About Us
Refine & Hone
A brief story
We created this business to focus on people as the fundamental source of value and the single most valuable resource. In the everyday hustle of “business as usual”, this key element is most often overlooked. Especially in organisation change, the people component is often missed, even though people are the enabler of change and the most heavily impacted.
We saw that these evolving areas presented two main challenges; An growing lack of experience and expertise in the labour force, and a reactive, resistant approach to dealing with change. To us, the solution was clear. Focus on developing talent both at an individual and organisational level and embrace change as an opportunity for growth and success.
Thus, in 2016, Refine & Hone was created to focus on these areas, to help individuals rise to their true potential and enable organisations to embrace change as a critical and highly beneficial part of business.
