Our mission is to elevate our human capacity to partner — in business, organizations, teams, our lives, and ultimately across the economy and society as a whole.
We do this by providing the expertise, know-how, tools, and methodologies to create the conditions that unlock a new sense of “We” — one that moves from winning over others to valuing our unique and infinite co-creative human nature.
Nothing living thrives in isolation. Nature understood this long before we did. Modern biology and quantum physics increasingly point toward the same insight: interdependence is a fundamental principle of living systems, sustained through balanced cycles of giving and receiving — through collaborating, not competing.
We humans are no exception. When we understand the conditions and structures that make partnering collaboration possible and valuable, we can unlock a collective power — whether in organizations, teams, neighborhoods, communities, or within our Self. It becomes a generative human energy we can consciously create, sustain, and grow for the benefit of all.
The sooner we design our organizations, economies, leadership, and lives around partnering mastery, the greater our possibility to create a future that benefits us all.

Dr. Eva Bilhuber Galli is a multi-stakeholder engagement expert, senior consultant, executive coach, lecturer, author, and founder of The Value of We.
Over a 25-year career, she has supported leaders and organisations across sectors in building partnering cultures — helping them move beyond silo-thinking, matrix inertia, and power struggles toward greater agility, trust, and shared responsibility — first in corporate functions at UBS in Zurich and Frankfurt, and for over 15 years as an independent expert through Human Facts — The Value of We. Her PhD research into the social conditions that enable cross-boundary collaboration led to several internationally acknowledged publications and the development of the Partnering Wisdom Model™ — the evidence-based framework at the heart of all Value of We offerings.
Eva holds a PhD in Strategic Management from the University of St. Gallen, is a certified Change Manager and Collective Leadership expert, and has published in Leadership Quarterly, Harvard Business Manager, NZZ Libro, and Handelsblatt Verlag.
Moving from placing the “me” before the “we” toward consciously creating and sustaining a “We” implies:
From competition as default — to partnering by design
From gaining market share — to creating value with others
From silos and functions — to the quality of interaction
From central control — to networked governance
From managing people — to cultivating conditions for trust and belonging
From optimizing individual performance — to enabling collective intelligence
From management as hierarchical control — to management as relational architecture
From leaders as performance conductors — to leaders as bridge builders
From seeing humans as isolated rational minds — to relational beings integrating mind, body, and soul
The Value of We has never been a solo journey. Many clients, colleagues, partners, and compagnions have shaped its evolution over the years. The friends featured here are those I have been fortunate to turn to again and again—generously sharing their thinking, expertise, advice, encouragement, and honest challenge whenever I reached out. Their co-creative spirit continues to inspire me and has been instrumental in moving this mission forward.

Dr Cynthia Kauami
Researcher & Lecturer, Namibia University of Science and Technology
Thank you for being such a wonderful, longstanding thinking partner in exploring how entrepreneurs and small firms can bring partnering to life across cultures and sectors. Your research inspires me to see how much we can learn from African cultures and the philosophy of Ubuntu. Over ten years of heart-centred exchange and collaborations with you have filled me with deep humility and appreciation for these cultural roots.
Glen Long
The knowledge partner I didn't know I needed.
Thank you for reminding me that true learning begins when people discover for themselves how they can make a difference. You challenge me so wisely to see that transferring unique knowledge effectively means more than sharing expertise—it means designing an experience that enables people to learn, apply, and grow. You are a true master at turning expertise rooted in experience into teachable moments—with a heartbeat.
Prof. Dr. Günter Müller-Stewens
Professor Emeritus of Strategic Management, University of St. Gallen
Thank you for our long and inspiring co-publishing journey. I feel deeply grateful and honored for our many conversations about bringing humanity back into management—and for learning alongside such a widely recognized thought leader in strategic management research. More than fifteen years of co-authoring with you have taught me that economic thinking and genuine humility are powerful partners, not competitors, in creating meaningful impact for both, businesses and humanity.
Renato Galli
Life Partner and the Quiet Force Behind the Scenes
Thank you for your quiet and reliable presence behind the Value of We from the beginning. The financial, technical, and managerial expertise you so generously contribute is indispensable to building and sustaining the framework behind this mission. You are the first person I turn to for advice. More importantly, you remind me that the Value of We is not only a professional philosophy, but a way of living together—one day at a time.
Our new digital and circular business models are partner-to-partner models. They require a co-creative value generation among all partners, including a fair distribution thereof.
We don’t treat collaboration success only as a behavioral people issue. Through research and real-world practice, we identified the conditions, structures, processes, and governance that help — or hinder — partnering collaboration across any kind of boundary.
This led to the evidence-based Partnering Wisdom Model™ — holding over 15 years of research and applied experience in one guiding framework. It helps design the conditions for trust experiences to emerge and sustain across various contexts and levels:
On the individual level — developing the capacity to engage, inspire, and lead partnering interactions — at work and in life.
On the organizational level — shaping routines, structures, and governance that sustain trust and co-creation across teams, projects, and organizations over time.
On the digital level — designing digital environments and features that enable trust experiences at scale.
Working with the Partnering Wisdom Model™, you become a relational architect — embedding trust into structures, enabling collaboration by design, and shaping environments where shared understanding, commitment, and responsibility emerge naturally — unlocking the value of We.
Human Facts AG is an independent, privately-owned, Swiss-based management consultancy founded in 2009 and the company behind The Value of We. We specialize in organization-wide transformation and multi-stakeholder engagement through a systematic partnering approach across organizations, teams, and individuals — unlocking what we call 1+1=11: the value of We.
The Value of We Academy was created alongside our consulting and sparring offerings to make partnering know-how more broadly accessible through programs, communities, and practical tools.
The Value of We Think Tank is our latest mission-driven initiative — exploring with researchers and leaders alike whether partnering, rather than competition, could become a guiding paradigm for our business world.
Backed by over 15 years of international practice, The Value of We continues to evolve as a mission-driven business creating economic and human value hand in hand. Working as an ecosystem with partners, we continuously reinvest our earnings into new services and offerings, donate 1% to environmental initiatives in our region and dedicate 20% of our time supporting other initiatives striving for a more equitable and sustainable economic system.
