Proven models
Cornerstones of our approach are proven models developed by our Founders Fons Trompenaars and Charles Hampden-Turner, and Peter Woolliams. Intellectual Property developed by decades of research and consultacy that makes our approach uniquely data-driven and effective.
Why THT Consulting?
Trompenaars Hampden-Turner is built on pioneering work in culture and leadership.
Its founders, Fons Trompenaars and Charles Hampden-Turner, helped shape the field through influential ideas, global research, and landmark books, including Riding the Waves of Culture, recognised by Thinkers50 as a Management Classic. Their work continues to inform our approach through insights such as: "Any value disconnected from its opposite leads to a pathology" and "The value of a value is in the degree to which it helps to reconcile a dilemma."
That foundation matters because many performance challenges are not caused by a lack of effort or intelligence, but by unresolved tensions. Safety and speed. Global and local. Cohesion and autonomy. These are not choices to make, but opposites to reconcile.
This is where THT stands apart. We improve organisational performance and health by assessing and strengthening how well critical opposites are reconciled, drawing on a proprietary large-scale global database. We translate the demands of your vision and strategy into the values needed to deliver them. We then translate those values into concrete daily behaviours, so strategy becomes reality in execution.
