growth by design

Every organization has an essential, intangible something — an energy, an élan vital, that inspires people and provides a sense of deep connection and mutual purpose. Alignment across its purpose, products, people, process and values energizes all involved to contribute. However, growing and dealing with various challenges, and building systems and structures to manage this evolving organization often drives away the original energy and force.

At human centered, we design ways to preserve this energy that is so vital to fuel growth - for you, your stakeholders, your teams, your organization and society-at-large.

human centered

Human centeredness involves working with creative and destructive tensions, regressive and progressive actions, paralysis and movement, social and psychological structures, conscious and unconscious motivations, and fantasy and reality. Such a way of working gives birth to a third dimension, and it is in this intermediate area that things actually happen, and the deeper work of change occurs.

Approach

Past clients

Development at the level of the individual, group or a whole system is a form of artistry and design making. For this reason, we draw predominantly from hermeneutics – the science of interpretation and meaning creation. Simply put, development is a constantly emergent, interpretive act – continually seeing the context with new eyes, in which we focus on our experience with others, learning itself, on discovering questions, and on the constant creation of meaning.
