The story

The story of The Next Organization

Elrik Paap and Steije Renes worked at EY for years, both in consultancy. On a long journey to a client they had all the room they needed to think together. They saw how digitalisation and changing customer behaviour were reshaping business models, and how companies struggled to move with them. They want to help companies facing these challenges.

Along the way they laid the first building blocks for what would eventually become ‘The Next Organization’. Our ambition: improving the commercial performance of organisations with innovative, sustainable business models.

Our vision

How we see the world

Commercial success is within reach. You get there by spotting opportunities and making the most of them, and we are glad to help with that. Technological development, changing customer behaviour and trends offer plenty of room to grow. Organisations therefore have to keep redefining their role for customers, because the market keeps moving.

As an international management consultancy we stand for innovation, decisiveness and a healthy dose of fun. That is how we put our expertise to work: giving organisations clear-sighted advice, future-oriented solutions and personalised training. The mission of The Next Organization? Taking your business a step further.
