Business Method Toolkit

Start and grow your own business. Develop a strategy and create impact with the Business Method Toolkit – a curated collection of more than 25 business methods perfect for lean, agile environments and multidisciplinary teams.

The methods divided into five categories build a fundamental knowledge to create a business. Indications on time, requirements and benefits to help plan and to chose the perfect method. Define a strategy, monitor impact and validate insights for your startup or existing business. 

The methods form a common language in multidisciplinary, multicultural teams and projects. Share, translate, document and validate insights. The toolkit inspires to think beyond the usual methods, it helps monitoring processes and makes them transparent. Detailed task descriptions help to divide and assign tasks between team members.
The Business method toolkit is available in printed and online versions.

Bandjes – Playful Learning

 

Teens with intellectual disabilities often need extra support in their daily activities. However, when they grow up and leave school they cannot rely any longer on others, such as teachers, mentors and peers to provide them with daily assistance. Bandjes is an educational game through which pupils in special needs education can develop valuable skills they struggle with regularly, like communication and collaboration, while exercising. The game offers a playful way to increase the level of self-reliance, by practicing social skills.
