Impact curve — Smartia vs. traditional training
Smartia's impact builds fast — and lasts long-term.
Why does one person seeing it all matter?
| Questions | The traditional way | SMARTIA |
|---|---|---|
| Who works for you? | Trainer + consultant + analyst — separately, handing over to each other | One researcher who measures, analyses and develops |
| What is it built on? | Template curricula, generic good advice | Your company's own data: turnover, absence, participation, conflicts |
| What happens to the information? | It fragments at every handover — everyone sees only their slice | It stays in one hand: measure → analyse → intervene → re-measure |
| What is the result? | A report that stays in a drawer | Study-level analysis + a working, implemented solution |
| How long does the impact last? | It fades within weeks | It lasts long-term — measured and verified |

FAQ
The most common questions about the Smartia method, from an HR and management perspective.
The process has three stages: Discovery (diagnosis), Interactive experience (artistic toolkit and joint thinking) and Lasting change (measurable actions). The method works at the intersection of economics, psychology and group dynamics.
Yes. The first (online or in-person) consultation is free of charge, so we can precisely map the organizational needs, focus areas and success criteria before starting the process.
The method works best with groups of 8–20. It is worth involving a mix of HR, management, key people and creative contributors — diversity strengthens system-level learning.
No. Group composition always follows the situation, focus and goal. For a communication issue, several departments may work together; for team-building or recruitment, even strangers, to build the foundations of trust and collaboration.
HR selects the groups, organizes and embeds. Management provides resources, sets an example by participating, and consistently follows up on implementation so that the impact lasts.
Smartia provides the creative and technical tools, procurement, on-site delivery and preparation — so the organization has minimal administrative burden.
Yes. Collective experiences and shared meaning-making create new operating patterns. The change is not a "template model applied from outside," but an emergent solution that fits the organization.
Yes. A career change or leaving the profession is a particularly sensitive period. The Smartia method supports psychological safety, smooth knowledge transfer and maintaining motivation through the change.
Basic questionnaire-based measurement + where needed, predictive analytics, long-term impact assessment and detailed professional reports. HR and leadership receive objective feedback on the change.
Yes. Processing corporate data, qualitative and quantitative analysis, and predictive modelling to forecast human reactions and trends — combined with questionnaire-based tests.
Smartia's own concept: a fusion of HR and engineering. Built on scientific-technological foundations and supported by mentoring and predictive analytics, it reduces workforce turnover. Its four pillars: a new harmony of people and technology, relieving HR of routine work through automation, managing cultural challenges in the age of international workforce mobility, and art as a carrier of norms — reviving shared values in a neutral yet effective space.
Yes. It is also available as executive coaching, for leaders and people in key positions. Psychological safety, self-reflection, decision preparation.
Yes. Interactive talks and workshop segments at conferences and professional events, for a wider understanding of the methodology and for engagement.
Yes. Trial process: the first 4×45-minute session (with 20-minute breaks) at 50% off for new clients. To apply: maria@smartia.hu.
The detailed business model and price list can be downloaded using the button under "How the workshop works" (PDF). It contains the methodology, programme versions and pricing structure.
The Smartia methodology is based on the multi-year research and doctoral work of Dr. Mária Keresztes. Every programme is led personally by her, supported by a research and professional network — making the approach personal, scientific and scalable at the same time.
