Corporate Consulting

The most dangerous beliefs are the ones you no longer realize you hold.

The Examined Business

Philosopher Samuel Loncar has created the Examined Business™ method from years of institution building and consulting.

The most valuable asset for any company is the ability to question what feels obvious, assumed, or true. This is the most difficult philsophical power to cultivate, and it yeilds the most extraordinary results.

In the Examined Business™ method, Dr. Loncar uses ancient techniques practiced by philosophers like Pythagoras, Socrates, and Iamblicus to help leaders and teams break free from false perceptions and increase their potential and profit.

Examined Business™ consulting is for companies who are ready to shed illusions and have their
self-conception challeged.

In session, be prepared to:

֍ interrogate beliefs

֍ test assumptions

֍ reveal ignorance

֍ transform your vision

Key differentiators:

  • Disclosure: The work begins by learning to articulate how and where expertise is lacking or falls short. Leaders and teams must admit what they do not know. Most consulting skips this step. This method does not.

  • Elenchus: The session focuses on cross-examining unconscious beliefs and long held assumptions until they are discarded or prove worthy of a rigourously ethical vision that priortizes oganizational growth and flexibility.

  • Maieutics: Questions are desinged to help leaders and teams give birth to insights that generate a powerful, living energy for the organization to harness and scale.

  • Revelation: Productive confusion yields decisive, defensible action that is rational and ethical. Insights are integrated and the conclusions reveal the true character of individuals and teams. The most powerful companies accept what is the case rather than what they wish to be the case. As a result they can pivot, profit, and lead in uncertain times.

The intensity of the work is desinged for individuals and teams who are ready for radical transformation fueled by a commitment to discovering the truth about their work.

Companies who are prepared to priorotize the human and submit to the highest ethical standards that inspire real innovation and leadership are ideal for Examined Business Consulting.
