We are a research and consulting organisation helping individuals and organisations to navigate complexity, change, and human dynamics. Our Professional Development, Research and Evaluation and Consulting services are provided with rigour, reflection and care. The Institute is a UK not-for-profit organisation with charitable status, established in 1947, with sister organisations in Germany and China and a global programme of work. Our approach draws on a rich history of of highly influential research and practical applications and interventions in organisations of all sectors around the world. We apply social science methods to address research questions and creative, psychoanalytic and systems approaches to respond to organisational challenges. How we work We focus on how humans relate to each other and non-human systems, how we grow in character and how we embrace learning, creativity and change. We work across disciplines and draw on a rich mix of expertise and thinking. We create safe spaces for difficult conversations, by listening, observing and engaging in dialogue. We work with and for people in everything we do. We work with hidden and sometimes unconscious factors...whilst staying grounded in the context and in what might be under the surface. Our practice is evidence-based and we depend on data - both that which is derived from rational research methods and that which is derived from explorations of the mind. We are able to play with ideas, myths and stories to deepen the meaning and application of our research outcomes. We partner with our clients to achieve the best outcome, journeying with them to access and apply their own resources. We are ready for the unknown and we work with curiosity and also with confidence. We can take helpful risks for clients to reach the goals of our work together. We'd love to hear from you.
