Organization development is tailored to your needs
No organization is the same. Successful development therefore requires an approach that respects your unique context, culture, and goals. We do not believe in standard programs. For every organization, our experts create a tailored program based on our building blocks and the InnovatieCirkel©.
With this, our experts guide organizations in gaining clarity on why change is needed, what is required, and how to effectively and sustainably manage it.
Developing with depth
At Nine Wisdoms, we look beyond behavior, roles, or structures. We believe true organizational development begins when you understand why things work or stall — and how personalities, patterns, and culture collectively shape your organization’s direction.This sets us apart from standard models and superficial surveys: we don’t settle for colors or labels but focus on the deeper drivers that enable movement and change.
The InnovatieCircle©
The InnovatieCircle© is at the heart of our approach. This model (developed by Albert Kamphuis) links the change process to personality preferences.The model consists of 5 phases:
0 - Awareness
1 - Positioning
2 - Setting the course
3 - Moving into action
4 - Staying on course
Which interventions, adjustments, or development steps help transform insight into sustainable action?
By moving through this circle together with you, we design an approach tailored to your specific needs and ambitions.
Our building blocks
To shape the tailored program, we work with a set of proven building blocks. Depending on your situation, we combine the following:- EnneaGuide → personality and behavioral profiles of leaders and employees
- EnneaTeam → mapping and discussing team dynamics
- Keyseat analysis → identifying key positions and culture shapers
- EnneaSocio → revealing network structures and informal lines
- Management and executive coaching → targeted guidance for leaders in their role and impact
- Workshops and leadership sessions → translating insights into practical actions
- Reflection and follow-up moments → anchoring and deepening implementation
These building blocks are not standalone products but parts of an integrated approach, tailored to what your organization truly needs.
Grounded in theory and practice
Our approach is built on experience and proven insights from leadership, organizational development, and behavioral science. We combine theory and practice to help organizations not only change but also strengthen sustainably.
A selection of models we use:
- Jim Collins (Good to Great and Level 5 Leadership) — discipline, leadership, culture, and placing the right people in the right roles
- Fred Kiel (Return on Character) — the impact of character development on leadership and organizational performance leiderschap en organisatieprestaties.
- Patrick Lencioni (The Five Dysfunctions of a Team) — keys to effective teams and breaking down collaboration barriers
- Rittel & Webber (Wicked Problems) — managing complex, persistent issues with no simple solutions
- Lewin’s Three-Stage Model — understanding how change works: unfreeze, change, refreeze
- Kode360 Model (website) — an analytical model to map hard organizational factors (process, finance, market)
By combining these theoretical foundations with our building blocks and the InnovatieCirkel©, we create solutions that not only fit today’s context but also address tomorrow’s challenges.
