Literature
Since we started our first coansulting project - nearly 10 years ago - we have accumulated a wealth of valuable experiential and factual knowledge that is of benefit to our existing and prospective client base.
In addition, we have also leveraged our existing academic research work. Below you can find a list of academic literature that we apply to develop our coansulting concepts, as well as, working papers about our coansulting approach and past projects.
