Those other guys act like aliens from outer space

Difference is a fact of 21st century business life. Globalisation, complex supply chains, alliance business models, highly specialised technical skills all make modern organisations unwitting test sites for how different tribes can clash.

Throughline brings to leaders a range of methods to help make differences easier to manage. As the first Itim Focus-certified consultancy in the UK, Throughline has unique expertise in mapping the culture of teams within an organisation or alliance using The Hofstede Model©. Cultural x-rays are a fast, affordable way to:

  • determine how cultural factors are shaping the behaviours and outlooks of people in work settings
  • design culture change coaching that zeroes in on the real points of friction
  • gain lasting insights that can reshape resourcing and incentive plans to minimise conflict and develop teams geared to collaborate better

We design workshops to build common understanding – not in a gratuitous way but because guided conversations can shape how differences are negotiated.

We coach key leaders on culture dynamics. Differences won’t dissolve, but they can be professionally and ethically managed.
