TRANSFORMING COMPANIES INTO COMMUNITIES - Our purpose is to create new structures and processes in organisation that are based on a more accurate reading on the reality of man. We do not view a human being as homo economicus, who is driven by material gain alone. Instead, we recognise the power of the human spirit to love, learn, cooperate and serve.
