Product

Imagine what 2500 years of human reflection and experience can do when tailor fit to your management ‘needs’.

A philosophical assessment of your presenting concern in executive format. We believe a wise assessment is often more fruitful that an undisputed assertion.

PAGE is a thoughtful document which will give you a powerful new perspective on your subject of inquiry so that you can take better decisions going forwards.

It contains a position on your problem, a new point of view, specific remarks and examples, a theoretical analysis and suggested readings. All in one page.

No two PAGEs are alike, and the only quality they have in common is the stamp of a mind grasping a problem and solving it.

We are doctors in philosophy (PhD holders). We think about things to enable other people to do things. We are not ivory-tower intellectuals. We have a sense of practical reality.

If you hold a PhD in Philosophy and are interested in working with us, let us know your motives and philosophical expertise.

We are not guiding you towards an objective, petting you, solving your issues or motivating you, but, instead, shifting and enriching your perspective on a particular ‘concern’ —so that you view the situation from a different vantage point to previously – based on the wisdom of philosophy.

We are not psychologists, psychiatrists, spiritual gurus, coaches, instructors, mentors, consultants, head doctors, priests, social counsellors, or therapists.

With respect for those disciplines, we are philosophers who provide thinking based on knowledge and wisdom. We belong to the field of the Humanities.

Psychological, emotional and behavioural issues are beyond the scope of our work.

Wise your thinking, therefore your decisions.

We acknowledge the success of AI to perform certain tasks more efficiently and accurately than humans. However, we believe the unique qualities of human reasoning -cognitive production and understanding- are not yet easily replicable by AI systems.

User

This is for you if you need to assess a situation with intelligent perspectives so that a new understanding enables you to make better decisions.
This is for you if the growing need for information and shrinking time resources are arresting your own development or keeping you from living a more conscious life; if you are afraid of questioning reality or walking your own path alone; or, if you simply aim at getting a better picture of the world to manage the daily sea of decisions needing to be taken. Also, you may just want to qualify your own beliefs and ideas, your management approach or, prepare yourself or your team for what lies ahead.
This service requires an openness to new knowledge and perspectives. A willingness to revise one’s core beliefs and approaches in considering new evidence which leads to better reasoning.

Services

You may contact us via e-mail to request PAGE. We will respond and arrange a talk to discuss the issue.

You will need to put into writing (half a page) the situation you would like to be assessed.

We will evaluate your request to assess if we have the knowledge and wisdom to be of service to you.  Then, we will agree on time, costs, and deliverables. Our first task will be to make sure the problem to be assessed is fully understood. This may require some discussion. Once that has been grasped, the thinking process can begin.

You will receive your PAGE in 15 days after your written briefing has been approved.

New clients start with PAGE. Other services are available upon request or personal commission.

Team

Your project will be carried out by the founder and at least one other main thinker.

We believe that philosophy is as a creative endeavour. The creation of concepts and outlooks through wisdom and knowledge opens up new venues to us. Philosophy helps us to clarify management issues, make sense of our daily realities and to live better lives.

Pragmatic wisdom involves making decisions and judgements which are not only deeply insightful but also of real-world effectiveness. It combines the practical know-how of dealing with everyday problems with a deeper understanding of underlying principles and connections. It is not just theoretical, but it involves applying knowledge and understanding. It is rooted in our both personal and collective experience.

We apply reflective adaptability, ensuring that wisdom is dynamically applied to meet the demands of ever-changing real-world contexts. This approach allows such wisdom to guide practical reasoning and support impactful actions.
