METHODOLOGY

At Thryve, we believe leadership and strategy are not just plans — they are practices. Rooted in both experience and intention, our methodology equips individuals and organisations to lead with clarity, act with courage, and build cultures that thrive in complexity.

Whether you’re joining a leadership course in Aarhus, hosting a design sprint in Tokyo, or rethinking strategy in Berlin, our approach adapts to your needs while holding to three essential dimensions: head, hand, and heart.

What Is the Thryve Methodology?

Our methodology blends:

• Head — We help you make sense of complexity. With models, frameworks, and systems thinking, we bring clarity to uncertainty and direction to ambiguity.

• Hand — We work through action. Our facilitation style is experiential and practical. We simulate, build, iterate, and prototype together.

• Heart — We connect to purpose. We make space for values, trust, identity, and emotional intelligence. Because leadership is always human.

This methodology is embedded in everything we do — from 3-day leadership intensives to long-term organisational change processes.

Where It Comes From

The Thryve approach is shaped by:

• The adaptive leadership principles from Harvard Kennedy School

• The Kaospilot school of experiential education and creative leadership

• Practices from design thinking, systemic team coaching, and future foresight

• Years of experience working with organisations across Denmark, Europe, and Japan

This foundation allows us to support leaders, teams, and changemakers in building learning cultures that are collaborative, flexible, and forward-facing.

What Makes It Work

Most leadership development and strategy consulting fails because it stays too abstract or too rigid. Our methodology works because it:

• Builds strategic capacity that grows over time

• Supports people to act — not just understand

• Connects ideas to emotion, values, and culture

• Embeds learning into the system, not outside of it

The result? People take ownership. Strategies land. Culture shifts. And leadership becomes a shared, practiced reality.

We Use It Across All Our Work

You’ll find the Thryve methodology in:

• Leadership Courses — Adaptive Leadership, Feminist Leadership, and Systemic Leadership

• Consulting and Facilitation — including our signature Thryving Strategy process and design sprints

• Organisational Development — from culture work to future readiness labs
