with proven methods and authentic approach”.

“A very inspiring process!

The dialogue and the process with Peter Olyslager helped me significantly to formulate the well-founded strategic choices.

The provided methodology stimulates creativity (3D model). Internal and external factors are analysed and evaluated.

Strategic options are tested, weighed and evaluated from different perspectives.

In short, a complete, concrete and robust method which is permanently applicable for both ‘for profit’ and ‘not for profit’ companies and organisations”.

Maarten Verboom, Managing Director Dedicon (not for profit company)

‘Peter Olyslager has written ”legacy”. More than 3 years ago we started to work with PJ Strategy and we still make use of the insights and especially the strategic fundament created during an excellent partnership for nearly one year. A clear transition has arisen.’

”The PJ Strategy Academy has a very complete, robust and creative process”. ”I really enjoyed this academy and it was a pleasure and insightful to work with Jeroen van Velzen and Peter Olyslager”.

Gaby van Otterdijk, Vice President EMEA Gartner – Academy Member 2018

’PJ Strategy enabled us to get into a real strategy process instead of a strategy project. This takes longer, but created the impact needed.

Next to that PJ Strategy could get us into a structural strategic discussion where we created many different strategic growth perspectives we needed to reach our very ambitious objectives.

The strategic structure PJ Strategy anchored in our organisation helps us significantly to reach the strategic efficiency needed.’

Kees Broeren, Process Owner & CSO Polyscope (ex-DSM company)

”Unconventional, pragmatic, enjoyable. It gets the best out of organisations”

Frits Mehrtens, Managing Director and Entrepreneur - Academy Member 2015

’PJ Strategy puts a lot of strategic marketing and logic thinking into the process, but the most valuable for me was the psychological aspect. Finding out our own competences and more important our real interests/passions and why, how and where to be successful was a real eye-opener. Every company and everyone has interesting strengths, but specific skills are needed to apply these into the right direction.’

Guus Mijnlieff, CEO & Founder NHB Financial Services

’The beginning of the process was hard work as PJ Strategy involved our people intensively. But as a result of the structure, strategy knowledge and the bottom-up approach the team process gave us new energy and different opportunities for the coming years. In these challenging economic times we would definitely recommend PJ Strategy.’

J. Dietz, CEO Recruit a Student

”A serious level of strategic skills, knowledge and experience is needed to be successful in this academy, to see the impact at a company through the different thinking and tools”.

Andre Amaral Pinto, Head of Global Strategic Marketing Nokia - Academy Member 2014
