Methods
 
  

Systemic Approach

Mandl, Luethi & Partner assumes that changes in organisations and enterprises do not only take place through technological advance, but that adaptations in the interaction of subsystems (departments, project teams ...) also contribute to the process. These interactions (actions and decisions) however, are pre-determined by the existing structure. Successful and sustained change takes place when these structures are included in the innovation process.

  

Expert Methodology

Within companies, knowledge, skills, and improvements should result under the supervision of Mandl, Luethi & Partner. Our role is therefore that of a "catalyst" and not merely a specialist or an expert auditor. In order to fulfil this role, Mandl, Luethi & Partner brings expert knowledge and experience to the process. For methodical support Mandl, Luethi & Partner also incorporates expert methodology, particularly System Dynamics (for complex systemic analysis), project management, technology assessment, cost-benefit analysis as well as strategic management.

  

Communication Methods

Complex projects require constructive communication structures to master difficult or creative phases. The creation of these communication structures is as important as the expertise provided.

  

Coaching

As monitoring thinking partner Mandl, Lüthi & Partner offers coaching for individuals and teams. The advantage that groups and individuals draw from coaching is that the coach is free from both personal and structural conflicts of interest in the work environment.

Coaching is based on

  • asking interesting questions and attentive listening
  • methods to explore existing mental models and to identify hidden assumptions
  • the ability to see many sides of a complex issue
  • an intuitive understanding of your qualities and potential

The qualities of the coach are

  • authentic curiosity and empathy
  • a gift for creative approaches
  • that s/he offers guidance and support for self-reflection, rather than supplying advice
