Satir workshops is an aggregate of independent facilitators using Satir concepts and skilled in providing the emotional support required for safely learning from those concepts for purposes of system effectiveness and maturity of excellence.

Best size for aggregates like ours is 7 (plus or minus 2) facilitators. If we are with more, we split up for more aggregates, preferably based on geographical location. Each aggregate develops its own form fitting their context and people.

We enjoy working together. We work on demand and closely with local facilitators and consultants to put ourselves out of a job as quickly as possible. We imagine that “who were they?” as we ride off into the sunset (or sunrise depending on your perspective and location).

We are also releasing associated media and works for minimum effort/maximum impact of the “congruence meme”. Congruence is highly contagious and we’re making it even easier! Our gain? As a result, we do not get paid for pushing a “copy button”. We get paid for our time and energy actually transferring skills and abilities for the purpose of increasing maturity of excellence. We love what we do!

willemthumbnail Willem van den Ende is a Dutch eXtreme Programming pioneer. He started programming at age 10, so the two things he has done for at least 10.000 hours are programming computers and observing people. This enables him to adopt a very flexible and improvising attitude during workshops. He has the ability to let people see things differently.

No workshop is ever the same, so neither is it’s business model and licensing. We use “fairness” and “value stream mapping” for forming our business models and licensing strategy, and come prepared to be surprised.
