Independent management consulting for general managers, boards and family business shareholders

Lasting changestarts with seeingthe whole.

  • Symptom
  • Mechanism
  • Root cause

In a company, the visible problem is rarely the real one. Our senior team uses SEFHA OHC™ to trace symptoms to their root cause and produces a clear diagnosis the board can decide on. If you wish, we then design the change and put it into practice together.

In the first meeting we talk about where your company stands today and what its priorities are.

Holistic Change Beyond Consulting

  • We have the same discussion in every meeting.
  • The reports get written, but nobody discusses them.
  • When that one person is away, everything stops.
  • Everyone tells a different story about this company.

The symptoms look alike; the causes differ in every company.

The real cause is usually hiding somewhere else.

Problems rarely start in a single function. Tension in one area shapes decisions in another. We name these tensions and strike the balance between them that fits the company's reality.

  1. Growth

    Speed vs. control

    Fast growth loosens control; tighten control and you lose speed.

  2. Governance

    Centre vs. delegation

    The more decisions gather at the centre, the weaker authority and ownership become in the field.

  3. Performance

    Effort vs. results

    Everyone works hard; how much of that effort turns into results stays invisible.

The future of the company and the generational handover for the shareholder, the quality of decisions for the general manager, reliable numbers for finance, an independent view for the board: all of them look at the same picture.

Everyone sees one link of the chain. We show the root cause beneath the symptoms, from the outside and with evidence.

We see the system, not just the parts.

The eight areas do not stand apart from one another. Management decisions are read through these connections, so we look at all eight together and put leadership at the centre.

  • Holistic
  • Systemic
  • Actionable

Click on an area: its connections light up and what we look at opens.

What we look at

Leadership

Governance, decision rights, management rhythm and delegation. All seven other areas connect to it.

Directly connected areasStrategy · Organization · Processes · Finance · Supply chain · Digital · Future

When one slips, the whole picture blurs; fixing a single area does not bring the picture back into focus on its own.

Diagnosis

SEFHA OHC™

Organizational health check

Examines how a company is managed across eight dimensions, and finds the mechanisms beneath the symptoms and the root cause that feeds them all. The outcome is a diagnosis the board can decide on and a prioritized roadmap.

  1. SSee the system
  2. EExamine the evidence
  3. FFind the gaps
  4. HHarmonize the whole
  5. AAccelerate the change

What is on your table at the end of the work.

SEFHA OHC™ is delivered not as a single document but as a set management can work with. At its centre are the diagnosis the board will decide on and a prioritized roadmap. The roadmap does not depend on implementing it with us.

SEFHA OHC™ delivery set: Organizational Health Report, Financial Structure Analysis, Workforce Structure Analysis, Action Handbook and Sector Note booklets
Delivery set: Organizational Health Report, letter to the shareholders, presentations, financial and workforce analyses, action handbook and tracking, sector note. Each document is a separate booklet.

Understand first. Then change.

As scattered accounts are tested against evidence, they come together in one clear picture.

  1. 01

    We listen

    We listen without prejudice to what management, the team and the field tell us.

  2. 02

    We test it in the field

    We see on site the gap between what is said and what actually happens.

  3. 03

    We connect the dots

    We trace the second-order effects of a decision in one area.

  4. 04

    We prioritize

    We single out the critical levers and focus energy there.

  5. 05

    We design the change

    We build an implementation path with clear owners, timelines and measures.

AFTER SEFHA

And if you wish: implementation

The diagnosis is complete once the report is delivered. If you choose to walk the transformation with us, we build the implementation path together with your team and hand it over through training and mentoring. We call this work Management Rhythm.

The same table every month; how the month will close is visible before it ends.

Services

Deep dives where it matters.

Every company's needs are different: one family business wants to talk about professionalization, another about growth. Once we have seen the whole, on request or in response to a specific need, we go deeper in the areas that will create real impact. We ask the right questions to gather the right data, and design solutions that work in practice.
