A modular system of books, courses, apps, and coaching designed to help you understand people, influence outcomes, and navigate the workplace.
Everything starts with people. Organizations are just large groups of people. Understanding the human dynamics of your workplace, especially the ones nobody else is willing to talk about, is the most important skill you can develop.
HBWE was developed by Duane K. Andrews over two decades of corporate training, executive coaching, and teaching MBA students from around the world. It combines organizational behavior theory with the lived reality of professionals whose difference is both their greatest asset and their most persistent obstacle.
Each HBWE module includes four interconnected components. Every module includes the ENRICH Outsider perspective.
Intellectual framework. Research, vignettes, expert citations. Available in two versions: universal (for everyone) and ENRICH Outsider (specialized).
Structured learning. Video, exercises, assessments. Existing courses get ENRICH Outsider adapted sections added.
Interactive practice. Scenario simulation, self-assessment, AI coaching. Available on dkatoolkit.com.

The workplace was not designed for you. But once you understand how it actually works, you can navigate it, influence it, and lead within it on your own terms.
