Who we are
If you didn't already know, Way Beyond is a studio that creates innovative learning and transformation experiences for people, teams and organizations.
What we do and want to do
First of all, we help you identify the questions that are really important to ask.
Consider us a set of eyes and ears well trained to identify what really matters.
We are not experts in every field and what we do rarely fits into one category. But our specialty, conversation, allows us to approach and contribute to any field.
Through our methodologies:
-
Our name is the basis of our approach. We go beyond the obvious and beyond the information we are offered. We work with existing perceptions and create our own, listening to what is not said and observing what is invisible but noticeable. There is rarely direct causality, which is why our systemic perspective helps us identify the real causes.
The expression "in a blacksmith's house, a wooden stick" tells us that, most of the time, only an outside perspective allows us to really see. We put ourselves inside without ever being outside.
-
There are conversations that need to happen. We believe that in any human relationship, when something is missing, conversations are missing. We serve as hosts and facilitators, shaping the conversations necessary for a person, a team or an organization to flourish. Any conversation is, and must be, unknown terrain and a space with an unpredictable outcome. We become guides who don't necessarily direct and who direct attention to what really matters.
-
We want to become obsolete, dispensable, redundant and for our proposals to be considered ridiculous. We believe that organizations should invest in their culture and in their people so that service providers like us aren't needed. If our work is done well and has the impact we want, our wish will come true.
Examples of what we've already done
Tell us your challenge and we'll offer you:
-
... to design new ways for people to relate to what they do and discover more about who they are, as we did at AbbVie.
-
... so that teams and companies can discover and create their own cultures, which are evident, concrete and can be practiced, as we did at Addagieto.
-
... to explore paths that lead to evolution and growth based on greater trust, alignment and clarity, as we have done at Galp.
-
... to learn how to learn, transforming information into knowledge, and knowledge into wisdom, as we did at Kelly.
-
... to use conversation as the "technology" for transformation, as we did at Fidelidade.
-
... to create space for counseling and for relationships, towards personal and professional development, as we have done at PwC.
Problems we like to help solve
-
We have a lot of experience with this kind of challenge. However, the ways we find to help mitigate them are not just to design a training program. We analyze the context of these people, the culture of the organization, the real willingness and readiness to change, not just the people but the organization, so that new ideas can be implemented. For us, leadership is a mixture of art and science, and we help to develop both.
-
All the services we offer - coaching, mentoring, facilitation, etc. - are also subjects we can teach. We are experienced facilitators used to designing innovative and in-depth learning experiences.
-
We believe that productivity and the quality of relationships between members of teams/organizations are inextricably linked. We help to combine them in a collaborative way, bringing our ideas and harnessing the individual and collective intelligence of our clients.
-
We help define and materialize purpose and vision, translating them into strategy and the latter into daily rituals.
-
Through a series of workshops and other forms of facilitation, we work with the team(s) in question, mapping out workflows, dependencies and relationship/communication records. We provide communication plans and clear actions to take.
-
One of the key ways to ensure that you are designing the right culture for your organization/team is to test your ideas. We help you find the "minimum viable solution" to move forward.
-
We talk to people - leaders and all relevant stakeholders - to help define a comprehensive perspective on the current and desired situation. We synthesize the key results and co-create your path forward.
-
We love this kind of challenge! Someone who has different experience, has arrived in a new organization/team and is struggling to change the status quo. We work together to create conditions and implement actions that improve the current experience.
Questions we want to help answer
We want to do more and do it differently, to find answers to questions like:
☐ Why do organizations need services like those provided by Way Beyond? How can we create the conditions in which we are no longer needed?
☐ How can organizations, and teams within them, promote mental health?
☐ How can people detect and monitor mental health situations?
☐ What does it mean to be sustainable in everyday life?
☐ How can each of us adopt a mentality that translates into more sustainable practices?
☐ What legacy does each person, each team and each organization want to create, starting today?
☐ How can we redefine "leisure" and "work" so that they are not "like water and oil"?
☐ How can we organize our work so that we're not constantly exhausted?
☐ How can we avoid the "second shift" of work we take home?
