Superpowers For business leaders

mastering change and innovation
through customized disruption

only business transformation which is made part of the company’s dna will succeed

… and dos Santos empowers business leaders to master the core proficiencies of successful change and business transformation.

Customized disruption

Successful business transformation is defined by three qualities. First, it extracts critical business drivers from the very beginning. Second, it builds a certain immediacy that allows for rapid progress and fast movement. Third, it ensures that the new, required expertise is immediately built into the company’s DNA. Yet, there is no single solution you can easily follow or copy from others. You have to develop your individual system based on your specific needs, challenges, and goals project by project. You need to design the process details and tools and decide on which internal and external expertise needs to be involved. We call this customized disruption.

We help business executives master these qualities and implement a proven successful transformation system for the creation and development of solutions in their own company.

“… I specifically chose and dos Santos for a rather strategic meta–question „How to gain cultural relevance with my brand“ … we were lacking a clear mission and POV as a brand. I think the most unique part of adS is their setup – the very lean core-team but a highly-competent huge collective of creators that allows to put various perspectives on a meta-question in order to really think outside the box and push the boundaries. Apart from that I felt that the process is very collaborative (workshop-style) and for me the biggest contribution of adS was to push me to think, rethink and reflect about my brand. Concrete results were a clear brand mission … In addition the project initiated several sub-projects to make the brand mission come to life and improve brand experience … General management was impressed by the presentation, especially the strategic framework …”
