BdB Bouw | BdB Groep

What BdB Bouw | BdB Groep does

BdB Groep (formerly Bureau de Bont), founded in 1991 and headquartered in Amersfoort, Netherlands, is a privately held organization development consultancy serving Dutch enterprises in the construction (BdB Bouw), healthcare (BdB Zorg), and energy & water (BdB Energie & Water) sectors, with an emerging government (BdB Overheid) practice. The firm employs approximately 40 academically trained consultants (Organisatieontwikkelaars) who deliver three intertwined service lines: consulting and interim roles (performance improvement, quality/management systems, safety culture, sustainability transformation, project leadership); structured training programs and learning journeys (leergangen) priced per participant (€380–€6,950 excl. BTW, with coaching add-ons up to €3,000); and inspiration sessions, workshops, and community events.

The core technology is not software but a portfolio of proprietary consulting methodologies and IP assets: the Triple-S method (Samen, Slimmer, Sneller) for energy/water chain acceleration, Waarderend Auditeren (appreciative auditing), Viraal Veranderen (viral change management), the Periodieke Project Monitor (PPM), the 5-stappenmodel Escapegame, and the BdB Kenniscommunity/BdB Tool knowledge platform. The firm is certified to NEN-EN-ISO 9001 and registered with CRKBO.

BdB's go-to-market is enterprise field sales through sector-specialist consultants, supported by thought-leadership content, inspiration sessions, LinkedIn presence across three sector-specific pages, and the BdB Kenniscommunity. All engagements are delivered via direct consulting (on-site or at BdB Huis in Amersfoort) or in-company customized programs; there is no software or digital self-serve offering. Revenue mechanics are professional-services based: quote-based consulting engagements combined with publicly priced training programs. Named clients include LUMC, Canisius Wilhelmina Ziekenhuis, Omring, Pantein, Ipse de Bruggen, Enver, AxionContinu, Argos Zorggroep, Tante Louise, Surplus, Stichting Siza, BrabantZorg, and Revant, indicating a roster of mid-to-large Dutch healthcare providers plus construction-sector relationships via Sweegers en de Bruijn, Kuijpers, Siemens, Hoppenbrouwers, and Valstar Simonis for the Leergang Installatiestrateeg.
