Our curated gems

No matter how corporate our business is, we are convinced that there is, even must be, always room for some true, good brain food.

On this page we will share with you the gems that inspire us, feed our thoughts and make us happy to be alive. Many of our clients brighten our minds with the most innovative ideas, concepts and products. They all share an immense believe in the future, in a better future. But they also all share an open mind, a vision on how a wide variety of influences can only help them look at the problems they try to solve, in a better, more efficient and more human-centric way.

We wish you all, a very good, inspired day.

Because lists are easy: our favourites!

Books (non-fiction)

We love to learn, to be inspired by ideas, visions and insights. Therefore we will give you a few of the books we highly recommend in the non-fiction category. In no way this is meant to be an absolute list, but rather a sneak preview into what we like. We’ll try to keep this updated regularly, but also to publish more extensive reviews on each book. So, more to come!

Books (management)

We’re not fans of management books. Really not. Most of them use way too many words to describe common truths with half-true anecdotes. But some books have it all. This selection brings together such books. Some written as management books, others not at all, but they contain the wisdom needed to grow as an entrepreneur. Always with a focus on our three basic ingredients: People, Process & Culture.

Books (fiction)

If our founder Bert ever have to spend time alone, wherever in the world and in whatever situation, these are the books he’ll read and read again to envelop himself with the warmth of their magnificent writing. Do not hesitate for a second: read these books now.

Podcasts (non-fiction)

Podcasts are like small boxes of chocolates. They allow us to get an in-depth taste of a subject without having to read all about it, or even before publication. True behind-the-screens, giving us the opportunity to meet with authors, researchers and witnesses.
