Inspire. Realize. Activate. Three phases in the transformation to a digital future. Where can we make the biggest impact within your organization? After years of experience with various clients, we know that an approach is often customized, focused on tangible goals. Not getting stuck for too long, but doing things together. Scaling up and adjusting with new insights and experiences. Read here how we can help you in every phase of your digital transformation.
We look externally, we look ahead and sometimes we look back. From technological developments to societal challenges. What is relevant for your organization? Let us inspire you with the latest trends and insights on data, digitalization, innovation and sustainability. Our lessons learned will help you catch up and accelerate.
You don’t need to go to Silicon Valley or China for a peek behind the scenes of the experts. Inspiration within and outside of your sector can often be found much closer to home. We take you to discover how frontrunners innovate. How do they deal with the trends, opportunities, issues and challenges that are also relevant to your organization? This will keep you abreast of possible changes the future may bring, you’ll gain insight into what these changes could mean for your organization, and help you inspire your colleagues to focus on the future.
Learn moreWe believe that growth comes from inspiration. New insights create drive, a broader view and energy. This is what you will leave with after a Talk. With a considerable track record in various sectors, we bring unique knowledge, developments, new insights and know how to translate those into what is relevant for your organization.
Learn moreWe organize interactive online sessions of 45 minutes in which knowledge from internal experts, possibly supplemented by market research and external speakers, is transferred to colleagues. What is happening around us? What choice do we make? What are our competitors doing? In this way we aim that your colleagues have the same level of knowledge in order to make the right choices together.
The ambition is clear and you know where you want to go as an organization. But sometimes that speck on the horizon is not sharp yet and the number of roads to it seems endless. When do you know you have achieved success? How can you translate this within all the different parts of an organization? We help you clarify the goal and the route to give direction and accelerate the transformation.
Our Shapers have been involved in countless transformations within organizations. Our approach is pragmatic and solution-oriented, always making the speck on the horizon manageable. We often help organizations with the entire change process, but we also offer guidance on specific components. For example, in learning new ways of working or the adoption of (new) systems and technology.
Working with programs is a good way to jointly tackle complex, temporary and goal-oriented transformation assignments. With direction and steering, we ensure focus, coherence and positive energy to make the desired impact. After all, adjusting and accelerating fits well into these times when change seems to be the only constant.
We can guide both the entire program and parts or (projects) within it. We learn and adapt. Step by step, we work in co-creation towards concrete and tangible goals. The dot on the horizon, remember?
Digital transformation is driven by technology, its success is determined by people. This aspect is often underestimated but can make or break a transformation. We understand people and we understand technology. Our strength is connecting the two.
We map the impact of change on your organization and employees and draw up an action plan. For example, by effectively deploying leadership, involving the (right) departments, aligning KPIs and streamlining communication.
Learn moreWe guide the leaders. Because they play a crucial role during transformations. Not just by setting a good example, but by actively creating support, indicating urgency and communicating clearly and consistently. On one hand, we offer tangible tools to use the role of leader as efficiently as possible. On the other, we continue to challenge and inspire on vision, developments and impact for the organization.

Building a digital playground
Innovation is not ‘top of mind’ for everyone. But without awareness of the opportunities and possibilities, new technology will remain on the shelf. What a pity that would be. So, it is high time to work on the digital mindset of your employees. How? By making it fun.
Learning new skills requires adaptability, which is often perceived as exciting. By casting new digital themes in game form and exploring these in groups, team members are not addressed on what they can or can’t do, but playfully stimulated to step out of their comfort zone. Our workshops and games are instructive, interactive and contain the right dose of fun, making them highly suitable as teambuilding activities.
Often there are more successful projects within the organization than people realize. Therefore, we facilitate a lunch market, where various internal best practices are presented to colleagues in just 7 minutes. This way you celebrate successes together and inspire others to similar behavior!
Learn to think in terms of solutions and innovation. ‘Design Thinking’ is practical and creative and can be used for big issues like sustainability to smaller challenges like adjustments to products or services or developing new propositions.
Learn moreData is fun. Especially if you understand what you can do with it. In this data workshop, we teach you how to set up a data study. How can data contribute to your organization’s strategic issues?
Learn moreMake it fun. We challenge participants to playfully discover the possibilities and opportunities of technology. For this, we use game techniques and design to ensure that people are stimulated to go the extra mile.
