 START (v): to begin, to switch on, to bring into being, create, and to fire up

The definition of the word ‘START’ inspired the creation of the Company START – the Art of Change. START is a business that enables - through CREATIVE PROCESSES - the beginning of doing things in a different way, of switching on people to themselves, of bringing into being a novel way of creating, of firing up innate creativity and thereby stimulating innovation.

START – the Art of Change assists organisations to develop and retain their talent by customising structured workshops that use ART as a vehicle for individual and business transformation.

We lift performance by developing creative processes that focus on change management, individual and team development, appreciating diversity, stimulating creativity and collaboration, and cultivating environments that foster innovation.

In today’s competitive environment, it’s all about people. Our belief is that by stimulating, developing and investing in your people in new and exciting ways, you catalyse your organisation to new heights. Through Start’s unique and fresh initiatives you will be giving leaders and employees a meaningful experience that will amongst many other benefits:

• aid talent retention as people feel valued, supported and heard
• build teams and improve communication and collaboration
• deepen awareness of self and others – enhances diversity appreciation
• stimulate creativity and ‘out-the-box’ thinking
• greatly reduce stress 

  So if as a Business Owner, Human Resources, OD or Training Specialist:   

• You experience employee fatigue, low morale and the resultant lack of creativity and out-the–box thinking?
• You are looking for ways to reenergise and revitalise your workforce and build teams that can innovate and collaborate?
• Require leaders to understand themselves better in order to lead others?
• You are tired of the usual approaches to strategy sessions, team buildings, staff development and other external consultant interventions?

...Contact us now and we will meet with you to design a process to meet your unique needs and challenges.

• For those who would ask, '... and just how does art benefit my business?', I would offer, "If your business has important, pioneering work to do, then develop artful capabilities in your associates just as well as technical skills, else you'll work at half-strength at best, and risk losing all the benefit of their passion." Now, there is a connection between art and the bottom line.

Inspiration for Start

Having experienced the transformative power of creative process and time in my personal life and the impact that it has had on my work life, I wanted to share this discovery with the organisations and people I was encountering through my change management consulting work.
