What Trantgroep BV does

Trantgroep BV is a Dutch professional services firm headquartered in Apeldoorn, Netherlands, offering management consulting, organizational development, corporate training, coaching, and interim management services. The firm operates with a small team led by two self-employed founders, Otto Lolkema (creator of the KUIL® method, entrepreneur since the early 1990s) and Gerard Jorna (former operations and people manager). The business is built around the KUIL® method, a registered, scientifically validated behavioral training methodology grounded in Action Learning principles that focuses on attitude and behavioral development to surface hindering patterns and unlock individual and team functioning.

The service portfolio spans interim management, organizational development, individual development (including TrantCoaching via the Behavioral Analytical Model), and four academy formats: YourAcademy for individuals, Incompany Academy for single organizations, SharedAcademy for multi-organization cohorts, and Academy@work for teams. Trant serves Dutch organizations undergoing change (collaboration issues, cultural transitions, leadership pressure) and individual professionals seeking behavioral insight, with engagements custom-designed after an initial orienting conversation.

The firm operates on a consultative, sales-led go-to-market model with quote-based, multi-year project pricing that is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is entirely direct, with no intermediaries or digital channels, and all content is in Dutch with operations confined to the Netherlands. There are no disclosed revenue figures, no external funding, no institutional investors, and no M&A activity; the entity is a privately held BV (Dutch private limited company). A multi-year strategic partnership with Formorrow supports the Formorrow Academy program and represents the only named customer relationship in the source material.
