What Taradin does, in simple terms.
A factual overview of Taradin — for anyone who wants a quick and clear understanding of who we are, who we work for and how we operate.
Wat is Taradin?
Taradin is een Belgisch adviesbureau dat organisaties helpt bij het nemen van beslissingen over benoemingen, promoties en sleutelrollen. Taradin onderzoekt of een persoon, een rol en de organisatorische context werkelijk bij elkaar passen, vóórdat een beslissing wordt genomen.
Taradin werd opgericht door Margareta Pyckhout, die 26 jaar werkte in de financiële sector, waarvan 18 jaar op directieniveau. Zij combineert die ervaring met een verdieping in existentiële psychologie, logotherapie en integratieve psychotherapie.
Who is it for?
Taradin works with organisations that:
— are unsure about an appointment or promotion to a key role
— have a management team in which collaboration repeatedly causes friction
— find that decision-making is stalling due to unclear roles, mandates or structure
— want to avoid a wrong decision regarding a key role having major consequences
What services?
Role fit
"We are unsure about an appointment or promotion."
Taradin assesses whether the candidate, the role and the context are truly a good fit before an appointment or promotion is confirmed.
Core scan
"Something's going on, but we can't quite make it out."
An analysis that reveals what is really going on: within the individual, the role, the context or the system.
Architecture
"Decisions get bogged down because of roles, mandates or structures."
Taradin identifies where decision-making is being held up or where key roles are working at cross-purposes.
What is Taradin's view?
The first question is never 'Who is the problem?' — the first question is 'What are we failing to see?'
The cause rarely lies solely with the individual. It arises when the person, their role, the context, expectations and decision-making no longer align. Taradin employs a 'work-level' approach: a framework for assessing whether the complexity of a role corresponds to what the structure or the individual can actually cope with.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Role & Decision Architecture?
Taradin's approach aims to highlight whether a person, a role and the organisational context are a good fit, so that organisations can make decisions on appointments and promotions with greater clarity.
Who is Taradin intended for?
For organisations that are unsure about an appointment, promotion or key role, or that find that decision-making is stalling due to unclear roles or structure.
What is the difference between Role fit, Core can and Architecture?
Role Fit assesses whether a candidate is suited to a specific appointment or promotion. Core Scan analyses what is actually at play in a role, a person or a context. Architecture examines the broader organisational and role structure.
Who is Margareta Pyckhout?
The founder of Taradin. She worked in the financial sector for 26 years, 18 of which were at executive level, and subsequently immersed herself in existential psychology, logotherapy and integrative psychotherapy.
How do you start a programme with Taradin?
Through an exploratory discussion or the Decision Clarity Scan, which identifies which service best suits your situation.
Check whether this scan is relevant to your situation
Arrange a discreet, exploratory meeting. We'll discuss together whether this process is right for you — with no obligation.
Sometimes clarity is enough. Sometimes the analysis reveals that the friction is structural. In that case, the work doesn't stop at gaining insight. The system itself then calls for a redesign. This is where Role & Decision Architecture comes in: an in-depth process in which roles, mandates, interfaces and decision-making are structurally realigned.
The Decision Clarity Scan is often the starting point for further initiatives relating to role fit, core scans or role and decision architecture.
