What we believe in

Our way of working was invented a century ago. Back then, work consisted of individual, manual, repetitive labor in factories.

Today, we’re not standing next to an assembly line, but spend our time working with others, coming up with, analyzing, sharing and carrying out ideas.

Not our hands, but our minds are our tools. Yet, we still let century old principles dictate how we work today, resulting in today’s challenges.

We need a new way of working. One that puts humans first. Today, efficiency and effectiveness are not the result of ignoring our emotions, or just doing the work by yourself – they are the result of aligning work processes to human needs and behavior.

From fear to psychological safety, from monitoring to trusting and from ignoring to taking responsibility for emotions; This is what the modern way of human centered work looks like.

Let’s make working together work.

Our approach

How we make working together work in your organization, and how we make your employees and colleagues productive, engaged and happy.

1. Define
2. Prepare
3. Realize

Managing Director & Co-Founder at SPARK

"

“A correct reward system including salaries is a sensitive but very important topic for a fast growing company. Through multiple sessions, some with all employees, AVEC helped SPARK develop the start of a transparent, open remuneration system that suits a flat organization, respects our people and fits our culture.”

AVEC has a talent for creating a safe atmosphere in which it feels safe to share personal information. As a result, they know how to get to the heart of the behavior that opposes necessary change in order to achieve positive results. It enables organizations to work from their strengths.

"

Working with AVEC is an absolute joy. Their insights in teamwork and human behavior are simple to understand, even if you're 'new to all of it'. AVEC helped our Management Team define clear obstacles in our way of working, and more importantly, we learned ways to better connect as human beings.
