Holistic philosophy
Ramboll is a truly people-based organisation. We believe that the key to our success lies with the motivation, skills and commitment of our employees. We also believe that our value chain goes through thriving and loyal employees and customers, through responsibility and care for the society we are part of, to profitable and sustainable development for our company. This business logic forms the basis of the holistic philosophy of our company.
Since 1991, we have formally implemented the holistic concept in our business and termed it "Ramboll Holistic Enterprise Model". Our Model was developed alongside the Excellence Model used by the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM), both models with mutual inspiration from each other. In this way, we have a framework which perfectly reflects the holistic philosophy, and serves as a guideline for leadership, development, operation and reporting within Ramboll.
Holistic leadership
The strategies in our business units are structured according to the nine key criteria of the Holistic Company Model to secure a consistent focus and a holistic approach throughout the entire organisation.
Holistic leadership implies that all colleagues will be involved in the discussion and preparation of strategies and business plans to ensure understanding, commitment and achievement of common goals.
Holistic leadership is founded on a principle of continuous learning, based on facts. The process involves the setting up of goals; measuring actions and results to determine gaps and areas for improvement; implementing solutions; setting up new goals; etc.
Holistic reporting
Ramboll published its first Holistic Accounts in 1995 to give stakeholders a view in its entirety of the company's many intangible results and values. Since then, the holistic reporting has been a permanent supplement to the financial reporting.
