How does Senseia do things differently?

Our work deliberately avoids pointing the finger at “inappropriate” attitudes and behaviour or calling out “culprits” who may be barriers to change. In the Senseia process participants feel safe and empowered because our focus is on understanding the normal human emotions and dynamics at play which many of us share and which – usually unintentionally – create those barriers. All the data and stories, true and false, gathered create a detailed, nuanced picture of our client’s culture.

Equity and equality are values that sit at the heart of what we do and many of our projects are explicitly geared to tackling diversity issues – or, more accurately, the lack of inclusion. We know that the world of equality and diversity, when filtered through a traditional lens, can be fraught with danger, fear, misunderstandings, cultural insensitivities, resentment, resignations, dismissals, tribunals and complaints. We avoid playing these games with people’s lives. Our emphasis is on deconstructing the emotional phenomena that get in the way of team cohesion. We dial down the fear and dial up a sense of curiosity in our shared humanity.
