Dr. Juanita Olaya Garcia

Organisational development lead, passionate about facilitation and process

We work in a purpose and value-driven way, and therefore ground our approach in the following guiding criteria:

Open-hearted and open-minded.

We strive to create a world where integrity, social change and human rights are respected and a daily lived reality. This means we choose to work for and with organisations that are willing to develop an internal culture in line with the changes they advocate for.

Meaningful participation in the work process.

We support clients to promote meaningful involvement of their stakeholders so we focus on process support and prioritize co-creation over content delivered externally. The process is as important as the result, so our work focuses on both.

Whole-hearted culture of cooperation.

We place people at the centre. We take care of relationships within our team and with and in our projects a culture of cooperation and teamwork.

Evidence-based work.

We undertake systems analysis and diagnostics, developing processes for the rigorous use of data with the objective of contributing to lasting positive change and informed decision-making.

Deep listening.

We believe in the importance of actively listening to our clients during the process of detailing our approach and while performing our work. This attitude allows us to adapt and to use the approach that fits your needs.

Systems Thinking.

We see organisations as systems, and see ourselves as supporters of their process of knowledge management and learning. We also see our role as supporting you to be autonomous and to continue to increase your capacity to cope with change.
