Our Work Approach
All our interventions are based on a shared methodological foundation. Our approach ensures that learning leads to real behavioural change rather than merely transferring knowledge.

ACTION ORIENTATION
Our training interventions are grounded in Action Regulation Theory (Frese & Zapf, 1994) and take an action-oriented approach to learning. Participants not only learn concepts, but also actively apply them to their own work, projects or businesses during the training.
They develop concrete action plans and practise key action principles as practical ‘rules of thumb’, as well as learning how to give and receive constructive feedback. This ensures that learning translates immediately into behaviour, supporting participants in achieving their goals step by step.
SCIENTIFIC FOUNDATION
All our interventions are evidence-based and build on decades of scientific research in the fields of work and organisational psychology, entrepreneurship and proactive behaviour.
The structure and content of our training programmes are derived directly from research on action regulation and factors that contribute to business success.
We focus on strengthening the psychological skills and behaviours that have been shown to lead to long-term success in work, entrepreneurship and organisations.


Continuous Evaluation
Our interventions are regularly evaluated to measure learning outcomes, behavioural change and implementation quality.
While our core interventions have been examined using randomised controlled trials — the gold standard — others have been assessed through project-level evaluations, mixed-method approaches and continuous monitoring.
By combining scientific research with applied evaluation practice, we refine our interventions continuously to ensure they remain effective and relevant in diverse contexts.
CONTEXTUAL ADAPTATION
There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Each intervention is adapted to the local context and target group, based on thorough needs assessments and close collaboration with local stakeholders.
Although the core methodology, structure, tools and action principles remain consistent to ensure effectiveness, the case studies, examples, language and exercises are adapted according to the cultural, economic and institutional context. This approach ensures relevance without compromising scientific integrity.


CAPACITY BUILDING
Achieving sustainable impact requires local ownership. We work closely with our partners to train and mentor local trainers, equipping them with the skills to deliver our interventions independently long after a project has ended.
At the same time, MOVE continues to act as a long-term partner, providing coaching, consultancy and evaluation support as required. This approach ensures that knowledge remains within organisations and communities, continuing to grow over time.
