Writing our book "A Successful Organisation Is in Control of Its Operating Model', and creating this website are part of our journey. Through them, we want to educate people about the importance of operating models and strategy execution, and help organisations become more successful by taking control of their operating model.

​

Over the years, we have taken on many different roles and worked in a wide range of organisations and situations. Our sweet spot is scale-ups and larger organisations or business units of up to 2,500 employees, particularly in professional services (e.g. healthcare, consulting and legal), IT, SaaS and platform businesses, financial services, and NGOs.

By now, we have a good sense of what we are good at and who we want to work with. Yet, after more than 20 years, we still manage to surprise ourselves.That is why we approach every first conversation with an open mind. We listen, engage, and explore what is needed—and take it from there.

​

Examples of what we do:

• We are energised by inspiring people to embrace change. We thrive on creating enthusiasm and motivating organisations to commit to changing their operating model or executing a strategy. Because ultimately, it’s all about people working together. And, as we know from experience, there’s nothing more energising than people working together in a successful organisation. Reach out to us for a pitch or a dayspeaker.

• We really enjoy educating people. Willem, for example, teaches at the Executive MBA at Nyenrode University. We offer training sessions ranging from three hours to a full day, tailored to your needs. We also offer a formal two-day strategy execution training, including a case and exam, for groups of 10 to 24 participants.

• We help management boards establish a holistic, shared view of how their organisation operates. In our experience, this is always the starting point for addressing the issues at hand and making the right decisions. We have helped dozens of management boards develop such a shared view. Depending on the challenge, we can also support you in the next steps. And if something falls outside our area of expertise, we will simply tell you.

• We coach organisations in designing and managing their operating model and executing their strategy. We believe organisations should design and manage their own operating model and strategy execution. However, they may need some help getting there. So don’t ask us to do the legwork for you. We coach and support you, but we will never take over the job.

• We are always happy to have a (virtual) coffee. Throughout our careers, we have benefited enormously from the advice and experience of others over a coffee or lunch. Now it is our turn to pass on our advice and experiences. So we will always accept an invitation for a (virtual) coffee. We do expect you to pick up the check, though. ;)

So don’t hesitate and contact us, via our contact form. Look forward to talk to you.

PS: We are based primarily in the Netherlands, but we like to travel and are happy to work wherever the challenge takes us.
