"Integrate OD brings to your organization a strategic business orientation, and a practical and
effective capability to engage your teams in the aim towards achieving your firm's goals - with a strong
concern for each person's individual contribution, and a commitment to top results."
Barclays Bank
"The exercise on how different people think really opened my eyes about some
challenging work relationships. I found the techniques of how to build rapport
faster with new contacts or difficult stakeholders valuable. The course was
informative, helpful and relevant. It raises awareness of different personality
styles and increased my own self-awareness."
Jane Davison
Head of Resourcing
Vinge
“This was better than similar seminars. Katinka understood our business and the relationship with our clients
well. I found the group discussions valuable, which Katinka led as an excellent moderator.”
Mikael Ståhl
Partner
"The program contributed to an increased understanding of how different
personalities act and react in situations and on communications, which will
help in day to day work both among colleagues and clients. By being reminded
of what my personality carries in respect of leadership skills, in
particular the weaker sides, I am in a better position to improve them.
Attending the program resulted in valuable reflection on how and why you act
as you do in your professional role, and included some good input in respect
of Generation Y. I would recommend my colleagues to participate."
Daniel Rosvall

Fimat
"Fimat Americas Information Technology department underwent a drastic change of organization in 2007. As CIO I was
not only concerned by the change of structure, but I was also concerned by the impact on people. For example, we had to change most of the roles and job descriptions. To help us go through this difficult and sometimes traumatic period, I decided to
use Integrate OD to help with the human aspect. I was delighted with the support provided in terms of dedication,
theoretical frameworks and practical tools to support us in the change process. Using Integrate OD certainly helped
us make this change of organization a success."
Pascal Lauffer
CIO
"Katinka provided me with an accurate personality profile, followed up with personal assistance in how to communicate
with various personality styles, and provided counselling on the development of my weaker team profiles needed to improve
effectiveness in my workplace. Katinka also effectively acted as an independent counsellor in discussing and advising on
personal goals and growth opportunities."
Andre Odendaal
Head of CIA IT
Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton
"I do very much appreciate each of our coaching sessions, and the thoughtfulness and insights Katinka has brought to them."

"I was very impressed with the way Katinka translated her organizational effectiveness experience into commercial, relevant and practical solutions for us. She showed great judgment when interacting across all levels of the firm and was able to build solid relationships over a relatively short time frame. I very much look forward to working with Katinka again."
Peder Anderlind
Head of Investment Banking Training and Development
Martha Stewart Omnimedia
"Katinka was very thorough in her work with Martha Stewart Omnimedia, thinking things through from top to bottom. She has the unique ability to see the big picture without losing sight of important details. She thinks strategically and logically. She understands business needs and challenges and is able to articulate and devise programs to address the implications on people."
Maggie Mistal
Head of Training and Development
Kasina, Inc.
"In a company such as ours, always growing and changing, it can be difficult for a newcomer to assess with what approach to begin. In this regard, Katinka understands that a company is a vastly complex entity, but rather than find this daunting, she finds solutions that work on all levels: from bottom to top, from the individual to the corporation, from the practical to the theoretical. In constantly drawing connections between all of these elements, Ms. Nicou teaches companies to better understand the inter-relatedness of these elements and how to address all of them at once. Her approach worked wonders for us and we learned to follow her recommendations with enthusiasm. They always reaped such positive results. Ms. Nicou worked with us closely on improving and strengthening team processes: we saw a marked improvement in productivity and morale besides. Today, Kasina employees benefit by individual coaching by Ms. Nicou, and we are confident that we will enjoy tremendous results yet again."
Steven Miyao
CEO, Kasina
Figure9 Technologies
"As Co-Founder and Director of Business Development of Figure9 Technologies, I hired Ms. Nicou as a Consultant to strengthen our overall business development efforts.
Ms. Nicou helped us define our visions and goals, generate ideas for marketing, improve our public speaking abilities, and streamline our business plan. She developed a remarkable understanding of our software business, including the technical working of the software platform, our implementation goals, how and why we would target our customer base, and the software market in general. This understanding enabled her to "translate" much of the technical aspects of our business into a language that anyone could understand. Our business plan as well as marketing materials underwent substantial changes that allowed our investors and clients to have a clearer understanding of our vision and products.
Ms. Nicou challenged our established methods, initiated changes and new ideas, and offered her honest feedback. She is a tenacious, driven, conscientious, and innovative professional who strives for excellence. She is steadfast in her intelligence and level-headedness, and is unafraid to meet challenges."
