Uniting research, insight, market experience and technology to help people, cultures and brands achieve their view of success.

About Us

In short:

Not all answers are simple. Complexity made accessible trumps simple but ineffectual.
Answers are not the issue. It’s knowing the right questions to ask.
You can’t innovate if you’ve not innovated the organisation that says it helps others to innovate. That would just be crazy, right?

Why:

We’re Jason and Yvonne, founders of DUTCH-ENGELS. We’ve both worked at board level within organisations as well as consulting firms. We believe - like many other company founders before us - that to improve on what we felt was the current status quo we had to make it happen. Combining our experience on both the client and consulting sides gave us insight into the positive and negative experiences on both sides of a contract.

We felt offering a different approach to consulting would deliver the value - and more importantly results - required in an ever evolving, fast moving, global business environment.

What:

Combine solid intelligence within our proven framework to deliver solutions which foster the right results.
Work in concert with you, translate complex data into usable results - and importantly - deliver them as understandable and relevant solutions fit for purpose.
Ask questions others won’t or can’t and expose solutions that make the difference for you and your organisation.
Understand that sometimes things just get stuck, what worked for you before doesn’t now.
A global in market resource of over 100, researchers, analysts, risk professionals, operational experts, content creators, designers, engineers and innovators working with you to join the right dots and deliver the results you and your organisation require.
