We are passionately committed to unlocking the potential in leaders, teams and organizations. That's why we chose our name, Ember. To us it means energy, warmth and potential. Each individual, every leader, and each team holds this within them, and we aim to breathe life into it. We strive to create meaningful results without compromising health and relationships. With this foundation, we aspire to be a trusted independent partner for businesses large and small in Rogaland, Norway, and Scandinavia.
What truly sets us apart is the GiANT toolkit and the web-based platform GiANT OS. Here, the learning is made accessible to the entire organization – not just the top leaders. This creates a shared language and culture that scales to the entire company.
Our tools aren't just theoretical – they are practical and easy to understand. Employees at all levels can start using them immediately, empowering their daily work. We believe in the power of insight, which is why we offer lenses that help us see people and challenges in new ways. It's this kind of insight that sparks enthusiasm and motivation for change.
