How We Do It |
| The underlying approach and
techniques used in the training and consultancy are based on the principles
of Eastern Philosophies. ‘Ki’ is a fundamental concept
of traditional Chinese culture. Ki is believed to be part of everything
that exists, as in “life force” or “spiritual energy,” It
is most often translated as “energy flow,” or literally
as “air” or “breath”. Also, the Japanese language
contains over 11,442 known usages of 'ki' as a compound. As a compound,
it may represent syllables associated with the mind, the heart, feeling,
the atmosphere, and flavor. The spiritual concept analogous to Chinese
Ki appears mainly in the martial arts, such as Aikido. The term ‘Kirin’,
or even ‘Kiran’, is derived from the Sanskrit traditions,
meaning ray of light or energy from the sun. |
| The principles of Aikido are also incorporated in our training programmes, with the assumption
that the mind leads the body and that, if we want to move the body
of the partner, we have first to move their mind. In organisational
terms, this relates to a shift in the mindset of the people or culture
working in the organisation, without changing what the organisation
does to deliver its objectives. |
| At the heart of Ki-Rin’s
delivery is the fundamental notion of energising organisations from
the core, without necessarily changing the organisation’s strategic
objectives and key values. |
| Our delivery and methods
for engagement fall into three key areas: Training,
Consultancy, and
Coaching. Our training programmes in Conflict Management and Team Building
for the Charity Sector are delivered in partnership with Caddy
Consulting. |
