"Busy schedules and short deadlines often drive us away from properly coaching and developing staff, and setting them clear objectives. Jan's business and executive management experience allows him to connect easily and drive through a process for corrective behaviour. A no-nonsense straight shooting approach that really wakes you up. Thanks Jan!"

Managing Director Strategy Euroclear

“Jan guides me as I move to a higher management complexity level geared at making a difference in the long term." The approach not only confronts me with interesting assignments based on a number of genuine cases, prompting me to achieve success; carrying them out is also extremely motivating! I can compare my evolution to discovering a new territory to explore. To put it more playfully: I am like a short-sighted person who has just come out of successful laser surgery."
Chantal Haeck
Director Operations Athlon Car Lease

“To me, Jan was and is both a coach and a mentor, who inspires and motivates me again and again to optimise my contributions when doing business or cooperating with people, even in my family life.
My description of Jan’s coaching abilities is that he listens unconditionally, offers an appropriate theoretical framework build on great expertise, supports me in using this framework when dealing with practical problems, challenges me to think and act in a much broader sense than standard expectations, illicit creativity, participates while being target-oriented and committed. In one word he is “DIFFERENT”. Jan has certainly played an important part in the achievement of my own potential. Thanks, Jan!"

The Vertical Dimension. Blueprint to Align Business and Organizational Development.

Authored by Jan De Visch, this insightful book is about organizational development and puts forward a leading-edge theory on the critical thinking and essential processes that lead to organizational success. The book’s focus is on companies that aim to provide consistently superior returns for stakeholders—in other words, organizations that have a mandate to create stakeholder value. Jan De Visch brilliantly takes what is essentially an “integral” perspective. He critiques current and widely accepted approaches to talent management that exist within firms as an isolated discipline, separate and distinct, from other organizational systems. In essence, he advocates an integrated approach that clearly aligns business strategy, organizational structure, and the development and leverage of human and knowledge capital.

Helping individuals wherever they are on their continuum of growth

Connect & Transform’s point of departure is that a leader’s success depends not only on the proverbial what they do and how they do it. Leading edge thinking asserts that a leader’s success principally depends on their inner state of awareness of how they:
 Create reality
 See relevant contexts
 Recognize and disclose emerging changes
 Connect the relevant dots, and
 Facilitate a transformational process.
This is their frame of reference for managing the current business, anticipating future needs and models, and creating future value. Our coaching methods are built on state-of-the-art findings in cognitive developmental sciences, translated into clear transition paths between different leadership landscapes.

All coaching starts with an integrated self-assessment (D.E.S.T.I.N.Y – method™ – see download). The process successfully brings specific developmental challenges in relationship with increasing the accountability levels in current or possible future roles, leading to an increase in leadership effectiveness.
