OUR COMPANY
We are Power + Systems. We are a people development and consulting company dedicated to unleashing the full, positive potential of individuals and organizations. We have built our unique business on a powerful combination of decades of ground-breaking research, insight-filled books, and highly engaging, experiential workshops.
Power - we help you, and your organization, to maximize your people power – the ability to influence and lead, to create positive impact and lasting change – from any level or part of the organization.
Systems - we help you, and your organization, to increase your ability to think and act more systemically to effectively manage the increasingly complex world in which we live and work.
Power + Systems = Transformation - We help our clients create lasting change whether they are within: a multi-national company, non-profit, government agency, school system, faith-based group, family, or community group. Our systemic approach helps people understand and leverage the predictable patterns that exist in organizations and the reflex responses that we, as human beings, often use to respond to them. Once people understand the systemic nature of organizations, they can identify more powerful strategies for success, and most importantly, put them into action.
"A mind once stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions" Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
Our company was founded in 1975 by Barry Oshry, a pioneer in the field of human systems thinking. Consequently, our work is solidly rooted in observations of how people can perform at their best within the context of an organization. Through over four decades of research with all types of organizations, all over the world, we have built a powerful set of insights and actionable strategies that supercharge the ability of individuals and organizations to achieve their goals. We help people see and act, with more clarity than ever before - in ways that will increase their ability to achieve their goals and fulfill the mission of their organization.
