About us
FrontierShift is the specialist in leadership through transformation. Leadership today is to a large extent the ability to change more rapidly and effectively than your competitors and the ability not only to react to change but to initiate change, launching new ideas, creating or transforming markets, rendering messages, programs, products or services of competitors obsolete in one blow.
Our DNA
Continually shifting frontiers
Unconciously, our ways of thinking and working are limiting our possibilities, are inhibiting us to see and seize opportunities, to work more effectively and efficiently, thus representing a sizeable opportunity cost. FrontierShift has chosen not to follow trends but to run ahead, to question established views, and when necessary to cut against the grain. That is why we are the partner of choice to those who dare to shift their frontiers.
Solution company
Theodore Levitt, the marketing guru, used to say "People don't want to buy a quarter-inch drill. They want a quarter-inch hole!" He put his finger on the heart of the problem: most consulting firms still want to sell their competencies and reports instead of building the solutions the client really needs. This explains for a large part the huge percentage of failed projects. FrontierShift's mission is to deliver solutions that produce real value for our client's. We connect thinking and acting for concrete results.
All specialists under one roof
You don't achieve lasting results with people that can only implement software. You also need people that can think of marketing strategies, organize events, build web applications, understand the specific needs of your industry, redesign business processes, guide an organization through concurrent changes in business and management processes, technologies, organizational structures, and cultures. Frontiershift has all the competencies, expertise and tools to effectively intervene in the different areas of organizational transformation.
World leading experts
Our people are among the world top in the fields of organizational change, human change, strategy, program management, project management, new technologies, business processes, communication, marketing, policy making, and event management. FrontierShift is the partner of choice of the leading politicians, governments and organizations of today and tomorrow. Our expertise acquired on over a thousand projects for leading clients worldwide enables us to approach uncertain and complex situations with more judgement, knowledge and resolve than anyone and come up with decisive solutions.
Our approach
Client-driven
Each project is first and foremost about the client. About his processes, his people, his way of working, his solutions. At FrontierShift we believe in a maximum involvement of the client's personnel - from c to work floor level - in each project. This allows our advice, our services and products to fit as closely as possible to the needs and the vision of the client; the transfered knowledge to better stick; and to create the capacity that will enable clients to successfully meet future challenges themselves.
Contextual
There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution that would serve all companies, all departments within a company, or even all projects within a department. There is no panacea that works anytime and anywhere. At FrontierShift we know that every solution track is highly dependent on the context, and how essential it is that we seek for each company its own adaptation to reality, in a creative and innovative way, so that we find solutions that are in line with the identity of your company, work for your company, address its needs, and are a source of differentiation from competitors.
Holistic solutions
In a multi-dimensional world a change can only be successful if you address all its aspects. These are entangled to the point that it would be impossible to address them separately. An effective approach can only be holistic in nature. That's why to FrontierShift an implementation of new technology is not an answer in its own right. It must be part of a fundamental change in business processes, organizational structure, in the people themselves, the social environment and in the management approach.
Create added value
People tend to immediately ask 'how do we do this?'. That's as if you would start to saw wood before you know what you are building. FrontierShift asks a different question first 'what do you need?'. This is followed by 'what does this require?'. How can I bring together all elements in a working solution? When we've got this covered we look at the options that could get us there. We look into each option in order to withhold the ones that will best realize your objectives. Only when we have decided on the course of action do we ask ourselves for each selected project 'how do we do this?'.
