Bioss is a global network of organization and people development consultancies. Bioss has research-tested and field-proven its understanding of individual capability and organizational complexity for over forty years in twenty-two countries spanning five continents.

Some of the models and approaches through which Bioss can help your organisation are:

  • Tripod of Work
    A leader creates optimal conditions for decision-making through the key activities of Tasking, Trusting and Tending. These three ‘corners’ of the Tripod of Work in turn support the Judgement, Review and Coherence essential to the organisation’s resilience in the face of turbulence and change.
  • Four Journeys of a Leader
    Help leaders derive meaning by understanding and synthesising four journeys of life:

    1. The public journey is our experience at work, in which we put our capability into the public domain
    2. The private journey is all that belongs to the place we leave and return to each day
    3. The personal is the journey through which we care for ourselves and find time and space for reflection
    4. The underlying journey is what unfolds for us over the years, and an important element in it is the growth of our capability
  • Matrix of Working Relationships
    The Matrix of Working Relationships is leveraged for Bioss’s organisational design and development work.
    The Matrix can be viewed as a whole or divided into three parts:

    1. The Operational Matrix
      Levels 1, 2 and 3, where the themes of quality, service and practice focus on adding value for the present, and results become apparent within a shorter time horizon
    2. The Organisational Matrix
      Levels 4 and 5, where themes of strategic development and strategic intent focus on longer-term objectives of the organisation, and time horizons stretch for longer durations
    3. The Strategic Matrix
      Levels 6 and 7, where themes of corporate citizenship and corporate prescience focus on long-term strategic functioning and sustained viability of organisations for future generations, with time frames exceeding 25 years
