We are Organizational Architects

We thrive on chaos and complexity

We seek simplicity and elegance

We help you formulate and organize a meaningful working context
where humans can deploy their full potential as individuals and as a group.

Together


We assist you in exploring and choosing your own options, rather than offering you predetermined solutions.

Valense Ltd. was incorporated in 2003 and stemmed from the idea to create a knowledge network to develop novel ideas and share opportunities with colleagues.

We have offices worldwide and over 30 partners and associates in more than 15 countries across all continents. This network enables us to provide personalized and consistent services to our clients worldwide.

Our commitment to diversity and balance allows us to assist our clients in building their own specific solutions, not impose ours. We have delivered consistently successful projects to several hundred satisfied clients.

“The Valense Palatine Group” is a Premier Authorized Training Partner (ATP #2094) under the program launched by PMI® in 2020 and, before that, was a PMI® Charter Global Registered Education Provider (R.E.P.) since 2003.

Valense has partnered with “The Palatine Group” to provide training under the brand “The Valense Palatine Group”.

​For over 25 years our partners have established training programs, created material and delivered face-to-face and online courses and seminars in a number of industries at executive and practitioner levels as well as in academic institutions.

Offering


​Our standard offerings are approved by leading professional associations and lead to certification in known disciplines. When clients voice specific needs, we perform a 'training needs analysis' to ensure maximum knowledge acquisition and training transfer. Courses are not seen as isolated events but as part of a learning process in which both trainers and trainees are mutually involved.
