Collaboration that turns ambition into results.
Endless meetings without action, passive employees, and silos across the organization. Despite a clear strategy and shared ambition, execution is challenging. Ownership is lacking, and there is just too much friction.What's going wrong is collaboration. Too often we forget that an organization is essentially nothing more than a group of people working together toward a goal.AVEC helps organizations achieve better results by making collaboration stronger, clearer, and more human. We are the missing link between strategy and execution. Between where you want to go and how you get there.
Who we work with
For leaders who know that their ambitions will only succeed if their people work together: founders, directors, management, team leaders. For HR who want to strengthen culture and leadership. And for those who are responsible for the performance of others and feel that things can be better, must be better, and deserve to be better.
What we focus on
Results are not determined by yet another structure, yet another roadmap, or yet another set of KPIs. They are determined by how people work together. For that, the foundation must be right: knowing who you are and where you are going. Trust and security. Clear expectations. Good communication.From that foundation, ownership emerges, the strategy comes to life, and people start moving. That's how we build teams that are willing and able to make it happen together. Because when the collaboration is right, the results will follow naturally.
How we work
Our guidance is clear, practical, and people-oriented. We combine hard and soft at the same time. We work with you, not for you, and we peel away layer after layer until the core becomes visible. We bring clarity to what is going on and why things are getting stuck. We expose what is not being said. We make agreements that actually work. We build rhythm into our daily collaboration.No thick reports, but immediate results that last – even long after we have left.Work better. Together.
“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
"Thanks to just a few sessions with AVEC, our team became the highest-performing team in the organization. Three years later, we’re still using the tools they gave us to work better together every day.”
Michiel Wolters
– Creative Director at Boomerang Agency
“AVEC has a talent for creating a safe environment. As a result, they know how to get to the heart of the behaviour that opposes necessary change. This enables organizations to work from their strengths.”

Zo werkt de mens
Ruim honderd jaar geleden stond de eerste mens aan de lopende band. Sindsdien is ons werk fundamenteel veranderd, maar de manier waarop we werken niet. Het is tijd voor een nieuwe aanpak van samenwerken, met oog voor wie we écht zijn: mensen met behoeften en emoties.
