Practice (and not just theory)

Good relations and trust

Experience

For over a dozen years we have been working with companies of all sizes and industries. We were where many people, professionally connected with only one area, did not manage to be. Thanks to this, we are able to transfer solutions that have worked in one area to the next.

Proven methodology

In business, the margin for failure is very small. Instead of "reinventing the wheel" with different chances of effect, we prefer to use the knowledge and experience of others – those who have already succeeded and are still "in the game". Such a recipe "how to do it" is lean management and kaizen – methodologies that we use.

Practice (and not just theory)

Nowadays you have to constantly update your knowledge. But knowledge alone is unfortunately not enough. What we train and advise on, we also implement on a daily basis – both for clients and our projects. With many problems that some know only from books, we encountered in reality. We helped solve many of them.

Good relations and trust

It has been known for a long time that good relations and trust count in business. From the beginning of our professional career, we were guided by the fact that we could best help our client. When we became a team of entrepreneurs ourselves, it became even more important to us. If we are not able to help in some area ourselves, we will recommend you experts with whom we have been cooperating for many years. So that your business develops as you expect.

I am a graduate of Law at the Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw and a certified TRIZ practitioner (method of implementing innovative solutions), Extended DISC trainer and Toyota Kata practitioner.

Professionally, I run strategic and operational projects that increase the efficiency of companies in dozens of different areas and industries.

Agata Cierkońska

Continuous Improvement Expert

Professionally, I deal with consulting and optimization of business and operational activities of enterprises. I have over twenty years of experience, during which I had the opportunity to participate, lead and supervise improvement projects in various departments of the corporation, both those lasting from a few days to these several months.

Lean Management, Customer Experience, Agile or Design Thinking are not alien to me. I use various tools and methods of work in the field of project management, change management and lean business management. The most important thing is that they allow you to achieve the set goal. I analyze, train, implement, coordinate, conduct workshops, observe processes at the place of their implementation, and all this in order to find practical and quick solutions primarily serving people and responding to the real needs of the company.

Practice has shown me how many improvements can be generated if we find space to break away from routine activities, get inspired and think about our work in an unconventional way. And this is what I value the most in implemented projects – creativity, innovation, going beyond the usual schemes. I like active work with people, joint search for optimal solutions and satisfaction with the results achieved.

And after hours ... Well, I never get bored :), I fulfill myself as a wife and mother of a teenager, I am fascinated by nature and the one in my own garden and the one in the forest behind the fence. I photograph and paint, I collect beautiful books with the hope that one day I will read everything I have on my endless reading list. But before that moment comes, I will be happy to launch new optimization initiatives and I will be very pleased to work with your company.

Mariusz Bober

Expert and mentor in the field of management

I am an economist (after the Warsaw School of Economics) and a manager with 30 years of experience, including over 20 years in management at various levels: from lower management to management boards of large and very large companies (m.in companies from the KGHM Polska Miedź SA Group, Grupa Azoty SA), in manufacturing and service enterprises.

For several years I have been sharing my management experience and supporting small and medium-sized private enterprises. I conduct both trainings and workshops, as well as longer projects in which I take a position inside the company in order to adapt the management system and organization to the stage of development at which the company is located. This is especially true for enterprises that started as micro companies and thanks to the founder's talents have reached a size at which the owner needs professional support, primarily in organizing processes, delegating competences, communication and cooperation between employees, cost accounting, liquidity management, strategy and change management.

I value and that is why I have always cultivated – despite holding high positions – the ability to work "with my own hands". I can develop a strategy, business plan, financial forecast, or plan and implement a process.

My personality traits mean that I can be not only a contractor of business activities, but also an advisor and consultant. I like to help people come to their own solutions, I am focused on the effect of action and cooperation, not on personal glamour. This is also reflected in the way tasks are carried out: I am a supporter of the thesis that the effect consists of the work of each team member, which is why in every project I try to build a team, improve it, build relationships, etc. Which is not in contradiction with the fact that I have no problem eliminating team members who weaken the team, because "the chain is only as strong as its weakest link". My interest in communication in the organization and management psychology improves the effectiveness of action.
