IRiS : Regenerative Implementation of Strategies
Living the complexity of our times m akes it paramount for organisations to adopt methodological consultancy approaches allowing for the development and the acquisition of optimal resources and tools to foster Change Management.
This is why Hermes Consulting has developed IRiS a proprietary methodology able to support companies in the implementation of their strategies.
Our approach aims to build and sustain a management model and corporate culture designed to create an active and responsible involvement of all people in the actual implementation of strategies.
We do it by building a web of connections and constructive feedback which can redirect and reorient actions towards the attainment of our clients’ objectives.
IRiS has a sustainable DNA, which allows it to transform the values of responsability into tangible successful results triggering virtuous changes capable of creating long lasting benefits for all stakeholders.
IRiS : Your Business as a living organism
We see the company as a «Social Good» a living system embodying the backbone of the society we live in from an economical emotional and spiritual point of view Like any other organism the company is made up of several intertwined small units representing its vital centres
At Hermes Consulting we want to be that red thread that fosters the interdependence between the different organs of the company bridging what the brain thinks and the refined movements of the limbs
We truly believe that only through a strong interconnection between all cells of this larger system can the company make great strides and embark on a journey into the future
Just like in the human body where the brain communicates with all the organs and make them move by providing specific inputs, the leadership of an organisation needs to engage and lead all its components so that they move in harmony towards a common goal
Exchanging information and providing constant feedback to each function allow the company to constantly regenerate and adapt itself to the context
Our approach aims at supporting the company, seen as a living organism , in all its functioning for the
realisation of virtuous and sustainable changes over time.
To do so, we follow three main principles:
- We have a clear vision to share.
- We establish connections within the organisation over time to involve the entire business community by fostering the involvement of every cell of the system.
- We activate a generative dialogue to co create the future and activate responsibility at different levels to pursue results.
Our main Purpose is to help companies bring about an all around sustainable transformation.
We lead businesses towards a solid and bright future, as we believe that the people within the system actively participate in shaping it.

A leap into your future
Unica-Mente
Together, towards the Common Good
- To bring about strategic change you first need a cohesive and aligned Management Team willing to define the vision to be turned into a concrete, project based plan
- We start off by creating an extended team involving all the people representing the various corporate functions We identify them as the Leadership Change Team i e the “ of the organisation hence shifting from «I» to « We »
- We facilitate a moment of exchange in which we identify the cultural drivers that can best support the company’s strategy and the results we want to achieve
- The corporate Vision and Purpose are brought to life The Values are co built together giving people tangible strength and confidence, thus releasing the proper energy to work on a common project
- We nurture dialogue and stimulate the team to an authentic confrontation so that the complexity stemming from different points of view can emerge and the potential levers to implement generative and sustainable practices can be highlighted striving towards the COMMON GOOD
ConVision
Co creating a new Tomorrow
- To reach a common goal, it is important to share the sense of this journey at all levels of the organisation so that everyone contributes to the result.
- In ConVision we activate a process of visioning and cooperation within the corporate community to better outline the strategy, identify problems that may undermine it and work on cross cutting objectives.
- Is the result clear? How to get there? What are the drivers for achieving them? What are the obstacles to be faced along the way?
- This is where priorities for action are discussed, and resources are identified.
- ConVision is a place of co-creation where connections are built to develop engagement towards results.
Delivery Lab
Defining your priorities
- During our Delivery Labs, the concrete change design work set out during ConVision is developed. This is where we work on the natural resistance and obstacles given by past habits, so that together we can choose which new paths to pursue and how to overcome difficulties.
- It is a space for dialogue and negotiation where Vision and Values represent the beacon for operational choices.
- This is a very important phase, as it is when the organisational culture merges and new solutions arise and are forged.
- People think together and welcome each other’s contributions as opportunities for progress. Intuition is then backed up by a solid, well defined method of negotiation and co design.
Action Lab
Turning thoughts into actions
- It is not enough to decide to implement an innovative intervention. It is essential to identify how to realise it and test it in order to implement it effectively.
- Action Labs are acceleration paths towards the result. They consist of guided interventions that combine the latest innovation practices with the AGILE methodology, achieving outstanding and tangible results in a short period of time.
- Once having outlined the result to be achieved in accordance with the company’s needs, vision, values and purpose, a brainstorming and problem solving phase is developed so as to get to potential solutions which are subjected to a realistic evaluation and subsequent skimming. This leads to the choice of the solution to be implemented and the
virtual stress test. - The last phase involves the implementation of a pilot project which, through the monitoring of the KPIs and results, is later refined and finally extended.
Mindset & Skills Lab
A new mindset for powerful change
- Not ony has t he mind of the organisation to be aligned with the movements the body needs to make, but we also have to take into account if it is ready to actually embark on this journey.
- Change must be supported by a re skilling process fostering the expression of new behaviours and skills that need to be highly functional to the realisation of the organisation’s strategy in line with its values.
- We look at these interventions as a form of training for the body that the company personifies, so that it can react to events with great coordination and responsiveness in order to face change with dedication and constancy.
- This is why we talk about Transformative Learning. It is about broadening the overall perspective within the evolution towards a dynamic and growth oriented mindset so as to develop valuable cross cutting, and extraordinary skills.
Sharing
From Communication to Engagement
- Communication is paramount when paving the way for a change. That is why it is placed right at the heart of our flower connecting each module. It is about building a bridge that can reach out to everyone and generate a functional dialogue.
- In this phase information becomes a great opportunity for a two way exchange. We truly believe that all people should be the main characters of this transformation Everyone can provide examples of their own experience of change as the company is told through the stories and accounts of the people who actually make the change.
- We deeply value and cherish what individuals feel and encourage their full empowerement.
- Communication ties up concepts to behaviors, becoming a spark of change through objects and symbols. We see it as knowledge, transmission, integration proximity and transparency. It creates empowerment through the language of stories and the practicality of experiences and exercises.
