Most organizations come to us with one question and find a second one along the way. A reporting deadline turns out to be a data problem; a strategy that will not move turns out to be a conversation no one has had yet. We work in two fields — sustainability and strategic relationship management — and in both, we begin with the real matter rather than a ready-made program.
Sustainability
Sustainability Reporting & TSRS
The Türkiye Sustainability Reporting Standards (TSRS), built on the ISSB’s IFRS S1 and S2, have turned sustainability reporting from a voluntary gesture into a regulated obligation for companies within their scope. Alongside TSRS, we work with the global frameworks companies are read against — the GRI Standards, SASB Standards, the International <IR> Framework (IIRC) and the UN Sustainable Development Goals — so that one well-built data process can serve more than one of them. In most organizations the hard part is not writing the report but finding the data: it sits in different departments, in different formats, and often has never been collected at all. We build the process from the ground up — which data, from whom, how often and by what definition — prepare the team to run it, and write the report together.
İSFALT, an Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality company — its first sustainability report, prepared on the GRI Standards and the SASB framework.
Integrated Reporting
TSRS defines how sustainability information is disclosed; an integrated report, built on the International <IR> Framework, connects that information to strategy, governance and the way a company creates value over time. One meets the obligation, the other builds the meaning — so we design them as a single process rather than two separate projects. Our founder led the team that wrote Türkiye’s first integrated report.
Darüşşafaka Society — integrated reports since 2020. Platinum in all six categories entered at the MarCom Awards (2023), and two first places for Best Integrated Report at the first ERTA awards (2025).
Strategic Planning
A strategic plan begins less with writing goals than with seeing clearly where an organization stands today. We run strategy workshops with leadership teams and staff, map stakeholders, and turn shared priorities into a plan people can actually carry out.
İstanbul Chamber of Industry (İSO Academy) — strategic plan training for company managers since 2021.
Perdesan — the company’s complete strategic plans, prepared under an EBRD advisory support program as one of the EBRD’s approved consultants.
Good Governance
Governance describes the climate of trust within an organization — the order that defines how decisions are made, who is responsible for what, and how that responsibility is overseen. Good governance means that order runs in a way that is transparent, accountable, participatory, measurable and predictable. We design programs that carry these principles out of the policy document and into everyday decisions.
Birgi Mefar Group — “7 Principles, 7 Delegates”, a sustainability-based good governance program now in its third year. TEGEP Learning & Development Award, 2023.
Gender Equality
We run gender equality, diversity and inclusion workshops built on concepts, field data and real cases — shaped around each organization’s own priorities, so that awareness has somewhere to go.
Sompo Insurance — “Equality Works” at Dive In, the global festival for diversity and inclusion in insurance.
BPW İstanbul — online gender equality training for members and volunteers.
Strategic Relationship Management
Negotiation
Negotiation is the art of building lasting cooperation from the resources at hand, guided by ethical principles. Our founder is one of the first two certified Contract Negotiators in Türkiye. We tailor negotiation programs to the realities of each sector, with case analyses, role plays and one-to-one coaching modules.
Sompo Insurance — “The Negotiator’s Road Map”, with individual and team coaching modules.
Marm Assistance — reputation and strategic relationship management training.
Consensus Building & Conflict Management
In most organizations the problem is not a lack of communication but its reflexes: rushing to solutions, judging, assuming. Through case-based workshops, we help teams recognize these reflexes and choose deliberately between competing, collaborating, avoiding, accommodating and compromising.
Ray Sigorta — “On the Same Track” workshop series.
Volvo Türkiye — corporate empathy and active listening workshops.
Executive & Successor Coaching
Senior leaders sometimes need a second mind they can trust — experienced, discreet and standing outside the matter. We work one to one on strategic positioning, stakeholder relationships and difficult negotiations. In family businesses, succession does not begin on the day of the handover but years before it; successor coaching makes sure that long preparation is not made alone.
Biesse Türkiye — strategic mentoring with the Middle East Sales Manager on leadership, sphere of influence and strategic clarity.
Team Coaching
We use personality inventories, one-to-one sessions and Points of You® tools to help teams see how they actually work together — and decide what they want to change.
NETPAK — “Creating the Whole Together”, a team coaching kick-off.
Marm Assistance — team coaching sessions with managers.
