We believe in the power of every individual.
We believe organisations excel when people are able to truly contribute with their knowledge, expertise and passion in a safe environment.
We create a goal and a path to make sure you are heading in the right direction.
We offer:
1. Strategy and implementation
2. Process Improvement
3. Coaching teams and people
We work with proven tools and methodologies to unlock the strenghts of organistions, teams and people. These methodologies include OGSM, Lean 6Sigma, Outward Mindset Leadership, and Co-Active® Executive and ORSC™ Systems Coaching.
We facilitate the development of the strategy and ensure it is implemented through tailored trainings, workshops and coaching sessions.
We work mainly with people from life sciences. However, people from other areas increasingly reach out to The Key Co. for support.
They are leaders who are willing to develop themselves and the people around them. They are people who seek challenging goals, who dare to enter untested waters, and who want to create a lasting impact. Leaders who know that there is so much potential to unlock but are unable to do that.
We love it, working with these people.
Every organization and situation is unique. Therefore, The Key Co. provides customized programs for clients.
Also within its standard programs the needs and wishes of clients are incorporated. Good examples are:
Hi, I'm Erik and founder of The Key Co.
For more than 30 years, I held positions up to boardroom level in global companies and led successful transformations. I have a good understanding what it makes an organisation tick after working at Factories, Sales Offices and Headquarters in different countries.
I had leading roles in turning around poor performing organisations, in building alliances, in acquisitions, in developing a European company into the global leader, in launching new products worldwide, in building networks with universities, in mentoring young professionals.
Through my own professional journey, working internationally with multi-disciplinary teams, I discovered that the success of the transformation is always within the people themselves. I believe in the power of every individual. That organisations excel when people can truly contribute with their knowledge, expertise and passion in a safe environment.
What I really like is working with diverse people, making them and their teams stronger, creating pride, unlocking intrinsic motivation, and delivering sustainable results.
I am also a proud father of two teenage girls, trying to master the guitar, love traveling and history, and participating in sports.

“The strength of Erik is that he knows how to set up the structure of a new organization, to clearly define the objectives and ensure that the agreed results are achieved.
He does this in close cooperation and in a pleasant way with all people involved. In this way he creates the necessary buy-in and a safe environment in which everyone takes his responsibility."
