Think
Both&
The organisational
consultancy with a twist
A complex world requires differentiated considerations. Context matters.
We believe that things are often nuanced rather than black and white, ‘Both&’ more often than ‘either or’.
If you expect cookie-cutter, off-the-shelf solutions you will not get them from us. We avoid simplistic management fads, will not endorse mere lip service initiatives and see little value in cosmetic interventions.
Because we care.


Does Any of This Sound Familiar to You?
- Are you at the beginning or in the middle of a transformational journey, maybe even feeling stuck?
- Do you feel overwhelmed in your attempt to manage what seems to be oddly unmanageable?
- Is your organisation far more busy with itself instead of focussing on customers and making real progress?
As trusted partners and appreciative irritators, we support our clients in future-proofing their business and in establishing optimal conditions for fruitful collaboration, solution finding, decision making, innovation, value creation and execution.
We assist individuals, teams and whole organisations to adapt and strive, particularly in times of high uncertainty, and to make sense and act in complex contexts.
Our focus is on the human and cultural side of things. Putting it in the center of attention can result in a major competitive advantage.

This is why
we are in this together.
We can do better as humankind when it comes to collaborating to tackle today’s and future challenges, both organisational and societal.
In the business world we seem to stubbornly cling to the illusion of controllability and plannability.
We ignore the obvious: both human systems and their environment are unpredictable and can thus not be “managed”. Most of the traditional management literature misleadingly paints a picture of an ideal organisation as a perfectly functioning clockwork or machine.
We try to find security where we should learn to act in uncertainty instead and are surprised if things do not pan out as expected. Repeatedly.
Organisational success will increasingly depend on our ability to navigate complexity and uncertainty. In that regard our traditional ways have been inadequate. Cultural and structural legacy is often a roadblock.
The cost is high – a luxury no company can afford. With increasing awareness, competitive pressure in the field of management innovation will rise. We want to support our customers in standing the test and seizing the opportunity.
Time is of the essence in the light of the complex global challenges threatening no less than our very existence. The next decade will be pivotal for humankind, and enterprises will be crucial agents in shaping our future.
We have no time to waste with half-baked management fads and shallow, merely “cosmetic” interventions. Profound transformation based on solid theoretical foundations, hands-on experience and honest conversations is required.
The world only gets better because people risk something to make it better.

How we provide value
and what we stand for.
Human beings and their ingenuity are at the core of everything we do. After all, they are organisations’ reason for existence.
We see ourselves as your loyal partner, not as mere service suppliers, and prefer longer-term relationships over hit-and-run quick fixes. At the same time, we do not want you to become dependent on us and aim at transferring knowledge into your organisation.
You are the experts in your field. We will support you in finding your own solutions and in making them come true whilst continuously challenging you and ourselves. The starting point is wherever you currently stand.
Our experience spanning many industries provides us with a profound grasp of the dynamics at play. At the same time, we see a clear benefit in not being too involved.
It is our conviction that practice should be informed by, and experience should be complemented with sound theory.
Participative, co-creative approaches to involve those concerned are the essence for truly meaningful, sustainable results.
Besides its depth, we put emphasis on the breadth of our know-how and diversity of perspectives for novel insights. The latter is crucial to tackle complex, multi-facetted challenges. Concurrently we ensure coherence through a shared, overarching and holistic understanding of the wide range of interwoven topics we cover in our work.
There is a whole list of things we like and measure ourselves by. Some of them are curiosity, critical thinking, honest and open conversations, empathy, pragmatism, trust, reliability, straightforwardness, kindness, a pinch of humour and an unflinching commitment to sustainable impact.
