PlanB’s methodology is based on systems theory, Schein’s model of organizational culture, Senge’s theories of the learning organization, and methods for action-based learning.
We have developed an original model, the Strategic Loop, which through repeated processes supports the organization in its change process.
PlanB uses a variety of methods and tools, including the Learning loop, Appreciative Inquiry, Open Space, Deep Democracy, Cafe Dialogue, Reflective Teams, Covey’s Seven habits, Strategic Visioning, Change Implementation Assessment, PROSCI’s fundamentals of change management, Kotters 8 steps for leading change, Project Health Check, and 360-degree personal feedback.
We coach both individually and through reflective team and group coaching.
Examples of tests we perform are the MBTI, DISC and Belbin Teamroles.
