About the center for ego development
With our work we address everyone who has the deep conviction that there is more behind what you think, feel and how you can act up to now. And when you long for a tangible, walkable approach that elevates yourself and the people you care about.
Application and research for ego development
Our story
The ZIE&T was brought to life by me, Thomas Binder, after three decades of intensive work with the ego development model. I am very happy to have found a selected circle of professionally and personally trustworthy people who share my passion and my professional standards for self-development and who personally, with their competence, responsibly and without excessive egos are committed to making this topic a meaningful one contribution to our world.
What we stand for
Science and research
Decades of application experience
Human responsibility
Self-development is an issue that should be dealt with responsibly. This applies in particular to the assessment of the vertical development level of a person’s ego, but also what development levels are, how they differ and what influence they have on application-related topics. Here we consider some of the assessments, representations and claims of others about ego development to be difficult to understand.

Dr. Thomas Binder
Supervisor (DGSv,SG,IPU Berlin), economic mediator (BM®)
I have been working as an organizational consultant and coach since 1995. When I worked on research projects at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development from 1993, I got to know the ego development model. Its scientific foundation and effects on all areas of life fascinate me again and again. In my research on this and hundreds of assessments and consultations with executives worldwide, I was able to experience more and more deeply the powerful potential for consultants and executives this approach holds.
Scientific circle
Our circle accompanies the research, development and application work around the ego development profile and the topic of ego development. We are in professional exchange with each other in order to advance and further develop relevant questions and topics related to self-development.
We all have an academic background, have worked scientifically on topics relevant to ego development for several years and share the aspiration to conduct solid research. We have been passionately involved with self-development for more than a decade and, thanks to several years of scoring training, are familiar with its data basis and diverse content-related and methodical facets.

Certified scorers and advisory group
In our circle we are responsible for the qualified and high-quality creation of Ego-DevelopmentProfiles. By sharing and supervising our scoring work, we ensure the quality standard that is mandatory for all of us. In addition, we discuss technical questions and topics that arise from our scoring, coaching and consulting work, as well as related ideas and concepts.
We share with each other our passion for the topic of ego development. All of us have undergone various longer process-oriented counseling trainings, are experienced coaches/counselors, and have completed (or are in the process of completing) several years of scoring training in Ego Development, which gives us a deep and multi-faceted insight into how Ego Development manifests.
consulting firms
In addition to managing ZIE&T, I, Thomas Binder, work as an organizational consultant, coach, supervisor and managing partner of Synchronize-Consult-GmbH.
We are a partner-run, internationally active consulting company that supports organizations, teams and managers in mastering change processes effectively and humanely. In order for these changes to be effective and sustainable, we are increasingly integrating a vertical development perspective into our advice. The ZIE&T supports this as a competence center for self-development and (vertical) transformation.
Our performance promise is more than solving current issues: a development process that gives you more flexibility in decision-making situations and in dealing with complex challenges.
We are happy to help.
