We are looking beyond hype cycles to create lasting impact
We offer a range of services to accommodate our diverse set of clients - from financial institutions and public organisations to universities and media firms.
Research
We offer more than plain data
Our strong research background is key to identifying user needs, exploring hidden opportunities and to building strategic insights. We use both quantitative and qualitative methods to gather relevant data. Our research is geared towards generating insights that can be acted upon — and we help you act upon it.
Concept Development
We want you to be successful in the long run
Based on our insights and hands-on approach, we develop educational concepts with a long-term time horizon. To tailor these concepts to the needs of our clients and their users, we employ various customer-centric methodologies such as design thinking, co-creation and digital customer journeys.
Consulting
We help implement educational experiences
Giving advice and developing concepts is one thing but implementation is a whole different ballgame. We take on both advisory and managerial roles to implement the changes that are needed to realize the vision on learning of our clients. From tutoring teachers, building new (social and commercial) business models to setting up new processes to implement educational experiences. Our collaborative approach creates a sense of co-ownership with all major stakeholders.
Speaking
We spark change through inspiration
Through talks at international conferences, business meetings and organisations, we aim to inspire participants to to think about the possibilities offered by learning experience — whether this is for formal learning, professional environments or more informal settings such as advertising and communication, skills development (i.e. innovation or co-creation skills), promoting behavioural change or fostering dialogue between internal or external people.
Workshop facilitation
We offer innovative hands-on experiences
We organise workshops for our clients where we combine inspiration and innovation with hands-on sessions. These could focus on creating new educational experiences, setting strategy & KPI’s, monitoring and evaluation, creating a new social or commercial business model, innovation processes or creating support within teams for change.

Evaluation and monitoring
We love details
Besides delivering innovative solutions, we conduct in depth qualitative and quantitive analysis to help you monitor and evaluate the outcomes of your educational experience. We believe that monitoring is a tool that greatly helps to continuously iterate products and services to meet an ever change demand of users.
Training
We help you tell your new story internally
New concepts bring transformation. With it, it brings a new mindset and new workflows. With an an excellent academic background we are experienced and capable of telling your new story and the changes that come with it within your organization and beyond. When we say that we try to involve all stakeholders in strategy development, we mean it. Through trainings, we want to get everyone that is relevant on the same page, so we can move forward together.
Future Studies
We help you design the future
Humans are great in organizing knowledge from the past, and filter information from the present. But what of the future? Policy makers, businesses and technical universities are involved in futures research, often with the aim to anticipate, prepare and, in some cases, change potential futures. We are specialised in future scanning: the systematic exploration of possible future developments in the social, political, economic, technological, environmental and other domains with the aim to help policy makers, companies and other relevant actors prepare for or create the future.
Grant writing
Funding for educational projects
Many educational and cultural institutions depend on grants from governments, foundations or businesses. We have over 15 years of experience in grant writing, be it from national governments, European research projects, Erasmus+ applications or for funds and companies. We use this knowledge to help our clients align their objectives with the grant requirements.
