Every organisation faces tensions
When these remain unresolved, performance suffers:
Real leaders distinguish decisions from dilemmas. Then they move beyond either-or choices and even beyond both-and thinking to through-through reconciliations, in which each side strengthens the other.
When strategy isn't the problem
We're called when leaders have the right strategy, the right talent, and the right intent — and execution still stalls. Usually because cultuur is doing its quiet work.
Typical situations we're asked to help with:
- A strategy that won't translate into behaviour on the ground
- A merger or acquisition where cultural integration will make or break the deal
- A global operating model strained by local realities
- A leadership team that needs to move from alignment on slides to alignment in action
- A function — Sales, Marketing, Finance — underperforming across markets
If any of these look familiar, we should talk.
Wat we doen
How we turn cultuur into performance.
Every engagement starts with a tension that is eroding value.
We make it visible, work through it, and rewire the behaviours that keep reproducing it.
Creating performance
Where culture directly shapes growth, innovation, and value creation.
- Strategy & Culture Alignment — Making strategy deliver.
- Innovation Culture — Innovation that delivers.
- M&A Value Creation — Realising deal value.
Enabling performance
Building the leadership, diversity, and execution capability needed to deliver it.
- Leadership for Performance — Leading under complexity.
- Cross-Cultural Diversity — Diversity that delivers.
- Functional Performance — Performance where it matters most.
Our thinking
Riding the Waves of Culture, and everything that followed.
For 30+ years, THT co-founders Fons Trompenaars and Charles Hampden-Turner have led the research into what cultuur actually does to performance. The body of work includes Meedrijven op de golven van cultuur — named a Thinkers50 Management Classic and translated into more than 20 languages with 300,000+ copies sold — over 100 further publications, and proprietary models now used by leaders and institutions worldwide, including the 7 Dimensies van Cultuur and the 4R approach to dilemma reconciliation.
This is why we do what we do: to help organisations build stronger cultures, and to advance the broader understanding of culture itself through ongoing research, practical tools, and deep insight applied where it matters.
