Our manifesto
Governance sets direction.
To govern is to evaluate, direct, and monitor management. Takter exists so that direction reaches results, and to measure when it does.
Evaluate, direct, and monitor
The three verbs come from Decree 9,203/2017, which defines public governance in Brazil, and from Law 14,133/2021, Brazil's public procurement law, which holds senior management accountable for the governance of procurement. ISO/IEC 38500 and COBIT describe the same cycle for IT.
Takter Consulting follows this cycle across three practices: Takter Transformation, which assesses the starting point and leads organizational transformation; Governance, which directs the governance of IT, AI, ESG, and public procurement; and ESG Tech, which monitors environmental and social results with technology that measures them.
Every project starts by measuring the starting point and ends with the value delivered, measured against it. Along the way, a highly specialized team and AI governed according to the ISO/IEC 42001 guidelines. Converge and Sustenext, the Takter Solutions platforms, keep measuring after the project ends.
Where the name comes from
Takter comes from takt, a word rooted in the Latin tactus, touch. In music, takt is the beat and the measure that organize a piece.
In everyday use, takt also means tact. Takter applies that perception to reading businesses, clients, and the world, to see beyond the obvious. Like the measure in music, it builds clear, defined structures that adapt to each culture, organization, and project.
The name is plural because Takter is a sum. In Swedish and Norwegian, takter is the plural of takt, and the Takter team is plural and collaborative, producing results together.
