AVEC
Work better. Together.
Bold ambitions. Talented people. But somehow, the results don’t match the potential.An organization is nothing more than a group of people working together toward a shared goal. Everything you're trying to achieve, depends on how well those people work together.We are AVEC. We help organizations achieve great things. Together.
Trusted by
Collaboration that turns ambition into results.
Lack of ownership. Silos. Friction in the team. Different symptoms rooted in the same problem: the way people collaborate.You can have the best strategy, the sharpest KPIs, and the newest systems. Your success still stands or falls on how well people work together.When the basics are in place, of safety and trust, clear expectations and good communication, a leadership team will move as one, people will take ownership without being asked. And results will follow.
Our focus
Whatever you're trying to achieve, it's your people who have to make it happen. So we don't just look at the people. We look at your whole organization, through the eyes of the people who actually have to make it work.Strategy, values, behavior, structure: we put your people at the center and connect all of it back to them. That's why we're the missing link between ambition and execution.A strategy people don't believe in leads nowhere. Values imposed on them won't be lived. And a structure works only when it helps people do their best work, not when it gets in their way.With us, you get honesty. We'll challenge you when needed and show you what you might not see yourself. Always with one goal: to move you forward.Our guidance is clear, practical, and human. Don't expect thick reports, but results you can see right away, that last long after we've gone.
Where we usually come in
I want my people to take more ownership.
We have a strategy. It's just not happening.
I want to get my leadership team on the same page.
My leadership team needs to step up.
We have core values, but nobody lives them.
My organization is merging with another.
Our approach
Change takes time. So we stay close, over a longer period and work with you on three levels at once.You, at the top. A sparring partner on leadership, collaboration and whatever is happening in your organization.Your leadership team. So they lead as one, with confidence and connection.Your organization. So your people take ownership, stay motivated and work better together.
Together with our AVEC–hotline. The moments that matter, rarely happen in a scheduled session. When something can't wait, just call.
"Marc and Merlijn supported SnappCar at every level: our leadership team, organization-wide and sparring individually. They sense what's really going on in a team and adapt accordingly. Very different in style, and precisely because of that, strongly complementary – a combination that moved us forward."
Victor van Tol
– CEO at SnappCar
“With a two-day offsite, AVEC aligned our team of Directors on the vision, strategy and way of working. It created clarity, made everyone take ownership of the path forward, and gave our startup the strong foundation it needs to succeed."
Jasper Goossen
– Co-CEO at Showpower Global
"Merging two companies is paperwork, turning them into one team is something else. AVEC helped us do the latter. Their hotline was crucial, because I always had someone to spar with, on moments that matter in-between sessions and meetings."
