Work method

The Xylema working method starts from the conception of the fact that any result / objective can be achieved through multiple ways.
The most appropriate path to follow to guide our customers towards achieving the results they expect must not be imposed on the basis of "best practices" or our convictions matured over time but according to shared paths and adapted to the realities and contexts with which we interface.
Ours will never be an "adapted" consultancy but will be rigorously tailor made.

Why “Xylema”?

The xylem is a plant tissue present in vascular plants and used for the conduction of the raw sap, that contains water and solutes dissolved, from the roots to the leaves. Its function is fundamental as it is at the basis of chlorophyll photosynthesis, a process that, as known, allows plants to live and develop.

"Xylema Consulting" was born with this same purpose: to assist and support companies in development and growth, acting as a "channel" and "guide" in a whole series of activities and processes in which the contribution of "new elements" that will turn into lifeblood.
