Why I want to add Human touch
to Change and Innovation

Are you and your organization feeling trapped, stuck, and uncertain about how to break free from the inertia that hinders transformation and innovation? If so, you’re not alone. Many teams find themselves in this predicament, struggling to contribute effectively to their organization’s goals for change. My journey with ‘Method in Madness’ began from a place of personal struggle. I, too, once felt perpetually stuck, unsure of how to move forward. It wasn’t until a coach pointed out that this dilemma was shared by countless others, hindering their ability to drive transformation within their teams.

The problem I aim to solve is clear: Organizations and their teams often grapple with the complexities of change, be it implementing new ways of working, adapting to a new organizational culture, strategizing for the future, or improving internal relationships. These challenges are often met with resistance and uncertainty, leaving teams feeling trapped in a cycle of inertia. But I’ve discovered a way forward. I realized that my unique abilities could be harnessed to facilitate change within teams and organizations. ‘Method in Madness’ was born from this revelation, and today, it stands as a solution to help organizations and their teams break free from the shackles of stagnation and embrace transformation and innovation. Through deep problem analysis, custom workshops, and consultancy, I enable teams and businesses to recognize their roles in the greater transformation goals of their respective organizations.

My expertise lies in overcoming resistance, understanding transformational personalities, and orchestrating seamless change. So, if you’re searching for a way to transform your team’s mindset, add a human touch to your change and innovation projects, and cultivate a culture of transformation, I’m here to help you navigate this journey.”

RECOMMENDATIONS

Sabyasachi, the author of “What’s Your Plan B”, distances himself from the self-help herd by establishing his book not as an universal recipe, but rather as a companion for everyday actions and decisions. He has no ambition to lecture you on what makes a good professional as much as provide you with real-life examples of how others, including the author himself, have navigated adversity and anxiety without losing sight of their individual targets, whatever those may be. Though I believe the author hadn’t planned his book to take on a Covid-19 theme, one can’t help but see in his hands-on approach important lessons to struggle through a pandemic that has put on hold so many of our plans. Most of us could use a bit more resilience – and a Plan B – so we don’t lose focus on what gives meaning to our lives.”

Pedro Miguel SilvaAssociate Partner, Deloitte

“This book is a very useful guide of how to not only survive but thrive when adversity strikes. The examples make the reading vivid and the notions really comprehensible, while the tips make the guidance really applicable.

My key takeaway: All we need is to not be taken by surprise. That means to look intentionally for the red flags of individual adversity and be ready like scouts for universal black swans.”

Anastasia SideriDirector of Communication, Coca Cola Company

Liz HectorOrganiser PMI chapter Netherlands

Saby gave a 3-day training to my company over Sales Pitch. Everyone was impressed on the way he managed to make an impact, we caught ourselves “correcting” each other based on the comments Saby made during the training from the very first day. He managed to provide a high level training using intelligent stories taken from daily activities and keep our attention the whole time. During the training, everyone had the opportunity to practice and realize what the strong points are and what needs to be improved and most important how to improve. Saby is a talented speaker who love what he does and we are grateful we took the opportunity to leverage from him “
