Ashoka

Krauthammer supports Ashoka’s mission, the development and professionalism of social entrepreneurship. Under the terms of the partnership, Krauthammer delivers ongoing structural support in the form of coaching, facilitation and training to Ashoka’s Fellows and staff.

Ashoka is a citizen organisation serving the development of social entrepreneurship as a transformative force in the world since 1980. Its major aim is to seek out first-class social entrepreneurs with pattern-changing ideas, and to enable them to succeed over their long life cycles.

Ashoka’s work has already led to the creation of a community of more than 2,200 of the world’s leading social entrepreneurs, working in every sector in over 70 countries, eager to effect positive change on a wide scale.

In order to build the infrastructure of the social sector, Ashoka also develops a range of other programs, such as the IMPACT Contest.

“The cooperation so far has been mutually rewarding, and we share the view with Ashoka that social entrepreneurs, who have a system-changing idea, are the best hope for correcting long-standing dysfunctions in society”, comments Ronald Meijers, Co-chairman of the Board of Krauthammer.

Founded in 2000, Crossknowledge is the European leader in remote development of managerial skills using new technologies. An international company founded in France by four directors with backgrounds in strategy consultancy, distribution and human resources, Crossknowledge designs, develops and markets the fullest catalogue on the market, with almost 300 multilingual training schemes, tackling all management themes.

Krauthammer and CrossKnowledge have signed a global strategic agreement.

This agreement provides for:
- development of in company customised solutions to create, manage and deploy “blended learning” programmes, mixing classroom trainings and e-learning modules, 
- co-creation of management modules specific to Krauthammer.

Axciome C (France)

Consulting and training firm specialising in competence engineering, the evaluation of pedagogical practice and management. Daniel Feisthammel and Pierre Massot, co-managers of Axciome C, co-creators of the concept of the Scale of Practice Levels, helped us to create one of our evaluation tools, the 4LS evaluation, which is currently used to appraise the behavioural practices covered by our training modules (see the site 'Evaluation 4LS') www.axciomec.fr.

Krauthammer’s core competence is in ‘living performance’ – in other words, gaining business results through the attitude change of individuals, teams and organisations.
Our specialism is proving to be of increasing interest to academic institutions. We gladly set the ‘so what’ test for research-based concepts.

“We selected Krauthammer because the company was very convincing in both presentation and performance, and displayed a good fit with our organisation. Their consultant confidently mastered our three fields of strategy, process management and coaching, and could be trusted not to get into trouble with a group of such critical professors. In terms of the Krauthammer philosophy, I observe a distinction in consistency of approach, and in the depth and extent of elaboration of the Human Capital Development model. I appreciate the fact that their trainers are fully embedded in their organisation, as opposed to the freelance proposition one meets elsewhere. Furthermore I had a positive experience of Krauthammer from my time as City Manager of Arnhem, when I attended Krauthammer’s Leadership programme at Lauswolt. People at Arnhem are still talking about the programme Krauthammer ran there in 1999 – you made a big impression there!”
