From January 1st, 2023, Planders has a new office in Veenendaal. It is located in a beautiful and modern sustainable building at Vendelier 2C, 3905PA in Veenendaal, providing a pleasant and healthy working environment for meetings and discussions.
Leadership is one of the crucial success factors for organizations. Therefore, a lot of attention is given to leadership development programs. But how effective are these programs? Gerard Nauta (Planders) and Tom Koppelman (Net Change Factory) explain that we can only determine the effectiveness of these programs when we can objectively measure their impact.
Inspired by the illustrious words of Lord William Thompson Kelvin: "If you can not measure it, you can not improve it."

A change is focused on the future, and you want to be part of it. And that journey can be beautiful and enjoyable. That's why on September 1st, 2022, we acquired the design agency Grafische Kamer, in order to make our change journeys more beautiful and understandable, and to dress up the journey so that it can become more of an experience that people can be proud of.
Tom Koppelman will speak next Thursday (June 23rd) during the CIO&CDO Insights about change capability and how to get started with it.
According to the 4th National Change Capability Survey of 2022, only 16% of Dutch employees are convinced that their organization can effectively handle change. It is concerning to see how organizations are struggling with this issue. The survey, conducted by the Business Fit Network, involved over 1900 employed Dutch individuals and is available for free. Planders contributed to the 2022 National Change Capability Survey because we have noticed that many organizations prioritize "Change" on their agenda, while struggling to figure out how to bring about these changes in a smart and effective manner.
Veerle Vreeke from Planders has been tasked with supporting the Institute for Mining Damage Groningen (IMG) as a process facilitator.
Veerle officially started as a Project Management Officer (PMO) at Planders B.V. today. She was prepared for this together with the team throughout this month, and now the time has finally come.
The capability for change refers to an organization's ability to effectively implement changes based on the belief of its employees or the organization that they are capable of doing so. This factor accounts for more than 80% of success, and a lack of attention to it increases the likelihood of failures.

With their broad experience as management and organizational consultants, as well as their experience as clients, combined with a practical approach and entrepreneurial spirit, Planders is able to assist directors and their organizations in their change processes.
