If we look back at the long past 1994 today, it would be difficult to find a rational reason which initiated Nebojsa Caric, Zvezdan Horvat and Boris Vukic establish a branch office of Adizes Institute for Southeast Europe. In those years it was an unstable part of Europe especially the state which used to be called Yugoslavia and whose unfortunate and awful disintegration was slowly coming to its end. Dr Adizes admitted that he had also been personally led by emotional reasons when he decided to give permission to open a new branch in the region he was born and spent his childhood days in. After a difficult period of Infancy interrupted by NATO bombing campaign, the assassination of the Prime Minister . . . it was not until the last several years that the possibilities have opened for the serious improvements.

Today, Adizes SEE is a recognizable brand in Southeast Europe in the field of consultancy services, education and training for management. Our success is based on three crucial factors – world recognised and successful methodology, twelve years of experience in the application of Organizational Therapy and several decades of management experience of our consultants and lecturers.

We are organised in three centers: Center for Organizational Therapy, Center for Education and Training and Center for Publishing.

In organizational therapy our clients are primarily the companies which are trying to cope with the problems typical of the transition from enterpreneurship to the professional management. Or, in Adizes' words, every company that is somewhere between Go-go, Adolescence and Founder Trap stage. Our work with them includes from Syndag (interestingly, we are going to have a small jubilee soon – our 100 diagnoses), through creation of vision and mission, organizational structure up to the Reward Systems.

It is interesting how the list of seminars, trainings and workshops we offer have evolved through time. At the very beginning we offered Mastering Change - Conceptual Foundations of the Adizes Methodology, with the idea to introduce our perspective of the world of organization to our clients and to develop the need for organizational therapy with them. Working with the clients, learning and recruiting new people, we increased and expanded the knowledge within Adizes SEE. Thanks to that our lecturers, today are receiving the highest marks not only for the training in the field of management but also for the Project Management, Marketing, Sales, Knowledge Management,... In total we have developed about twenty different trainings and seminars.

In order to fill the void in the understanding of the managerial practice in our region we have also started the publishing activity. The framework of our publishing plan consists of the works of the most famous authors in the field of mangement and marketing. In the first place these are the books of dr Adizes: How to Solve the Mismangement Crisis, Corporate Lifecycle, Mastering Change, Management for the Arts, Pursuit of Prime, Managing Corporate Lifecycles, Management/Mismanagement Styles. In addition, our publishing corpus includes works of Peter Drucker, Philip Kotler, Abraham Maslow, Jack Welch, Michael Porter, Peter Senge, . . .

From the very beginning, beside operational jobs, the same amount of attention we have dedicated to the research, development and improvement of our services. Among our numerous contributions to the development of management methodology we would like to point out several most significant ones.
At the first contact with Adizes Institute in 1994 we presented our questionnaire for identification of PAEI style. That initial questionnaire has been improved ever since and today it is a part of an original system and software for the selection of candidates. This rounded system covers everything that is necessery for Candidate Selection, from the interviewing to the questionnaires based on PAEI, Spiral Dynamics and Brain Dominance approaches.
Under the leadership of the Senior Associate Nebojše Carić, our team has developed an original approach to the creation of business strategies which should be included in the Phase IX in Organizational Transformations Program.
Besides, we have developed a series of tools which facilitate and accelarate the application and teaching of certain phases of Adizes Program, such as:

• Adizes Program CD ROM (multimedia presentation developed in 1997),
• Capi questionnaire for identification of the level of preconditions for decision implementation,
• Life Cycle questionnaire based on identification of the level of flexibility and controlability in main subsystems,
• Software for the support of phases I, II and III – management of the database of PIP's and  patterns, monitoring of the work of Synerteams, distribution of tasks by POC etc.,
• Software for modelling Phase VI for small and middle enterprises,
• Software for determination of strategic position of the company based on the modified SPACE analyses, etc.
