Our strength lies in the experience gained by working both inside large organisations and outside when providing them with facilitation, coaching and training services — in world-wide and multi-cultural environments.

From 2001 to 2009 we worked with many organisations of the United Nations system (UNIDO, UNODC, UNEP, UNICEF, IAEA, UNDP, IMF), European Central Bank, ING Real Estate Ibérica, Allianz, Fédération Européenne des Associations Nationales d’Ingénieurs - FEANI, Heifer International, Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe - OSCE, European Council for International Schools - ECIS, etc.

The Sandpit was designed on the basis of a complex systems approach; it presented a case where 2 “systems” – natural scientists and social scientists – met to establish networks of interaction between the two groups, and to initiate joint research projects in what might lead to “system” coupling.
