About us

Our mission

At Dowlais Consulting, our mission is to help teams work together better. We harness the lessons from organizational psychology to professionally align groups of people at work, helping them to become cohesive and high-performing teams.

Alignment and Environment

Our Philosophy

Our approach is built on the core concept of ‘Alignment and Environment’. This principle emphasizes the importance of both synchronizing team goals and creating a positive working atmosphere. We understand that the success of any endeavor is defined by how in-sync team members are (Alignment) and the quality of their interactions (Environment).

Our Approach

We believe that implicit expectations and unsaid norms can no longer be relied upon, especially in today’s dynamic work environment. Our approach involves explicit agreements on what work is done, how it is done, and the manner in which team members interact. This is crucial in a world increasingly characterized by remote working and diverse team compositions.

Key Elements of Our Approach

  • Psychological Safety: Creating an environment where team members feel safe to express their ideas and concerns.
  • Persuasion and Influence: Utilizing principles from psychology to improve communication and decision-making within teams.
  • Diverse Sources: Incorporating insights from various fields such as military theory and ancient Greek rhetoric to enrich our workshops.
