What we do
Create value by focusing our energy on
- establishing a think and do tank in The Netherlands as a center of operations
- leading the conversation locally and globally about innovation and cultures emerging from collaboration and creativity
- investing in the personal development of people and proprietary tools and research
- establishing centers of innovative practice inside organizations and in countries around the world
- cross-fertilizing learning from micro-cultures into more global and macro-economic practices
- using cross-media and collaborative platforms
- prototyping concepts and ideas, relationships that foster human potential, and
- developing and applying tools that support innovation and cultural development through collaboration
- developing and proving new business models and value creation measurements
Our expertise comes from experience in the worlds of science, media, technology, communication and creative development. We use this expertise to communicate in more multi-sensory contexts with digital video and sound to engage with people in more poignant ways beyond simple words.
We provide:
- Continuing education - through seminars, workshops, online learning - We use media to engage people.
- Research, innovation and invention - We follow our fascinations until they land in something we can use.
- Tools, applications and platforms - We continually piece together technology to help human beings share and create.

Who we are
We are living proof of how Communities of Practice (CoPs) emerge from collaborative cultures based on shared interests and a common purpose. Officially established on 4 October 2005 at 4:20 pm in Amsterdam as The Institute for Collaboration Creativity & Culture, we evolved from The Dutch Connection, an online business development club started in March 2004. We have grown into a committed group of professionals with a global network in 86 countries.
