Performing Teams

A working team is essentially a collaboration and coexistence under a common umbrella, which in the business world is referred to as the mission of an organisation. Effective and efficient teams are gestated and matured where there is the absolute consensus that a team produces results greater than the sum of its parts.

Nowadays the fundamental platform on which an organisation can form high performing teams lies on the realisation that each member of the team is a leader on his/her own right and that his/her work is extremely crucial to the overall success of the organisation. It seems counterintuitive but it has been proven over and over again, that efficient teams are those where all the members are  and consider themselves to be leaders. Building a stunning team, means to  actually nurture conscious and aware leaders.

Our consulting on building high performance teams is built exactly aligned with these ideas: To give examples, to teach and finally to transform through experiential exercises, executives into fantastic leaders and from that point on members of hugely successful teams.

Culture Evolution

The approach to culture evolution has been designed with one aim in mind – to help you and your organisation BECOME the best you can be – so that you can achieve the most ambitious performance goals that you set for yourself.

Aga Bajer does not believe in “one size fits all” and she makes sure that the methodology she uses is tailored to your unique needs, your context and your goals. She and her team spend significant time with the key people in your organisation to understand the current culture, your aspirations and your must-win battles.

The BECOME methodology

Baseline

This is where we establish your starting point. We use a robust methodology including surveys and qualitative data collection in order to take a clear and in-depth assessment of your current culture.

Engage

Data is great but it’s not enough. At this stage we engage your people in a series of conversations that help us to understand the outcomes of the Baselining stage, as well as what would be the best way to align your purpose, your strategy and your culture. What we are aiming at is to understand what behaviours will drive the results that you need to achieve to fulfil your purpose and bring your vision to life.

Chart the way

As soon as we know your starting point and where it is that you are heading, we are ready to chart the way forward. This stage is all about designing the architecture that will enable you to cultivate the kind of culture that has the power to bring your vision to life.

Operationalise

This is the stage where a series of interventions are being implemented at three levels  – individual, team and organisation. We start small and right where the real work happens – no theoretical training, bombastic campaigns and exorbitantly expensive roll-outs. Instead, we focus all our energy on the smallest possible group of people who can spread the desired behaviours and practices to others.

Maintain

For new behaviours to “stick” and lead to sustainable change at the deeper levels of culture, we use proven reinforcement mechanisms that help people to do what’s right, even when nobody is watching. 

Evaluate

This approach works but no need to take our word on it. We will perform pulse surveys and an evaluation survey to measure progress and help you decide how you want to keep evolving your culture, so that it always supports you in what you are trying to achieve.

Aga Bajer, Culture Strategist | Author | Team and Executive Coach

Aga is  a culture strategist and she works with organisations, teams and leaders around the globe to help them shape a culture that brings their vision to life.

The question at the core of her work is:

“HOW CAN WE CREATE A WORLD WHERE PEOPLE WILL LOVE SHOWING UP AT WORK”?

She blends experience as:

  • a leader, in companies big and small
  • an experienced consultant who worked for giants like Korn Ferry (HayGroup), and PwC
  • an executive and team coach
  • a researcher and an author

…with her unstoppable and insatiable curiosity about what works and what doesn’t work in organisational and social change.

What drives her?

An average person spends 90,000 hours at work over their lifetime.

That’s 11,250 long days.

Aga wants to help people make this time count.

Her mission is to help organisations harness the power of culture to create a world where people love showing up at work.

The values that guide her…

IMPACT

She is passionate about finding solutions that work, not the ones that feel familiar, look good on paper and that please everyone. She is in a relentless pursuit of game-changing ideas and solutions that have potential to transform an ordinary organisation into an extraordinary one.

COLLABORATION & CO-CREATION

She’s naturally driven by curiosity and seeks to create strong partnership and collaboration with her clients, colleagues, and suppliers, enabling her  to figure out what would work best for each client. She works with companies and leaders who she respects and values –  their needs and points of view are truly important for her.

SIMPLICITY

True expertise and knowledge never take the form of incomprehensible mumbo-jumbo. Nor do they result in excessively complex solutions. She’s on a mission to demystify organisational culture, making the topic of culture more accessible, relatable and less overwhelming in its complexity. And most of all, simplicity means working with transparency and humbleness.

CONNECTION

Change never happens in a vacuum. It’s only through deep and authentic connections between like-minded people that a culture can change. She’s deeply committed to facilitating these connections to enable groups of committed individuals to work together effectively for the vision they want to bring to life.

APPROACH

Her  approach is science and evidence-based. She makes the complex issue of culture as simple (but not simpler) as possible, uncovering all the crucial and fundamental forces at play, so that you can take the right actions to bring about the change you seek.

Aga has worked with clients such as Toyota, Porsche, Sanofi, GlaxoSmithKline, Vodafone, Amdocs, SAP, Hellenic Bank, Eurobank, European Patent Office, Wargaming, Bank of Cyprus, UNITEAM, Bernard Schultz SHIPMANAGEMENT, Eurolife, Novartis, Cyprus Academy of Public Administration (Cyprus Government), PwC, Citibank, Dixon’s and many others.

Designing a Vision for the Future

Many organizations confuse mission and vision. A mission is simply put a statement about who you are. Vision is not just a statement. It is a set of ideas that describe a state – where the organization wants to be in the future. Missions rarely change and should be very clear. Visions are dynamic and drive constant learning and innovation.

Because of its nature, when organisations form a vision, it is extremely important to have a great understanding and grasping of the future (technology trends, socio-cultural trends, economy trends etc.) Vision formation also means a long term process involving all departments and employees. After all, one of its main purposes is to drive inspiration, excitement and stretch creativity, so it must involve everyone within the organization.  At the end of the process different parts of the organization probably will have different visions but this is expected because a vision is a roadmap leading into the transformation of the organization, or in other words the vision is what currently aligns an organization with its mission.

Vision consulting is not a typical consulting project by any means. It demands a great investment of time and high level of employee involvement. It is a process that will bring to the surface the constraints, pitfalls, bottlenecks and misbehaviors of the organization while at the same time build the roadmap to enhance, create, innovate, correct and eventually transform.

It is a long term process that affects all aspects and departments within an organisation thus everyone should get involved. It is a process that ignites change & transformation, not a vision statement. Depending on the client case, Maria brings expertise from consultants around the world in order to analyze and forecast trends, examine competition, evaluate the strategic positioning and enable change.  As her approach to vision is that it is an opportunity and tool for ongoing progress, she facilitates organizations to communicate their vision internally and keep the flame alive.

Maria has worked closely on various projects with companies such as Piraeus Bank, Sanofi and Leroy Merlin.

Executive Coaching

You are in a leadership position and you have a terrific vision to move forward.

You are hard-working and smart.

You have a great track record of career success.

You aren’t afraid to rock the boat and to do what it takes to make a positive change.

And yet, your progress is slower and harder than anticipated because:

  • not everyone is on board with the changes you need to make
  • there’s not enough time in the day to do it all
  • the culture seems misaligned and unhelpful

What if you could…

  • achieve far more with significantly less effort
  • trigger a self-sustaining forward motion on your key strategic priorities
  • have people do the right thing even when nobody’s watching

Aga Bajer helps leaders like you to create a culture that brings their vision to life.

Her  approach to executive coaching is informed by over 20 years career and experience as a leader, consultant, researcher and author.

In her work with clients, she uses a unique blend of disciplines, including neuroscience, cognitive-behavioural psychology, anthropology, sociology, systems theory and many others.

She uses her BECOME process that enables her clients to harness the forces at play in their life, putting them firmly back into the driver’s seat and connecting them to the most reliable source of power and strength available to a person.

Happiness at Work

Over the last decade research in the field of positive psychology has shown that positivity, happiness and optimism fuel performance, and that cultivating positive emotions foster motivation, resilience, creativity, and productivity.

Indeed, results of over 300 scientific studies have consistently demonstrated that happiness leads to success in almost every domain of human activity. Happy workers have higher levels of productivity, produce higher sales, perform better in leadership positions, demonstrate higher loyalty, work harder, perform better in teams, receive higher performance ratings and higher pay.

Flourishing organizations provide a positive organizational culture, promote collaboration, focus on strengths and on the well-being of their employees. Happy employees are more productive, creative and resilient in times of change and uncertainty

Main themes in the training and coaching process involve:

  • Harvesting the benefits of Positive emotions
  • Building positive relationships
  • Identifying character strengths and maximizing personal potentials
  • Incorporating mindfulness and self-compasion to build resilient and productive teams
  • Applying positive psychology principles to foster resilience, engagement and productivity.
  • Acquiring meaning, vision and purpose in life
  • Defining personal values, strengths, and passions and connecting them to the work and personal life.
  • Developing skills, strategies and behaviors that enhance team building, inspiration, creativity and innovative thinking.

Maestro Leadership Workshop

The Maestro Leadership Workshop is unlike any other leadership workshop you have ever experienced and is based solely on Itay Talgam’s Maestro Leadership Program. It is a customizable workshop based on target requirements and can include collaborations with local string quartets or even bigger orchestra’s.

In these workshops or consultations the participants are able to look at the culture of their organization as a whole, and at the way their own style of leadership and those of their colleagues, work within the framework of that particular culture. Managers can also be expected to be more aware of diversity as an asset of the organization, and of their own performance as trainers, mentors and motivators.

All participants can be expected to have an enhanced ability to examine themselves as team members, and new appreciation of the importance of supportive and collaborative behaviors.

When whole units of business organizations go through “maestro” training, the new, alternative  ‘musical’ vocabulary becomes available, and serves as a ‘softer’ medium of communication – releasing tension and reducing alienation from the workplace, and promoting a feeling of ‘fun’ and satisfaction.

Clients of The Maestro Leadership Program include among others HSBC Bank, The United Nations Leadership Program, Red Arrow, Chanel and Nike.

More information about the program can be found on www.talgam.com.

Itay Talgam, Conductor, Author, Consultant

Itay Talgam is an orchestral conductor turned into ‘conductor of people’ – be it in government, academia, business, education, therapy –  anywhere the creation of human harmony through cooperation is desired.

Itay has been working with many Fortune 100 companies, and is keynote speaker to many of the world’s leading conferences, including TED Global (Oxford), Google’s ZeitGeist (California, London), DLD, and the World Economic Forum in Davos. His talks, based of continuous dialogue, have been experienced either directly or on-line by millions of participants and viewers. His book, “The Ignorant Maestro”, has been published by ‘Penguin  RandomHouse Books’ (USA and UK editions) in 2015, and was since published in 10 other languages.

Itay sees himself as a disciple of his great teacher, Leonard Bernstein. Itay’s international conducting debut took place in 1987, when he was chosen and presented by Maestro Bernstein in a special concert, conducting the Orchestre de Paris, Bernstein himself conducting the second half of the same concert. Since that highly successful performance, Talgam conducted many orchestras in Europe, being the first Israeli conductor to perform with the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra and the Leipzig Opera house. He also conducted and recorded with all of Israel’s major orchestras, including the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.

Reinventing Customer Service

Service is essentially taking action to create value for someone else. Building a service culture is a strategic, long-term initiative that requires sustained focus and commitment on one hand and inspired leaders, committed managers, dedicated supervisors, and motivated front line staff on the other.   What we offer is a consulting that will create alignment inside your leadership team, enable you to evaluate your current service culture and learn extremely efficient strategies that will help you get your customer service to the next level.

If someone would like to get more specific, some crucial cornerstones of the reinventing process of our customer service consulting program include choosing an appropriate language to articulate the service vision, communicate that to every service provider inside the company, identify areas of improvement, set priorities for action and establish responsibilities, create a common service language.

This kind of consulting is for companies and organisations that fully understand that fantastic customer service is not something that can be evolved with frontline training initiatives but with the collaboration and highly engaged participation of the senior executives.

Systems & Design Thinking – Innovation

One of the first entrepreneurs to implement Systems and Design Thinking in Business Innovation, Alex Athanassoulas speaks emphatically about the need to constantly change to remain contemporary and attractive in a VUCA world.  Agility can be achieved only through a shift of company culture to one that totally embraces or desires change at an ear when large, even robust, organizations fail to keep up with the accelerating pace of change and become irrelevant.  For that, Alex works with companies center outwards to produce viable sustainable models that adapt or even reinvent themselves to keep ahead of the curve and defy life-cycles.  With a combination of financial and non-financial KPIs, Market Research, Experimentation processes, feedback mechanisms and trend hunting, Alex works for his clients to install concept or business evolution processes as an integral part of their management systems.

Team Coaching

Your team has an ambitious mission to achieve.

Each individual brings something valuable to the mix.

Everyone is qualified to do the job.

And yet, it feels like you haven’t fully tapped into your collective potential because:

  • there are too many meetings that get you nowhere
  • some members seem to be contributing less than others
  • there is a lot of underlying conflict or tensions

What if you could…

  • get everyone aligned and energised
  • trigger a self-sustaining forward motion on your key strategic priorities
  • have people do the right thing even when nobody’s watching
