Research
Apart from our values, Guldkantenâs work is characterized by 2 other priciples. Namely, our science-based and data-driven approaches to coaching and consulting.
On one hand this means that we use scientific research to inform our advice and coaching methods. On the other hand, it means that we are continuously involved in research projects. Read more about the latter below.
Research Projects

The Post-Pandemic Recovery Roadmap
The Post-Pandemic Recovery Roadmap is Guldkantenâs independent research project. Through it we explore the challenges that companies face as they work on recovering from the pandemic.
The aim of the research is to identify the barries and facilitators of post-pandemic organizational recovery. We mainly focus on internal processes and problems which can be addressed with minimum investment, by leveraging existing resources.
For example, we look at:
How communication (interpersonal information flow) can be improved and optimized to assist recovery
The effect of leadership on recovery
The role of the organizational culture in recovery
How individual factors such as personality and motivation can be accounted for and leveraged to assist recovery
How do the challenges that companies face differ across countries?
