TEN HAVE Change Management

What TEN HAVE Change Management does

TEN HAVE Change Management B.V. is a privately held Dutch boutique consulting firm founded in 2004 in Utrecht by Wouter ten Have, Steven ten Have, Ton Speet, and Maria Sturm. The firm specializes in change management and organizational advisory, serving executive leadership (boards, C-Suite, directors) across healthcare, education, energy, professional services, non-profit, trade union, and sport sectors in the Netherlands. Its portfolio spans five interconnected expertise areas — Change, Strategy, Structure and Governance, Leadership, and Behavior and Culture — delivered through bespoke advisory engagements, interim program management, training interventions, and assessment tools built around proprietary methodologies such as the Veranderkrachtmodel, Verandercanvas, Veranderkrachtkleed, Organisatiekracht, and Strategiecanvas.

The firm's intellectual property rests on an evidence-based methodology that integrates scientific research with practical consulting, supported by 21 published books, an academic research agenda, and deep university partnerships. Ten Have co-delivers the Executive Master in Change Management at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, where both founding partners hold professorships, and is a founding partner of the Center for Evidence-Based Management. Its 30+ professionals combine business administration and psychology backgrounds, and the firm has sustained anchor relationships of 10 to 20+ years with clients including Alliander, Forvis Mazars, KNHB, and multiple hospital systems.

Commercially, TEN HAVE operates a professional services model with quote-based daily rates, multi-year contracts, and an effort-obligation standard. It runs no external funding rounds and remains founder-owned. Distribution is driven primarily by thought leadership via the Inspiration Hub, university lectures, and pro bono work with societal organizations such as KNHB, KNSB, NOC*NSF, VluchtelingenWerk Nederland, and the Dutch Red Cross. No public revenue, AI products, or expansion beyond the Dutch market are disclosed.
