Your organisationready for the future.

Duncan Borsboom

I help leadership teams steer change before it happens to them, with AI as the biggest driver. Strategy, structure and behaviour in one approach.

For boards, MTs and founders of companies that know something needs to change.

90 minutes. Then you know where you stand and what your first three steps are.

EU AI Act · Article 4
Mandatory.
AI literacy is no longer a choice, it is law.

Since 2 February 2025, organisations are legally required to ensure demonstrable AI literacy for all employees working with AI. The Dutch Data Protection Authority actively enforces this.

Half-life of skills
< 2.5 yrs
That is how long technical skills remain relevant on average.

The half-life of skills is falling fast. One training per year has long stopped being enough. Companies that do not invest structurally in development are quietly falling behind.

World Economic Forum · 2025
59%
Of the global workforce needs reskilling before 2030.

In 16 months, AI rose from the sixth to the most in-demand technological skill. The companies that start now will lead later.

Services

Four ways
I can help.

Depending on what your company needs, I deploy one or more of these services. Each works on its own. Combined, they reinforce each other.

Sparring partner

The outside voice that keeps you sharp.

Sometimes you do not need a full trajectory, but someone who looks over your shoulder, pushes back and sharpens your thinking. As a standing sparring partner I am available monthly to boards and founders for whom internal sounding boards are not enough. No agenda, no report, just thinking power.

What you'll get
  • Two fixed conversations per month (90 minutes)
  • Reachable in between for urgent questions
  • Market knowledge and an outside view without internal stakes
  • Review after three months: go deeper or wrap up

Foresight & Scenarios

One session. A clear picture of what is coming your way.

I guide boards and management teams in sharpening their view of what is coming, what it means for their business, and what they can do about it today. No crystal ball, but scenarios you can act on now.

What you'll get
  • Scenario workshopTrends, signals and uncertainties translated into concrete future scenarios for your business
  • Action plan & roadmapWhat you do now, what you prepare, what you let go
  • Long-term guidanceSo you stay sharp on what is moving

Organisation & Structure

Clarity on who does what, now that roles themselves are shifting.

Growing organisations get stuck on unclear roles, founders in the wrong position, or a structure that cannot carry the next phase. AI accelerates that: fixed jobs give way to roles that are still taking shape. Drawing on my background as People Director, I help you get a grip on it.

What you'll get
  • DiagnosisWhere it gets stuck and why
  • A role structure that moves with youTracking what AI takes over and what it makes heavier
  • Organisational structure that fits your current phase
  • Talent developmentFrom potential to performance

Tailored learning trajectories

Within 12 weeks your whole team works smart with AI.

Most companies do not need another AI training, they want their team working with it tomorrow. Not everyone has to learn the same thing: those pulling the cart on the floor get depth, leadership gets its own track to set the course.

What you'll get
  • Diagnosis & proposal90 minutes, concrete proposal with planning
  • Learning paths per role area12 weeks per programme, the whole team moving, not just the front-runners
  • A guidance layerColleagues who lead the way and bring others along
  • A deeper track for leadershipFrom going along to setting the course
  • Buddy structure and management dashboard
  • Compliance assurance for the EU AI Act

Approach

Quick insight.
Concrete steps.

01

Future Diagnosis

One conversation in which we examine the situation: what is going on, what is most urgent, where is the brake. Beforehand you answer five short questions, so we can go straight to the point.

90 min · then you know where you stand and what the first steps are
02

Deep-dive conversation

I ask sharp questions, connect the dots and play back what I hear. The more I understand the situation, the more concrete I can be. This conversation goes deep.

Surfacing the real question
03

Direction & proposal

No thick report, but a clearly priced proposal and a clear direction. Go or no-go in one conversation, so you do not wait for insight, you get moving.

About me

I know it,
inside out.

The future remains human.

Duncan Borsboom
15+
years inside the agency world
150+
employees under people direction

Built multiple agencies, from DBOM and Online Koplopers to Endeavour. As co-founder I built the People organisation from the ground up and led the company through rapid scaling.

What it feels like when everything has to happen at once, when the market moves and leadership doesn't know which way to go? I know it. That exact situation is where I recognise myself most, and where I add the most value.

Looking ahead as a choice, not an obligation. The leadership teams that understand this are the ones I most enjoy working with. Usually companies between 10 and 300 employees, across a range of sectors.

Strategic and hands-on: I think along at board level and know what it means for today's workfloor
People expertise: I understand how people change, and how they sometimes don't
Strong network: for what I don't do myself, I bring in the right experts
Partners

We direct.
Partners deliver.

Based on the diagnosis I bring in the right partners. Each is a specialist in their domain; I make sure everything comes together in one coherent approach.

Strategic Foresight

Foresight sessions and scenario planning for boards that want to look beyond tomorrow.

Behavioural Change

Learning paths per role area, 12 weeks per programme, structural behavioural change.

HR & Organisation

Role structure, organisation and talent development, based on a proprietary approach.

AI Transformation

AI implementation in your work processes, from roadmap to daily workflow.

Management Training

Training for the people who need to lead your business, so you as an entrepreneur can work on your business instead of in it.

Brand & Positioning

Brand and positioning questions for companies that internally know what they want to be.
