UMIO offers tailor-made programmes and development tracks for organisations and companies that want to grow strategically. Not a standard approach, but a tailor-made programme that is firmly rooted in your reality. That leads to real movement.

We develop and supervise programmes on leadership, cooperation, culture change and strategy implementation. Each programme is designed with and for your people, in line with your reality and ambitions.

Why do organisations and companies choose UMIO?

Our unique approach focuses on your practice, academic depth and practical applicability:

  • We start from your practice, not from standard models
  • We design with you, instead of imposing something on you
  • We combine academic depth with practical applicability
  • We work in a people-oriented and system-conscious way – with an eye for the broader context
  • We ensure impact, so that learning leads to movement and results

Who we work for

Our programmes are intended for:

  • Companies and institutions working on strategic or cultural change
  • Teams, departments or leaders who want to grow in their role or cooperation
  • HR and L&D managers looking for learning solutions with lasting impact
  • Boards and management teams looking to strengthen leadership

We work for commercial companies, public institutions, non-profit organisations and partnerships.

IMPACT: from insight to lasting change

At UMIO, we believe that learning only has real value when it contributes to sustainable change: in people, in teams and within the organisation. That is why we use the IMPACT model: a structured approach in six phases that ensures development with visible and lasting impact. This model helps us to be focused from start to finish on the impact we want to realise, at individual, organisational and societal level.

IMPACT stands for:

I – Inspect: We first listen carefully. In this first phase, we take the time to really get to know your organisation, people and context. What is going on? Where are the challenges? What dynamics determine behaviour and choices?

M – Measure: we measure the real learning needs. Together, we examine the development questions in the light of your strategic objectives. We use interviews, scans and existing data to get a clear picture.

P – Plan: We design a customised learning programme. In co-creation, we build a programme that matches your issues, ambition and culture. We combine insights from the organisation with our expertise in learning design and behavioural change.

A – Act: We implement the programme with powerful learning interventions. Implementation is active, personal and hands-on. We work with a mix of working methods. From master classes to coaching, from intervision to action learning projects, tailored to the learning objectives and the work.

C – Complete: We translate insights into action in the workplace. Learning does not stop at the last session. We ensure concrete translation of insights into behaviour and work situations, so that what has been learnt works in practice.

T – Test: We evaluate and reinforce the impact. We conclude with a joint reflection: what has been learned, changed and anchored? Via feedback loops and follow-up actions, we ensure that the results stick and the learning has a lasting effect.

Always tailor-made

Whether it concerns a leadership programme, team development, cultural change or strategy implementation: our approach is always tailor-made. Together, we design a learning programme that suits who you are, where you stand and what you want to achieve.
