IMPACT STORIES
Over the past years, we have engaged in many productive partnerships with client organisations in the region and around the world, active in either the private sector or the public domain.
Instead of taking our word for it, listen to what our clients have to say about their experiences with customised learning journeys at UMIO.
STICHTING KINDANTE
Stichting Kindante provides primary education in the municipalities of Beek, Beekdaelen, Echt-Susteren, Sittard-Geleen and Stein (Province of Limburg, Netherlands). Collectively, the Kindante schools have almost 9,000 pupils. Kindante’s headquarters are based in Sittard.
The transformation that primary education has gone through in the past decade creates complex challenges. With this leadership trajectory, we give an impulse to the ambitions of Stichting Kindante and increase the impact of school leaders so they will be the ones who ultimately can make a difference!
VALID
In the last 20 years, Valid has grown into an experienced cloud solutions and outsourcing service provider offering complete solutions from solid IT infrastructures to advanced and reliable tailor-made and data-driven applications.
Together with Valid, UMIO designed a customised trajectory that combined management and leadership development with tools that enable growth of their innovation capacity.
PROVINCE OF LIMBURG
Being the Netherlands’ one-but-youngest province and a truly European region, Limburg has a distinctive profile. The socio-economical developments that took place in the past decades ignited a process of change and innovation.
Together with the Province of Limburg, UMIO created a customised learning journey that combined the topics of digitisation, technology, sustainability, labour market, education, leadership, and stakeholder policy to train their staff to better navigate tomorrow’s challenges.
PURATOS
The Puratos Group is an international company with its headquarters based in Belgium. Puratos is a full-fledges portfolio of innovative products and solutions for the bakery and chocolate industry. Their products and services are being sold across 100 countries and are often being produced in local stores.
Puratos partnered with UMIO to navigate their challenges around the commoditisation of their products. Together we created a unique programme based on the concept of ‘servitisation’ to help build a future-proof business model that includes higher levels of innovation and customer-driven strategies.
PROVINCE OF LIMBURG
Limburg is in full development and the Province of Limburg has an important connecting role in facilitating this progress. This places a great responsibility on the leaders of the Province of Limburg. Whether the province can successfully shape its role in this development largely depends on how these leaders facilitate each other and their employees in this.
Together with the Province of Limburg, UMIO has developed a leadership development programme aimed at shaping the individual and collective competences required for this.
“The outcomes of the collaboration with UMIO’s Service Science Factory are sustainable. We created a new mind-set which is not going away. This will be here to stay!”
