AXIOCENTRIC: The business advisory helping organizations succeed in the 21st century.
“A former Global Senior Vice President of Sony Corp. and seasoned executive with 35+ broad international executive experience founded AXIOCENTRIC to help organizations thrive in the Digital era”.
A true Global trotter and business nomad, Dimitris Kourepis worked and lived in San Francisco, Tokyo, London, NY, Munich, Vienna, Zurich, Brussels, Athens, and Cracow, with extended stays at BRICS.
He honed his leadership skills as an executive (CEO, Managing Director, SVP) globally, leading teams in 70+ countries and having an outstanding record in transforming or setting up organizations from scratch.
He fulfilled multiple roles in various missions and organizations (mainstream and start-ups, B2B and B2C, devices and services), industries, and geographies, often facing crises and, most often, growing businesses.
For the last 8 years, he has focused on advising and educating executives and organizations to succeed.
Inspired by Axiology, a significant branch of Philosophy, he named the business advisory AXIOCENTRIC, emphasizing his drive for value creation.
AXIOCENTRIC’s mission is to remain true to its name, which means VALUE-CENTRIC in ancient Greek, by helping organizations thrive.
Being an expert in Leadership Development, Digital Transformation, Digital Marketing, CX, and Business Performance, AXIOCENTRIC helps organizations succeed by tailoring services to their needs. It is proud to have clients in the UK, Germany, the USA, the U.A.E, Singapore, Greece, and South Africa.

Μastering the art of ISOROPIN!! A fresh approach to how to lead.
Although AI and technology inspire us all, Dimitris sees leadership development as the most important opportunity and challenge for organizations to focus on.
We live in a time of relentless change. The world is moving faster than ever before. Markets are volatile, competition is fierce, and the expectations placed on leaders are higher than ever. Leaders are asked to be visionaries, decision-makers, innovators, and mentors while navigating complexity, limited resources, and an uncertain future. Leaders crave easy solutions to succeed.
While many books and concepts about leadership exist, most are mono-dimensional and dogmatic. They show conflicting directions and solutions, making it difficult for leaders to decide which to embrace and apply. What’s more important? Speed or Patience? Agility or Commitment? Innovation or Methodology? Transformation or Stability?
This important gap in leadership development led Dimitris to conceive and conceptualize the art of ISOROPIN and write and publish the book “Leading in Dynamic Ecosystems: by Mastering the Art of ISOROPIN.”
The book connects disconnected concepts and promotes the importance of finding the right balance depending on the context in which leaders operate. It teaches us that there are no magic wands to succeed or perfect answers to our challenges. Instead, we must take a pragmatic, flexible approach to leadership. The book identifies 130+ dimensions that leaders must balance, from strategic priorities to interpersonal skills and work-life balance. The author suggests that true leadership lies in dynamically adjusting these dimensions based on the context and time constraints. It’s a fresh approach that redefines balance for the fast-changing modern business world.
Leadership is, at its core, a dynamic balancing act. Leading imperfect organizations in dynamic, imperfect ecosystems requires a pragmatic approach.
The right balance should be M.A.D.:
Multidimensional, assessing the whole context and many dimensions that matter, considering the challenges we face and our resources.
Asymmetrical, prioritizing and attributing different weight and importance to different elements, variables, and dimensions, depending on the context.
Dynamic, since the context will keep changing fast, and the windows of opportunities get smaller.
Achieving asymmetrical dynamic balance means successfully balancing many dimensions on the move.
Leaders should consider the following 3 critical Cs that influence how to ISOROPIN:
Cosmos: The context within which we operate, the stakeholders’ expectations, the resources they provide, and the challenges we face.
Chronos: The time restrictions within which we should perform.
Character: The personal lens we use to understand Cosmos & Chronos and respond accordingly.
ISOROPIN is the art and philosophical approach that helps leaders think holistically and realistically about using all dimensions instead of getting dogmatic about one or two. It brings ancient wisdom about the golden rule to the modern, fast, dynamic, and complex world, connecting disconnected principles and values related to leadership. Mastering this art helps us create value, succeed in business and enjoy life!
ISOROPIN is valuable for leaders who genuinely want to create value for Cosmos; The “Real Leaders”.
This is a book for dynamic AXIOCENTRIC (value-centric) leaders only.
