Why Eastern philosophy in business?

Eastern philosophy by nature focuses on long term sustainability and harmonious relationships.
In a business context, it looks at the big picture of business, economy, and society and focuses on virtuous relationships aimed for long term balanced profitability.
This means establishing harmonious relationships between employees, customers, vendors, stockholders, market and societal trends, etc. When this relationship is established, the organization becomes more resilient and able to overcome challenges and conflicts with ease.

What we do

We customize our services to our clientele. Below are the most common requests we receive: We consult with management on how to interpret and use the virtues described in Eastern philosophy when dealing with difficult situations and resolve them with integrity and dignity.
We advise on how to “read” the changing market environment based on the five element theory (e.g.which areas will be growing, timing of product launches, etc.) We advise on how to restructure organizations based on the intrinsic nature of the business (businessculture) and the business owner (business owner’s talents and temperament).
We advise on hiring staff (e.g. talents and temperament of the potential new hire, positioning of the new hire, etc.) We can also advise on interpersonal relationships which may be affecting the organization as a whole.
