testimonial

Chris Derboven - Stedelijk Lyceum Zuid
IKZ-coordinator

"In my position as a quality manager in education, I find that, even in our sector, we lose an awful lot of opportunities, time and money. Management and teachers (and unions) have almost always learned to take a position in a negotiation. Then, we try to win on the basis of arguments. But it just doesn’t work. And moreover, the higher the level at which the negotiation is carried out, the less arguments from the classroom and the school are heard − even though that’s where the teaching takes place.
Thanks to Prof Katia Tieleman’s highly interactive programme, I’ve learned to do my homework beforehand in the school hallways − so that I can understand the interests of all parties involved before the crucial meeting begins. This approach makes an extraordinary difference: it allows you to create value for the stakeholders, instead of ending up in a win/lose or even lose/lose situation.

I particularly appreciate the fact that Prof Tieleman has developed a scientifically grounded Negotiation Intelligence scan. After the programme, we’ve used this tool to gain insight into our own strengths and challenges to become even better negotiators."

Responsible Leadership: how to reimage leadership in a world full of grand challenges

Virtually every organisation is in the sustainability business today – which has become a new minimum in attracting and retaining customers. To make transformation happen, businesses will need to reinvent themselves. This white paper focusses on the transformation that is needed within organisations to make change happen and how organisations can increase their maturity level when it comes to sustainability themes. Based on our interviews with sustainability officers from a wide variety of companies, we zoom in on the importance of leadership – and, more specifically, of responsible leadership.
Four different strategies of workforce flexibility

The trend towards flexible work is not new, but the Covid-19 pandemic has definitely accelerated these efforts. Investing in workforce flexibility is no longer a luxury, but a key strategic priority that can yield important benefits. In addition to improving employee engagement, flexibility can improve productivity and profitability. Moreover, organisations that offer greater flexibility can tap into a broader talent pool of workers that were previously harder to reach, which fosters diversity and inclusion. The white paper ‘Flexing your workforce’ takes a closer look at four ways in which organisations can flex their workforce.
