THE MEANING OF
: … T X NE LET’S FACE IT:
WORK DOESN’T WORK. Organizations as we know them – formed by needs of the industrial revolution, hierarchies of people and power – are the answer to questions of the past. Shaped by a dominant mindset of a bygone century - where leaders and economists believed in equilibrium, unlimited growth and rational behavior of people. We live now in a world that is defined by exponential change and inescapable uncertainty. Current and future organizations and their leaders need to find answers for a world facing new challenges.
Think digitalization. Think disruptive innovation. Think globalization and its social challenges. In its pivot toward 21st century organizational design, a global movement – and dwarfs and Giants being a hub in it – had found an emerging practice of leading, organizing and working with revolutionary potential.

OUR PURPOSE Rewriting the future of organization. Catalyzing the evolution of wholesome organizations.
OUR NAME The metaphor of dwarfs standing on the shoulders of giants (Latin: nanos gigantum humeris insidentes) expresses the meaning of „discovering truth by building on previous discoveries“. Although attributed to Bernard of Chartres in the 12th century, its most familiar expression in English is in Isaac Newton’s letter of 1676, “If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.”
WHY Organizations are among the most powerful forces on our planet. Yet, the way most organizations operate today gets in the way of leveraging their full potential for the benefit of our society. We believe in a different way of organizing for a complex world: responsive organizations that provide a wholesome space for people to reach their highest potential. This is the goal we aim to achieve together.
OUR ORGANIZATION The clarity of our purpose shapes and guides our work and how we organize ourselves. We live what we say. We practice what we want to catalyze in your organization.

WE DO
REWRITING THE FUTURE OF ORGANIZATION!
Most companies were built on a predict-andcontrol paradigm. A model that enabled companies to thrive in the last century is now becoming the Achilles heel in an ever-more dynamic and complex environment. dwarfs and Giants stands for next organization design and strategy development. We focus on supporting our clients to navigate the complexity of the 21st century. We help to push your organization, your culture, your work, your roles toward a future we´ve all just begun to re-write and build.
