What we do
When someone asks what we do at VNA, it’s tempting to point out our track record for helping to transform the world’s great companies into sharper, smarter, better versions of themselves.
But that’s only part of the story.
The rest of the story is about our people, our values, our passion, and our way of doing things-intangibles that can’t be financially measured or modeled, but that truly make the difference.
What drives us
We believe in the innate ability of people and businesses to learn, adapt and evolve. We believe in the impact we can have both on individuals and organisations. We understand the importance of incorporating the findings from the science of learning into our offerings and have a positive strengths approach to people and all aspects of our work.
Most importantly, we believe in building relationships between all of our stakeholders and each other to build trust and create highly successful teams.
Our Mission
To help make organisations great places to work by developing leaders who can create a positive climate and bring out the best in people.
Our Core
We ask questions to explore your ideal future and possible barriers for change.
Mindful leaders stand out for their ability to understand and manage themselves and thereby work effectively with others. Such technical and functional skills are a given expectation for most roles.
Appreciative Inquiry is an organisation development methodology based on the assumption that inquiry into and dialogue about strengths, successes, values, hopes and aspirations is in itself transformational.
