Approach
KDVI’s methods are based on clinical research and 40 years of work with top executives. Our interest is in creating better places to work. Our experience is that organizations with a coaching culture are less stressful and report significantly reduced manpower turnover, increased productivity, and greater job satisfaction. Such organizations have a strong corporate identity and a committed work force. Creating a coaching culture enables executives to manage better across boundaries in highly complex matrix-like structures, to think and plan more strategically, to manage risks more effectively, and to create and communicate vision and mission more clearly—no matter where in the world your organization operates, or how local or global your orientation is.
KDVI practices a unique clinical orientation to leader and leadership development and organizational change.
- The intervention methods and instruments we use foster personal and professional growth by exploring conscious and unconscious dynamics.
- In our work we acknowledge and give insight into the emotive, cognitive, and irrational processes involved in interpersonal and organizational interactions.
KDVI focuses on a holistic and systemic approach to individual and organizational transformation. No one operates in isolation, so we intervene on three levels—individual, team, and organizational.
- Individual leadership coaching focuses on maximizing personal and professional potential.
- Team coaching helps teams achieve greater commitment, collaboration, accountability, and results, particularly when facing key organizational challenges, or where there is open or hidden conflict.
- Organizational coaching aims to create a coaching culture assisting social capital and well functioning networks of people in the organization.
KDVI emphasizes group coaching methodologies.
- Organizational change is achieved by teams, not by individuals acting alone.
- By creating “tipping” points, leadership group coaching makes change more likely and coping with change more constructive.
KDVI has a global outlook.
- We work to capture and share global knowledge.
- We use a worldwide network of talented, clinically trained leadership consultants who have a solid understanding of group dynamics in the business environment.
- We explore and incorporate different cultural paradigms for leadership.
- We specialize in organizations where multi-culturalism and geographical diffusion are the norm.
