What Edna Pasher PhD and Associates does

Edna Pasher PhD and Associates (Hebrew: קבוצת ד"ר עדנה פשר – יועצים לניהול בע"מ) is an Israeli management consulting firm founded in 1978 and headquartered at Rofeh Hamahterot 35, Tel Aviv. The firm operates across three integrated service lines: management consulting, qualitative and quantitative organizational research, and training and development. Its work spans executive advisory, organizational change management, strategic planning, organizational culture design, family business succession, innovation leadership, and ethical dialogue facilitation. Clients include CEOs and executive boards, government ministries, NGOs, family-owned businesses, public companies, and startups in Israel and, via EU R&D partnerships, internationally.

The firm's underlying intellectual property is methodological rather than software-based. It has developed proprietary frameworks including APD (Appreciative Process Design / Adaptive Positive Deviance), an Intellectual Capital measurement framework that maps intangible organizational assets into competitive advantage, and a Train the Trainer capacity-building methodology. Supporting assets include the Status Magazine (a management and strategic-thinking journal), the Israeli Smart Cities Institute (founded 2015), the annual Albert Einstein Innovation in Education Hackathon (led for 5 years), and ongoing academic teaching roles at Ben-Gurion University and Western Galilee College. A 2020-launched Direct Personal Consulting digital advisory extends the offering to individual professionals via phone or video.

Commercially, Edna Pasher PhD and Associates operates as a sales-led boutique consultancy with bespoke, quote-based engagements and multi-year contracts. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Revenue streams are professional services across the three core lines, supplemented by EU-funded collaborative research projects (TRUST, ECOSTEAM, TRANS URBAN EU CHINA, iCareNet) and a 2015 exclusive online-MBA partnership with the California Institute of Advanced Management (CIAM). The firm is privately held and founder-led; no institutional investors, subsidiaries, or M&A activity are disclosed in the source material.
