Organizational Design: Structure and Culture
What motivated me to start my own company is that I see lots of companies with great ideas and technology struggling with setting up an effective product innovation organization.
The vision of VAN APPEVEN | IDEA TO BUSINESS is that Organizational Design is a major driver to bring ideas to business fast. Apart from having great ideas and technology, setting up the right organization to foster innovation is crucial.

We specialize in bringing STRUCTURE to both the competency and program organization to foster innovation and break down those pesky silos. Plus, we know about cultivating the right CULTURE in the tech space, focusing on teams, leadership, and collaboration to get things done.
It is great to have seasoned experts in my network. These partners collaborate with me. As a result van Appeven | Idea to Business has an optimal blend of competences available to support you in your innovation journey.
