We help you be WIJS.
CLEAR THINKING FOR COMPLEX TIMES
Bold Growth
Human Centered Advisory and Think Tank Practice
Dutch-American clarity for leaders, organizations and regions shaping the future.
WIJS is a Dutch-American human centered advisory and think tank firm based in the American South.
We apply the COM framework to identify and redesign the hidden conditions that shape human capacity, organizational performance and regional economic strength.
Our focus is on addressing the underlying structures that determine whether people and systems can think clearly, act coherently and outperform their circumstances.
No fluff, no worksheets, just big, clear thinking in service of bold growth.
The WIJS Elements
RUIMTE : Space to think without pressure or noise.
KERN : Essence. The core beneath the clutter. No detours.
ZICHT : Clean sight. A trajectory you can trust. Long range.
WHO WIJS SERVES
WIJS works with people and systems operating at altitude.
Leaders | Teams | Organizations | Economic development groups | Chambers | Transatlantic partners | Regional innovation initiatives | Diplomats
Clients come to WIJS when they need:
clarity in complexity
structural insight into human dynamics
long-range strategy
cultural and organizational alignment
conditions that support high cognitive capacity
thinking space outside pressure and performance
WIJS is not coaching.
It is strategic advisory grounded in human design.
WIJS gives you the conditions and intelligence needed to make high consequence decisions with clarity in complex environments, cultural, organizational or economic.
What WIJS Does
Clarity for Systems That Shape Lives and Outcomes
WIJS helps leaders and institutions work at the level where decisions have lasting impact. Not at the surface where symptoms appear, but at the structural level where conditions are created.
We advise on:
• Leadership and organizational clarity
• Conditions that suppress or unlock human capacity
• Long-range planning and system alignment
• Human centered economic development
• Cross-cultural and transatlantic strategy
• COM-based structural redesign and decision making
WIJS is where complex problems become workable and long-range direction becomes coherent.
Why WIJS Exists
Most leaders carry decisions that impact livelihoods, futures and complex systems. Yet they work in environments that keep them in performance mode. There is no space to think clearly. No conditions for orientation. No place where the mind can stretch out and see the full picture. WIJS creates those conditions.
YOU DESERVE SUPPORT THAT IS DEDICATED TO YOUR BOLD GROWTH, YOUR POWER, AND YOUR SANITY
If you work hard, think deeply, and operate at altitude, life gets hectic quick. Who do you reach out to when things get dicey? Where do you go to think big? We walk you through eyes of storms & seas of change. Whatever you face, having the right people and the right space to keep your flame alight can make all the difference.

Alignment for Hardworking Teams
At Space to Think Lab
You’ve got the right people, what’s next? Are they fully in the trenches? Sense hidden conflicts, but not sure what? You are probably right. They feel it too. And it sucks for everyone. Let’s solve the root cause.
You get a day full of experiential learning that sticks. No slide decks and worksheets; just old skool, hands on, boots on the ground learning. That’s what nervous systems need to get to the core. WIJS works deep and uncovers what’s been rotting, so your team can stop holding their breath, and focus on moving forward again. No more delays. Your team needs this.
Strategic Gatherings
Long Game Multi Level Partnership
Strategic Alignment
You operate at high altitude but miss a sparring partner who thinks at your speed and speaks your language. It’s exhausting sometimes. Let’s get your people aligned again, before dumpster fires ignite.
You work hard to leave a mark that matters, for yourself and your people. You deserve someone who gets you and helps you move mountains that matter. No gimmicks, no fluff, no nonsense. A system that works. You grow. Your people grow. You speak the same language, finally. You are back on the innovative track. Clients say after working with us, everything changed for the better. You can too.
Make it matter.
It starts with an idea. A business you want to build. A market you want to shift. An innovation that could change how things are done. For some, it’s a company. For others, a deal, a case, or a move that carries weight. What matters is how you navigate it.
You need space to think, off the record, with a partner who can follow your mind path, think at your level, and understands where you're headed.
That’s where real clarity and strategic firepower take shape — quietly at first, then ready when it counts. Make it matter.
