Clients frequently seek the help of consultants when they have a problem that needs to be solved.  It is our observation that the ills modern corporations experience have been caused by their adoption of  potent, overly focused and unbalanced management concepts.

Re-engineering is only one such management concept to afflict the modern corporation. VBM, EVA, JIT, TQC, etc., the acronyms are endless. Each of these concepts is fundamentally imperfect. They are overly focused on one area of the corporation. In correcting for one problem they complicate or ignore another. Lack of a complete perspective results in further difficulty for any company that implements them. An alternative must exist.

inter-fas has crafted a unique new lens for viewing the whole corporation; its areas of strength and weakness, energy and enervation, change and stagnation, future and failure. This tool is a complex systems approach to understanding the emergence of successful self organization and evolution within the corporate enterprise.  It is a tool which the executive can immediately adopt to view, understand, guide, change and grow the corporation. We call this tool Holistic Corporate Management.

Our pioneering work on the application of concepts of complexity science to management also led to insights on the nature of markets, products and value creation.
