Research and thought leadership

Modern society favors the development of organizations that provide reliable services and products. Hence, transformation is difficult as there is resistance to change, especially in well-managed, reliable organizations. Radical transformation requires a fundamental shift in the way organizations and individuals represent the world in which they operate. This change of representation then leads to large and small actions on an organizational and individual level that, in turn, drives transformation in communities and society. At ESMT our cutting-edge research provides the foundation on which positive and effective transformation can take place.
