FUTURE PROOF INFRASTRUCTURE BUILDERS

A lot of challenges lie ahead of us to (re)design our core infrastructure to tackle the challenges of climate change, demographic boost and migration, international political unrest, etc.

Therefore, we work with companies who aim to unlock their full potential in areas like construction, mobility, energy, aviation & aerospace, etc.

STORY: FLUX 50

FLUX 50 is a Belgian innovation ecosystem focusing on the energy transition and supporting cross sector collaboration between Energy, IT and construction companies.

In 2021, we helped them to redefine Flux 50’s positioning and strategy, to develop a business plan and a clear organizational lay-out. Due to this exercise where the whole team was involved in the workshops, a new drive to grow the membership and the amount and impact of the projects has been found.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES PARTNERS

Professional services companies are often founded by experts in their field. After the launch and the first successes in their own network, they discover the opportunity and the drive to grow the company. But to capture that growth new skills and different ways of working are needed: a game-changing vision, a people-focused leadership style, and a customer-centric organization are needed to catalyze deep transformation.

Customers in this field are active in legal and finance, communication, HR, organization, management support, etc.

STORY: BILLYCOM

Billycom is a fast growing content studio in Leuven. The company was founded as a copywriting studio, but evolved over time to add new skills and abilities to the client offering.

In 2022 Billycom reached an important milestone when they were hiring their 10th employee. At this point, they understood that things needed to change: a management structure, clear positioning and a continuous offering needed to be developed. Therefore, they reached out to Wodan & Co.

LEARNING ORGANISATIONS

As the world around us is in continuous change, we constantly need to adapt to a new and different reality. What got us through to Yesterday may not be relevant anymore Tomorrow. Throughout our careers we need to develop the openness and capabilities to permanently absorb new skills, behaviors, knowledge, and technologies.

We guide companies that are active in the field of training. Next to that, we also act as trainer performing in company trainings, lecturer in colleges and universities or coach for business networks.

STORY: NOA TRAININGS

The Turnhout based training company Noa Trainings specializes in safety and security trainings for construction and logistics companies. After building a business plan together, we were asked to help the company implementing the plan. We stood up, first as operational manager, later on as general manager to help structuring the organization, boosting the commercial results and preparing the company for the future. With a +30% growth in sales after one year in a very competitive market the first steps look promising. Let’s continue on this path.

HOSPITALITY & RETAIL COMPANIES

After the shock of the COVID pandemic, a lot of entrepreneurs in the Hospitality & Retail sector need to reinvent themselves. What will be the future of my business? And how will I protect my business when a similar incident happens in future? How do I make sure I have alternative income streams to rely on?

We work with ambitious players that want to extend their reach in these difficult and sometimes underestimated sectors.

STORY: HARTICHOC

When the pandemic hit, we were developing a new business plan with the Milis sisters to relaunch their fathers’ old catering company. After two years of waiting and planning, finally we could take off in 2022. It has been a blast: from nowhere to EUR +1mio in revenue in one year! What an achievement! But, this success came with a lot of challenges: hiring people, organizing the team, developing management skills, finding new locations, etc. We are coaching and guiding and helping the Hartichoc team as much as we can.

SUSTAINABLE PRODUCT DEVELOPERS

To tackle the global challenges and reinvent these as sustainable development opportunities, new products and solutions need to be ideated, developed and launched. No society, economy or industry across the globe is excused from the need to look for more sustainable and circular alternatives.

STORY: EAUZON

Eauzon is a company based in Ostend. They developed the recycled plastic based construction panels Repeat. With these panel they build sustainable and circular ‘wet rooms’ for hotels, housing cooperatives and other facilities.
