BTFA has been experienced by investors, boards, executive teams, global change teams, senior / middle managers, supervisors & team leaders in a wide range of organisations ... this is what they say...
Failing to effectively improve Change, Leadership and Culture is a global problem!
Orchestrating change within a corporate setting or smaller company, can be an exceptionally demanding and highly stressful endeavour, a fact substantiated by the discouraging failure rates in Lean, ERP, Strategy, and Culture transformation initiatives.
"I’m the same as everyone else, I get worked up if I’m sitting in traffic, or if we’re under production pressures … and I started to realise why as BTFA helped me reflect. Following what I learned, I've tried to pass this on to my team and changed my own approach! As an example, we’d tried to introduce 5S before (6S in our company), and it had met a lot of resistance. But I knew demonstrating ‘order’ was important, even more so when I realised, through BTFA, how it created impressions in other minds and how those impressions result in assumptions and behaviours.
But this wasn’t a belief that was shared amongst the team. I also came to realise through BTFA, that achieving better engagement with my team, required I stopped seeing them as resources … as a result, I’ve been able to relate to them more and find better ways to communicate purpose.
I used a hospital we all know as an example. The sign on the road has letters missing and is overgrown with weeds. I asked them, who would want to be treated at that hospital. They all said they wouldn’t. I asked them, Why? They replied, “If they can’t look after the road sign, they probably can’t control an operating theatre” … that’s when they realised the importance of 6S and we’ve had a tidy environment, getting better every week, for the last 2 months."

Case studies
DUX Example 2. Eurofilter (2009/10), Mansfield (UK). Applied our model to deal with 'a culture issue'. SLT aligned over a new approach to strategy deployment. Reported 64% EBITDA improvement in-year. (Taking them out of a 5 year loss making cycle into profit ... mid-recession!). Acquired by FRAM Industrial 5-years later.
|
'High Engagement' is proven to be root cause of a high performance culture, where more ideas are forthcoming, discretionary efforts rise, problems get solved faster, collaboration improves along with alignment, attrition rates improve (talent is retained / M&A is successful), strategic intent is executed more effectively.... and 'Change' STICKS!

BTFA - "Human-Centric Development"
The Enabler, The Differentiator ... for Leaders in Manufacturing Organisations, Consulting Firms & Beyond
"We help leaders focus on the science of change, to improve transformation!"
PDCA
A popular model used throughout the industrial world often alongside problem solving & project management methods, like DMAIC, 8D, A3, ITIL, Prince2, Toyota Kata, Agile, waterfall, cascade, PMO's and more. |
BTFA
A new model, enabling leaders to see and understand the neuroscience behind performance, profit and the mechanics of a high performance culture. Where others focus on process and systems, BTFA is designed to deliver 'Human Development' |
How it works
STEP 1 - BELIEVEThe first step ensures the student identifies with the issues that underpin the 'human' challenge of change, in the modern workplace.
You might think "what does brain function have to do with organisational change?" However, if you now realise, what you just said to yourself, happened inside your head, and it was in response to a new idea being presented ... your brain might have already made a new connection, which will change your thinking! |
STEP 2 - THINKNext, we explore the mechanics of 'thinking' and establish a common understanding of the science, leaving you with some powerful practices to apply in everyday life.
So what? When we 'problem solve', we often establish the 'cause-effect' relationship between events. If we're to understand and improve the human capacity for change, in a changing environment, we must understand the cause and effect between brain and behaviour. In this module, you will learn how to improve your own brain function, when your automatic responses fail to best serve your stated outcome objectives (in your personal and professional life). |
STEP 3 - FEELIn the third step of your journey, you find out that, as far as brain function is concerned, there is no such thing as 'a logical decision'!
You might be offended by that, protesting your capacity for logic and rationale ... however, if you unpack that sentence, you'll quickly notice, your logical protest was preceded by your indignation (an emotional response). Coming to understand the science that makes thinking and feeling inseparable is like getting a new lens to look at life and understand ourselves, others, and the process of change in our places of work. |
STEP 4 - ACTThis is where the rubber hits the road!
In business, we're concerned with the actions people take, most often, to improve systems and process, in pursuit of productivity, performance and profit, (via projects and initiatives). You may say, that's what governance is for, or this is why we have control mechanisms, a PMO, policies and procedure ... people will comply! By this point in the BTFA journey, you are already reflecting on your own brain function, it's outputs and how this provides the input to the next brain. It's here, we explore 'Relationship' between human brains: how we have to act toward each other and why (neurologically speaking) if we're to help people and teams become the best they can be, to deliver the best possible results, for wealth, health and happiness. |
STEP 5 - APPLY
In the last step of this enlightening journey, we help you explore how to apply BTFA to every aspect of your life at work and beyond. We provide you an application framework, giving you a structure you and your colleagues will want to introduce into reviews, planning sessions and general meetings, to make sure you 'Find the Balance' between the people side of change and the physical changes they must execute. It is by applying BTFA, that relationships improve, to shift the capacity for collaboration, problem solving and continuous improvement, throughout your organisation.
The Dux Model |
The Dux Model, culminates in an ability to effectively DEPLOY your business strategy, in a performance enhancing culture, where people are comfortable with change, are supported to automatically take responsibility, (before blaming others as part of their natural defences) and are able to remain flexible, while disciplined, to adjust to changing market forces and circumstances.
To achieve that higher state of performance, leaders must be deeply aligned over purpose.
|
- 'ADAPT' details how to create the conditions that allow people to feel part of something good, and 'want' to make progress together!
- 'SURVIVE' provides leaders at all levels, the clear instruction required, to remove those triggers from the environment, that demand the brain 'puts up barriers to change'.
- BTFA establishes a common language, which ensures leaders learn what it takes to reduce stress in the human brain, so people can 'Engage'.
This becomes of particular interest and importance, to those investors and boards, who recognise the findings from Gallup's 'State of the Global Workplace' Study. In this seminal study, post COVID, it is established that falling profits and rising costs are directly attributed to the leadership style that has led to a 79% average disengagement level around the planet.
Beyond Emotional Intelligence. Beyond Human Capital.

What our customers say - 6-9 months after BTFA
"It becomes obvious, through the course, that if people appear to be obstructive, that’s not what is going on, but rather, their behaviours are a reflection of their beliefs, and our interpretation of their behaviours are a reflection of our beliefs. It’s transformed the way I look at things. It’s a whole life experience … it goes way beyond relationships at work, it really had a positive impact for me at home too. I can admit now, I was quite judgemental, and because of BTFA that has reduced."
"Applying BTFA to my approach, I’ve been able to break down barriers, by making sure I’m establishing a common purpose, because I now know why that’s important for brains and how they react. But as others say, it’s not just about work, it’s been of great personal benefit too. As a result of thinking about BTFA, I’m now more open to different opinions, because I’ve become curious to understand why someone might hold an alternative view."

Duxinaroe ... the brains behind the brand?
David and Levent are qualified engineers. While leading international operations / change and transformation initiatives, they studied philosophy, psychology and neuroscience, before stepping out of corporate life to consult, both independently and within professional services. This mix of experience and study, provided both gentlemen a deep understanding of the human component, as it affects 'change' and organisational performance improvement.
Meeting for the first time in August 2019, they quickly recognised a deep alignment, established by their experience and education. They soon combined their efforts to bring BTFA and the Dux Model to market, in a consistent and scaleable format.
The objective? To ensure 'lessons learned', through experience as senior leaders, running and transforming both large and small organisations, could be effectively and efficiently shared with other leaders, across the planet, who were experiencing, and struggling with the challenges they had personally encountered since they started their careers in the 1980's.
