An introduction to the new training and certification programme of Metaphorum

Dr. Krishan Mathis

I work as a consultant, thinker, and trainer for a win-win situation where the organization, the employees and the environment benefit equally. My topics are organizational design and agile working.

  • The Adaptive Organization. Organizations need to be successful and “people friendly”. They adapt, their values and their structures support rather than constrain. They focus on new capabilities: Learning and Innovation. Resilient is the new efficient.
  • Change is not enough. Agile Evolution. When you start down the path, only the first steps are visible; there is no complete plan or timeline.
    It takes more than a simple change or even a revolution, rather a fundamental shift from a static to a dynamic view. A one-time event is therefore not a sufficient description – the hard work always started after the revolution. Improvement is continuous like evolution.
  • Learning journeys: Competence is more than knowledge
    Learning is an integral part of work and must be modular and self-determined. I design learning journeys aka development concepts and have blended learning offerings with eTrainings and Tapas alongside classic training courses. If have more than 15 years of practical experience with training and certification programmes.

From systems to entrepreneurial ecosystemic organizations. Exploring Haier’s RenDanHeYi.


Emanuele Quintarelli, Krishan Mathis

How can a global manufacturer with tens of thousands of employees not just survive but thrive in turbulent times? Guided by its CEO philosopher, the Chinese white goods appliance leader went through four decades of strategy, business, and organizational reinvention, rewriting everything we knew about management. Based on years of direct collaboration with Haier, Emanuele will conversate with Krishan to explore RenDanHeYi’s ability to get rid of hierarchical control, top-down people management, centralized budgeting, organizational bureaucracy, distance from the market. They will compare the foundational RenDanHeYi’s concepts with VSM pillars to show how more and more enterprises worldwide may embrace unprecedented levels of self-management, entrepreneurial initiative, customer centricity, diffused value sharing, and ecosystemic thinking.

The Sapient Paradox as the consequence of a cybernetical bifurcation in the evolution.


Dr. Peter Robertson

Why did humankind create such a moral and ecological mess of this world, and why have we done that for only about 10,000 years? This question might be related to the Sapient Paradox, which emerged after decades of archeological and neurophysiological research.
