Organisation & Leadership Development
Our Approach
We are GestaltOD practitioners, who use the gestalt approach to organisational consulting, along with dialogical and relational OD and action research to enable systems become more awareness of their life and business processes, and to support the necessary shifts they choose to make towards enhancing their personal, leadership and organisational effectiveness.
We deploy and teach clients scalable models that support change and improved effectiveness at all levels of system – individuals, dyads, teams, organisations, community and larger levels of systems – from a holistic and systems perspective.
At Nkum Associates we believe that multiculturalism, diversity, inclusion and social justice are organic aspects of organisational culture. So we practice, teach and model this in our work.
Collaborating to Achieve Success
Nkum Associates functions as a process facilitator enabling client systems to undertake self and organisational assessments, design change agenda in response to internal and external realities, implement change processes, and review success and challenges as learning and capacity building initiatives. We believe and practice in ways that ensure that the locus of control in all change processes resides with the client system. Our role is to function as awareness agents, supporting systems to clarify what they want, and how they seek to go about to fulfill their needs at all levels of the system from a holistic and systems perspective.
