Hello Friends!

We, as Franzen/partners, develop and execute

Management Development Program's (MDP's). ® We train change agents in The Change Express

and of course we do research and business

development. That's what we do in India and The

Netherlands with more than 30 years of

experience. We intervene at all levels, from

expansion to mergers, increasing productivity to

enhancing quality, or the softer issues like

efficiency and motivation. The key is

empowerment. We ensure that people reach their

goal in a smooth and meaningful way. We

collaborate with professionals part of our

international network.

Business is all about people

People like you and me. As you know, we deal

with real-life change every single day. Think of

change like expansion, new businesses,

partnerships or cross-cultural challenges. Or

think of empowering professionals,

communicating more effectively or reducing the

lead time of innovation. We all are aware that

these changes can only be done by people. By

you and me.

Gearing up in Oil and Gas

As one of our clients in the Oil and Gas sector

faced recently: how to gear up for the future

keeping in mind anticipating cultural differences

and empowering of their professionals with the

feeling of ownership? After we guided them to

'the next level' they took over another global

colleague and managed their new change

independently. 'We have learned from you guys the do's

and don'ts of managing change just in time'. In a fun

and engaging way, they experienced the challenge

of preparing themselves for the future in a

structured manner.

How did we, as Franzen/partners, guide this

process?

By taking the role of a consultant, a director, a

coach, or a corporate trainer we guide the

process of change into a company's mantra. That

means, you create the transformation as we

prepare you to anticipate what lies ahead. But

also we guide you how to implement the change

effectively to the core of your organization. You

will find yourself making choices that improve

your skills. Choose, focus and decide!

Our services include a professional toolkit The ®Change Express that will give you the

opportunity to manage your next change.

Professionalism, combined with a personal touch

and a highly efficient outcome, is what we aim

for. Obviously it's for sure that a new change is

awaiting you.

®The Change Express

®The Change Express is a comprehensive

toolkit, consisting of workbooks, guidelines,

management games, and E-learning (App). It

provides organizations with the boost required to

manage their way forward.

Everyone knows that change is more than just

about jumping from one situation to another.

We, as Franzen/partners, have developed a

methodology that implements change in a

structured and customized manner. Customized

to the needs of the individual, the company and

their goals. And it makes sense!

Next level

Look at a retail company being eager to change

its strategy focus from India to Asia-Pacific

involving 150 professionals and managers. While

guiding the process of high performance growth

and sustainability, this company experienced the ®added value of The Change Express . Various

parts of this toolkit are now fully integrated into

their day-to-day business. We facilitated their

journey in uncovering their hidden talents,

improving leadership skills, enhancing team spirit

and flexible mindset. They achieved their next

level. Business cases in- and outside their sector,

developing roadmaps and new scenarios were

essential parts of the training program. These

gained 'change' skills remain with us for life.

Our inspiration

You must be able to recognize the mentioned

challenges faced by different organizations.

Especially when you look beyond the

organization at the people within. People with

dreams and ambitions working together towards

a common goal. That is the essence – to look

beyond and realize that professionals and leaders

collaborate in order to reach 'that very next level'

no matter what it takes. The ability to achieve

goals together, to make dreams come true and to

be able to withstand stormy weather. The

inspiration comes from the speed with which

change or innovation takes place. It is inspiring to

witness the will to survive or to expand. It is

inspiring to see ability to take risks, making

decisions a little too fast just to take the lead.

Entrepreneurship, facing pressure to stay ahead,

and courage inspires.

We love to see many smiling faces

Continuous learning is our right to exist

Nine hospitals led by a passionate family of

ophthalmologists truly desired to improve the

quality of service between doctor and patient.

From our perspective, the quality level was

already on the higher side, however, the

management insisted on even higher standards.

As they say, 'Continuous learning is our right to exist'.

In collaboration with the medical staff, we took

up the challenge and effectively tackled the issue.

The development program used surveys,

trainings, and tools focusing upon sustainable

learning, working and execution. Through train-

the-trainer sessions they have now integrated the

progress achieved because of quality

improvements into the Planning & Control-cycle

of all hospitals.

Introspect. Think. Act.

Footprint

change. With our empirical knowledge and the ®toolkit, The Change Express offers pragmatic
