The partners
During the project we are assisted by various partners. In the first place, there is the user group. This group consists of several organizations. They provide the necessary advice to ensure the practical relevance of the project. The public policy advisory and preparatory organisations want to use the results to create an environment that stimulates companies to change strategically. The societal organisations want to use the insights to increase the effectiveness of their members in monitoring, advising and offering resources. Employer organizations want to use the insights to better educate their members about the barriers and drivers of strategic change. In addition, the FWO also provides funding for the project. Finally, we have the sounding board group, which consists of various family businesses. They assist us when we want to test the results in practice.
