100% hero-free method

We believe that great organizations, organizational development and growth do not require heroes. That transformation does not require consultants. That in complex times, top managers need not be heroes at all. Accordingly, our method, which includes OpenSpace Beta, Cell Structure Design, and LearningCircles by Red42 is 100% hero-free!

New from Red42: Cell Structure Design

Red42 published Cell Structure Design as an open source social technology in June 2019. The roots of Cell Structure Design reach back two decades: It is based upon the BetaCodex and Beyond Budgeting, as well as on 16 years of client work by Niels and Silke.

The magic ingredient to the Necessary Organizational Renaissance

Organizations in complexity need internal learning economies - well beyond traditional Learning & Development (L&D), knowledge management, personnel development or leadership programs. In companies, learning method must be effective for the individual, for the team and for the organization. That is no easy feat.

Red42 aims at researching and developing self-organized, group-based, engaging, insightful, weaving, and immediately effective learning economies for today´s organizations. Built on coherent, contemporary didactics, or learning method.

 

Didactics is the key. Great didactics focus on mastery, not just knowledge. It promotes self-organized learning, not dependence. It produces individual and collective insight, not just individual experience. It is enamored with social interaction, not with technology. It is mind-boggling & stimulating - never boring.
