Welcome to Dennis van der Spoel Consulting.

The world of entrepreneurship with all its innovation and transformational change truly makes us tick. Ever since project management and organizational change became professions, studies show a failure rate between 50 and 70 percent. So, for over 25 years we have been working and experimenting until we uncovered ways to making innovation and change initiatives much more successful. Let us change the way you conduct your business. We specialize in portfolio management, digital transformations and lean-agile transitions.

​REALITY NEVER STICKS TO THE PLAN:
​Innovation Can Be Executed 4x Faster and Cheaper With 4x as Much Impact. Want to Find Out?

Results.

Alignment.

We don't write big reports, we like to visualize problems and solutions and keep it plain and simple. We focus on delivering sustainable change and competitive advantage. Our goal is to realize the greatest value in the shortest sustainable lead time while providing the highest possible quality to your customers and society as a whole. High morale, safety, and customer delight are added benefits.

Quality.

Without innovation, both product and process will steadily decline. But while the speed of innovation is important, we refuse to accept or deliver low-quality work. We support significant capacity allocation for maintenance and reduction of technical debt. This ensures that all concerns are part of the regular continuous flow of work.

Execution.

We actively take part in the execution. We adjust scope as necessary. And we celebrate high quality and program increments delivered on schedule. We aggressively remove impediments and demotivators, while respecting your people and culture. Relentless improvement encourages learning and growth through continuous reflection and process enhancements.

We keep our focus on the mission. This means establishing the strategy and vision and expressing them over and over again. We help organize the change and coordinate dependencies. We give relevant briefings and participate in planning. We help with visibility, reviews, and preparation, constantly checking for understanding. We visualize all relevant work.
​We take ownership and responsibility for errors and mistakes. We admit our own missteps while supporting others who acknowledge and learn from theirs. And we never punish the messenger. Instead, we celebrate success and learning.

Impact.

Over the years, we have found that senior management's championing of the change is crucial for success. To maximize our impact, we prefer working directly with senior leadership teams and turn them into role models of the change. 

Our ideal client, therefore, is an organization committed to the digital transformation and/or a lean-agile way of working. Our typical client employs over a 1,000 people and/or generates an annual revenue of over € 125M. Our clients experience that innovation can be executed 4x faster and cheaper with 4x as much impact.

To elevate humanity and create a world of abundance by leveraging entrepreneurship, innovation, and the heroic spirit of business.
