Seeing the Field

One of the worlds first leading social technology companies

Ohten are a social technology company thinking hard about sustainability

We never quite knew how to describe what we did…people would ask us…

“What is Ohten?”

…are we a training business?
…are we a consulting firm?
…are we a strategy house?
…are we an advisory business?

We always struggled somewhat with how to answer this!

However, what we are beginning to realise that what we do helps create a fundamental shift in how people see themselves, their role in their eco-system and how working and leading in this way creates a more fruitful way of being at work. It drives performance of the system as a whole, creates more mindful and mentally healthy workplaces and also drives economic growth. The what we do is actually “social technology”. Creating ways of thinking, feeling and being that are understandable, impactful and, above all, usable. These models form Ohten’s unique social technology platform.

So when we are asked now…”What is Ohten?” We say “We are a social technology company”

…it starts a different kind of conversation!

Increasingly market-leading businesses recognise they are a contributor to and depend on the health of the industry ecosystem they operate within. A new awareness of what it will take to shape cultures and leaders to thrive in this complex web of interdependencies is opening up. Ohten’s leaders have worked with some of the world’s leading academics, change makers and senior executives on this agenda.

EcT

OO

We are committed to bringing what we have learned and what we are exploring to those less able to access programs from a funding perspective.

What We Do

We have helped some of the world’s most pioneering business to...

Build long-term sustainable relationships with their most significant clients and customers by creating a shared vision of what their combined highest potential could be. Thus adding almost a billion dollars to the value of those key strategic partnerships.	Forge a new way of leading away from “EGO”, a self-orientation and a win-lose culture to “ECO” where the focus is on how we create a brighter future together with our colleagues internally and our customers and key strategic partners externally.
Taking a long-term sustainable view of realistic growth based on authentic and shared understanding of what the eco-systems highest potential is in any given strategic partnership or key customer relationship.	Build more mindful and mentally healthy cultures and customer-facing teams. Find more joy and liberate more passion within their teams and their client relationships.

Ohten creates a safe space for human development by deployment of its “social technology” platform. The platform comprises a unique and integrated collection of behavioural models that have been proven to drive significant and lasting human change from EGO into ECO.

The Ohten Guiding Principles...

Our work can help to save the world through key businesses and the massive influence they can have for good and positive change. Doing more than our bit to ensure we all leave a healthy planet; mentally, physically and economically for future generations.

Approach our work with an open heart, an open mind and an open will. Seek to create safe spaces for experimentation and co-design that allow often historically competing entities to seek the highest potential in a future they can create together.

Develop our current and design new social technology platforms that continue to help our clients and their key strategic partners, key internal functions/divisions, key clients or suppliers to see things in new ways. See through the eyes of ECO not EGO, and build levels of trust that provide healthy workplaces to flourish mentally, physically and economically.

Be the change we seek in the world…keep asking what else can we do…and must we do to create a sustainable future for leaders in an increasingly disruptive and changing world in which the old ways are ceasing to be effective any longer.

Love our work and find clients who feel the same way we do about this issue. TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE. Allow things to unfold do not force things to happen. The universe is our guide.

Push the boundaries but always be mindful of the need to deliver practical no nonsense work that people can access, understand and get moving with quickly. Our stuff needs to be easy but work at a deep level with people.

Build “Social Technology” platforms that we pass on to our clients and others in our Ecosystem that do not require Ohten to be onsite to activate for the medium term.

Invest in ourselves to stay at the forefront of what “social technology” means and needs to be for the next 100 years.

Take time to rest, play and nourish our hearts and minds with those we love the most.

Do this as long as it feels like a fire burning so bright you could see it from outer space.
