Performing for ambition

Since 2011, Libya has been a country without a leader. Armed militias draw new boundaries. It is unclear who actually rules the country. Making appointments at the national level is not possible. The country is unsafe. People still do live in this country. Quite extreme circumstances. Every day is another challenge. And it continues. Around the country, people take a stand. In their own community, they manage to find a solution or make life a little bit better. "Somehow" they engage beyond borders - the start of a coalition. How do we make it work? How do we establish a real coalition in a country defined by dictatorship for so long? How do you get a Libyan coalition functioning? 'Little Libya' in a room and it starts to work!  We may  facilitate this process and it is possible.

“And we all find something of value in the next steps. That's what it's all about. Performing for ambition. Forging an action plan in progress. Time and time again. You act. You watch what happens. And you adjust. An ongoing process of fine-tuning. Reciprocally."

Key elements

With our partners and clients, we looked for the heart of our business. What elements (and when and why) are at the core of our joint success?

I.

Personal contacts are the foundation. Here we find opportunities. Not just service delivery.  No endless tenders. We stand united. We stand for what we want to achieve. In a crucial coalition. And ensure it will flourish.

“Everything starts when people meet each other. People who actually see each other, recognize something, have a bond. It's about a real connection. The quality of the encounter and the bonding thereafter as the foundation for performance."

II.

Getting aboard in regard to what needs to be done - without hesitation. And starting with a shared point of view. As it is essential to have a mutual fascination for what lies ahead and to experience similar challenges. With the aim to ensure it remains this way, all the way.

"A target is not a full stop, but an areato be explored."

III.

Adjusting as a core task. Carefully looking at the effects and determining the next step, again and again.  Lessons learned are integrated whenever possible in what lies ahead. Both flexible and driven.

“The freedom to function is not found in word games or in any theory. It only exists in practice, this freedom. Thus, you do engage as needed with the headquarter, a steering committee or a controller. You stand up for what you believe in. Always and consistently."
