I ASSIST YOU WITH THE ISSUES THAT IMPACT THE CORE OF YOUR ORGANIZATION
MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES, SITUATIONAL CHOICES
The issues I am called in for always have a history. After all, if it were simple, you would have solved the problem yourself. Often, many interventions have already been tried, but the desired results remain elusive. This is usually because several parties, each with different ambitions and interests, are involved. There isn’t just one owner of the problem or one single cause, but multiple stakeholders and numerous causes. The key is to approach the problem from various angles. In such a context, my challenge is to achieve tangible results for my clients. By looking at the situation from multiple perspectives and then selecting the most appropriate change method from my toolkit, new alternatives for action and real results emerge.
ORGANIC DEVELOPMENT
New and creative ideas and solutions often arise not through endless discussions, but by taking action! By testing new forms, methods, and collaborations on a small scale, we can discover what works. If it works, we implement it immediately; if it doesn’t, we adjust the approach. This way of organic development resonates with me and is beautifully described by Weick in his book Sensemaking in Organizations (Weick, 1995):
- When people start acting (enactment),
- they generate tangible results (cues),
- within a social context,
- which helps them discover retrospectively
- what is going on (ongoing),
- what needs to be explained (plausibility),
- and what should be done next (identity enhancement).
TOGETHER WITH YOUR PEOPLE
In my work and within your organization, it always comes down to people. An organization is made up of people, just like society. How do we create an atmosphere and context where everyone can fully utilize their own strengths and talents? I dive into the heart of your organization together with your people to find new, creative ideas and solutions to your challenges.

WHAT MY CLIENTS AND COLLEAGUES SAY ABOUT ME
Theo is a courageous and highly intelligent consultant. He can quickly translate his refreshing vision into concrete actions. I’ve always seen Theo more as a colleague than a consultant—perhaps that is his greatest strength.
I got to know Theo when he, along with some younger colleagues, wanted to bring members of the Order into contact with each other and themselves in a different way. Typical Theo—fully engaging in connection while adding his own unique and original twist. For Theo, connecting means more than just meeting. Talking also means doing. With Theo, you can connect conceptually, emotionally, and practically. It’s a privilege to have gotten to know you, Theo!
Essentially, working with Theo means understanding, connecting, and analyzing. Theo uncovers the deeper meaning behind behaviors within an organization. He keeps you on your toes and provides tailored language, pace, and interventions.
