GO BEYOND:
SOLUTION-FOCUSED POCKET MENTOR FOR WORK EVOLUTIONISTS
BOOK 1: START TRANSFORMATIONS TODAY
BOOK 2: SUPPORTING THE EVOLUTION OF COMPLEX SYSTEMS
We are committed to supporting work and company evolution by spreading the tried-and-tested tools of solution-focused organisation development and design. So far, we have done this mainly via our client work, internationally accredited courses, the Native in Change and the Master in Change courses, teaching on the international educational platform LABA and speaking at conferences.
We also would like to go beyond and spread the word that there is a way to support people, teams, companies, and business evolution that better fits our times and the needs of contemporary organisations.
`This first book is for everyone who feels we could be doing things better at our organisations and are ready to start the change by themselves. It gives you new lenses on how to see contemporary organisations and their challenges differently, how to discover their potential, and the tools to start creating transformations or, better yet, support their evolution in small but steady steps. It focuses on the theory and tools to support individual and team evolution from any role in any organisation.
The second book is for the next level when you are ready to tackle larger systems` evolution. It guides you through the steps of the solution-focused organisation development and design process, supporting you with tools, canvases and case examples.` - Elvira Kalmar

BOOK REVIEWS
`The book is at its strongest when presenting exercises and transformation paths that align company activities with purpose and shift beliefs about what is possible. Personally, I particularly appreciated Kalmár’s ideas on managing parallel realities within organisations—how not to be distracted by the legal sphere and instead maintain an ecosystem-based perspective. The way change processes are visualised as long-term Preferred Futures is also compelling. I am sure all SF practitioners will appreciate Kalmár’s clear and detailed examples of designing corporate change and transformation journeys. The book includes examples of workshop structures with suggested timetables, phrasing to help people manage their work more in terms of roles rather than positions, and guidance on expanding agile development to the organisational and OKR (Objectives and Key Results) levels. In addition to being useful for internal or external organisational developers, this book can also serve as a guide for SF practitioners looking to develop their own businesses.`- Marika Tammeaid in The InterAction Collection OF SOLUTION FOCUS PRACTICE IN ORGANISATIONS · Vol 17 - 2025 Edition
‘The central premise of this book, apart from the smart way a Solution Focused (SF) approach seeps into the fibre of its pages, is the notion of a ‘Work Evolutionist’. My initial, admittedly cynical, reaction was that this was an appealing title conceived before a theory. Nothing could be further from the truth. The concept is grounded in many years of practice at the cutting edge of organisational development (OD), with SF foundations running throughout.’- Darren Priest in Journal of Solution Focused Practice, 6th October, 2025.
