We are the first and most experienced partner for Dr Edward De Bono in the UK and EMEA. Click here to hear Dr de Bono speaking about The Holst Group. We have pioneered the use of Dr Edward de Bono’s work in the UK and count him as one of our old friends. When Dr de Bono is in the UK we are his partner of choice to assist him at conferences.

Stuart Scott is only 1 of 15 de Bono Master Trainers in the world and works exclusively for The Holst group. We are known as the “Trainers Trainer”, as The Holst Group, and Stuart have trained and certified more de Bono trainers than anyone else in the UK. We are very proud of that.

We have worked in a huge variety of vertical and horizontal sectors, including Not for Profit, and Government, so we will understand your business.

Whatever the size of your organisation, or sector, we have the resources and expertise. Indeed, we are the sole provider of the de Bono “New Deal” initiative on behalf of the Government. This programme works with people who are long term unemployed.

We teach these individuals a number of de Bono techniques to help them get back in to work. As a result employment rose by 500% and one year later 96% were still employed. It is by far the most successful programme of its type.

Steven Covey (Seven Habits of Highly Effective People) says “Business today is like white water rafting”. Business is constantly changing and evolving at an ever increasing pace. How can you keep up with all this change and opportunity?

To get and maintain a competitive advantage you need to excel at both innovation and communication. You need to have cutting edge tools for the mind, which are standard ways to communicate across your entire organisation.

Too often, focus is lost because there are no organised or systemised ways within organisations to allow innovation and communication to flourish.

"Innovation simply isn’t as unpredictable as many people think."
