There is no one-size-fits all formula to creating sustainable business success. Partly because it is a journey more than an end-state, but also because it depends on the company’s culture, ambitions, market challenges etc.
We customize our consulting approach to our clients’ specific needs, and it’s by working in a co-creative way together with clients that we have been able to create impactful results for a broad range of Scandinavia’s most respected companies and organisations.
In partnership with our clients, each side can bring their unique perspectives and experiences to the table. The client knows their industry, company culture and values, business model and ambitions, while TANIA ELLIS – The Social Business Company brings its expertise about sustainable business trends and practices to the table along with a carefully developed methodology, toolbox, process design and facilitation.
We don’t force options on our clients, but share examples, possible options and equip them with the knowledge to take the right decision for their own business. It’s something for them to own and enact, which creates much higher buy-in than having a path forced upon them. We have always worked with the principle that we would rather teach a man to fish, rather than fish for the man.
We always keep at the forefront of sustainable business trends and cutting-edge practices. These are informed by a wide cross-disciplinary network of business practitioners, policy-makers, educators and thinkers, entrepreneurs and corporates.
