For Organisations

Development designed around your people and your context.

TAO works with organisations to build communication, leadership and negotiation capability through programmes built on your own situations and led by practitioners.

Who we work with

For organisations that depend on how people work together.

Every organisation eventually meets the same limits: decisions that stall, conversations that are avoided, negotiations that leave value on the table. TAO works on those limits directly.

  • Companies
  • Leadership teams
  • Professional organisations and associations
  • Educational institutions and universities
  • NGOs and development organisations
  • Project and functional teams
  • Emerging-leader and graduate cohorts

How an engagement works

From first conversation to follow-through.

Organisational programmes follow the TAO Method at a larger scale: understand first, then design, then deliver, then make it stick.

  1. Conversation

    We listen to what your team is working through and what a good outcome would look like.

  2. Assessment

    We clarify the context, the people involved and the behaviours that need to change.

  3. Design

    We propose a programme (format, duration and content) built on your own cases.

  4. Delivery

    Facilitated, experiential sessions: frameworks, practice, feedback and reflection.

  5. Application

    Commitments, follow-up and a short summary of themes for your leadership.
