Okuara app for iPhone and iPad

Why is Okuara important?

Today´s organizations complain mostly about lack of trust, low engagement, and poor communication. People´s attitude and behaviors are not consistent with the values the organization intends to live, if any. There is a lack of alignment and recognition. On the other hand, the prospect of going through yet another Motivational Program is usually not exciting as these programs have shown time and again to have a limited effect. What do you do to turn this around? You must rediscover what is most important to each person, the values that you hold true, and how these values are shared and actually expressed across the organization.

What is Okuara?
