SMARTIA · HUMAN PERFORMANCE INTELLIGENCE
Turn human intelligence into organizational performance.
You may already have the right people. The question is whether your organization enables them to perform as one system.
Diagnose the performance gap. Change the operating pattern. Measure what changed.

When does SMARTIA make sense?
When capable people are producing less than their combined potential.
Teams or functions struggle to work across boundaries.
The same conflicts and execution problems keep returning.
You have expertise — but it is not translating into performance.
You are entering growth, transformation, restructuring or integration.
Choose your starting point
SCAN = find the performance gap.
SHIFT = change what is causing it.

SMARTIA SCAN
Find where performance is getting lost.
SCAN identifies the organizational patterns, norms and relationships that prevent capable people from converting their intelligence into coordinated performance.
3–5 weeks
typical engagement
01 · DATA
See the system
Review relevant organizational data, performance signals and operating context.
02 · INSIGHT
Find the root cause
Targeted interviews reveal patterns, norms, relationships and decision dynamics.
03 · DECISION
Know what to do next
Executive diagnosis, priorities and a focused 90-day direction.
You leave with:
a clear executive view of
where performance is being lost, why it is happening,
and what deserves leadership attention first.
SMARTIA SHIFT
Turn insight into operating change.
SHIFT targets the specific organizational patterns that are limiting execution, collaboration and performance — then measures what changed.
8–12 weeks
typical engagement
01 · FOCUS
Target the leverage points
Identify the operating, leadership or collaboration patterns with the greatest performance impact.
02 · CHANGE
Change the pattern
Apply targeted interventions built around the organization's actual operating reality.
03 · MEASURE
Verify what changed
Reassess agreed indicators and operating behavior to determine what improved and what comes next.
You leave with:
more than a report.
The objective is observable change in how the
organization works — and evidence of what changed.

Get more performance from the human intelligence you already have.
The issue is not only who is in the organization. It is how effectively their intelligence works together.
Executive FAQ
Short answers to the questions leaders usually need before deciding whether SMARTIA is the right next step.
I. Getting started
Yes. The initial online or in-person conversation is complimentary. Its purpose is to clarify the business situation, the performance issue and whether SMARTIA is the right fit.
If you know performance is being lost but do not yet know the root cause, start with SCAN. If the problem and direction are already clear and execution is the priority, start with SHIFT.
SMARTIA SCAN typically takes 3–5 weeks. SMARTIA SHIFT typically runs 8–12 weeks. Scope depends on organizational size, the unit involved and the business issue.
II. Scope
SMARTIA is primarily designed for organizations with 10 or more employees. The scope can include a defined organizational cross-section, a business unit, a team or a leader in organizational context.
No. The focus can be a business unit, project team, leadership group, cross-functional interface or one specific performance problem.
Yes — but not as an isolated personality assessment. The executive is examined in the context of the organizational system: relationships, norms, decisions and operating patterns.
III. Approach
No. SMARTIA does not begin with a predefined training curriculum. It begins with your organization's data, operating reality, relationships, cultural patterns and norms. The intervention follows the evidence.
Only when they serve a diagnostic or change objective. Artistic methods can make hidden cultural patterns, shared meanings and relationship dynamics easier to observe. They are tools — not the product.
Neutral Space Method© is part of the SMARTIA methodological toolkit. It creates a context in which habitual roles and organizational routines can be temporarily loosened, allowing different patterns to become visible.
The methodological description has been registered in Hungary's voluntary registry of intellectual works since 2021.
IV. Data & measurement
Depending on the engagement, the analysis may combine organizational data, survey information, qualitative interviews, operating observations and other relevant internal evidence.
Yes. Measurement is built into SMARTIA SHIFT. We reassess the targeted operating areas to determine what changed and what that change means for the organization.
V. Who is behind SMARTIA?
SMARTIA is built on the multidisciplinary research and applied methodology of Dr. Mária Keresztes.
Its scientific foundation includes economics, social psychology, anthropology and the humanities. Its applied toolkit includes data analysis, qualitative research, cultural pattern analysis, artistic methods and Neutral Space Method©.
VI. Next step
Start with a short executive conversation. We clarify the business issue, desired outcome and whether SCAN, SHIFT or another approach is the right next step.
