At the heart of Qualia’s work is the conviction that personal development, business development and community development go hand in hand.

We believe in investing our talent and resources in the local communities of which we are a part. We are especially committed to supporting social enterprise projects that build capacity for citizen involvement, and to working directly with people at significant and challenging points of change in their lives.

In corporate and community contexts, we work towards unique outcomes that have a strong ‘solutions focus’. In solutions-focused work we put energy into creating what we want, rather than on changing what we don’t want. This can be quite a radical starting point, as it moves us to action with a focus on the future.

We begin by understanding and respecting people’s ‘current reality’ as well as their ‘future vision’ of where they want to move to. From this starting-point, we help build capacity for growth through a range of tools, processes, models and approaches that provide transformational insights. These insights often enable leaders and teams to be more creative and intuitive.

At Qualia we draw on a ‘field’ perspective to explore wider contexts than usual and surface what is ‘below-the-radar’ of everyday awareness. From a field orientation, our job is to identify unseen patterns, make creative connections and amplify useful forces for change that might come from within the culture, history, brand, value-chain and even locale.
