THE KGOTLA® PROCESS
Using our proprietary Kgotla® process we facilitate structured dialogues with your whole company.
Every. Single. Employee.
This is incredibly powerful and effective for 3 key reasons:
By involving everyone in your organisation, you get problem-solving insights from the front-line.
A group is always smarter than individuals and wisdoms are exposed from across the ranks.
Inclusivity means you get company-wide support for your final leadership decisions and directives.
IMPACT STORIES
KLM has been a Kgotla client since 2003. In 2014, they introduced the Kgotla Workplace at Schiphol — bringing scattered departments into one hub built on openness, where leaders decide in dialogue with their people.
Rabobank Utrecht's 550 employees faced a decade of radical change in pensions and financial responsibility. Kgotla reached every board member, director, manager and employee in 7 days, driving decisions ahead of a restructuring affecting 110 local banks.
RESULTS
Workers at a Rio Tinto mine in South Africa had grown unsettled by rumours of closure and safety concerns. Kgotla ran a 10-day, operations-wide dialogue reaching more than 3,800 employees — surfacing 520 ideas and turning them into 36 concrete decisions.
RESULTS
HOW WE WORK
Kgotla uses the Universal Life Cycle (ULC), a dialogue-based methodology for exploring complex challenges together. Instead of jumping to quick solutions, groups move through phases that deepen understanding and reveal new insights.
Through circles, storytelling, and guided dialogue, participants connect different perspectives and develop shared direction. The result is clarity, stronger relationships, and decisions people are ready to support and implement.
