The values of the group in the field of energy.
gtn-energie.deGTN Groupgraf trust network
Trust is earned.
The GTN Group is a network of companies that give people clarity and relief in complex decisions. What connects them is not a market or an industry, but four values.
Foundation
Four values. One cycle.
Truth
We take reality more seriously than our story about it. Figures, contracts and conditions are shown before they are interpreted.
Awareness
We see things in context, including our own assumptions. Nothing stands on its own.
Wisdom
We decide appropriately, not maximally. The fitting solution, not the biggest or the fastest.
Appreciation
We recognise worth before we calculate benefit. With everyone we work with, including competitors.
What grows from this is trust. That is the T in GTN – for trust.
The companies
Every company has its colour. The group has none.
Every company in the group is an attempt to realise the four values in one field. It carries its own words and its own colour. The group carries no colour, because it carries them all. It is not a company but what its companies have in common: shared values and a shared intention.
The values of the group in the field of finance and protection.
gtn-finanz.deWhat comes next
A new field, once the first two are established. Depth first, then breadth. It gets the next direction on the colour wheel.
Before every decision
Four questions.
- Is it appropriate?Measure
- Is it possible?Feasibility
- Is it dignified?Dignity
- Are we all involved?Participation
Impossible or undignified means no, even if it would pay. Inappropriate means rebuild, not discard. Not involved means: involve first, then act.
How we work
Five rules you can check.
Reality first.
Establish before interpreting, show before telling. In black and white.
See the connection.
No detail without context, no decision without regard to the consequences.
Appropriate, not maximal.
Measure is the criterion, not size. For solutions, language and design.
Recognise worth.
Including that of partners, competitors and critics.
Stay correctable.
Mistakes are named, versions dated, changes made visible. That is why this page carries a date.
