The difference between city and village is not only in space, but especially in culture. And precisely that culture also determines how teams and organizations function.

Inspiration Session Village Logic:
In this inspiration session, Aafke Tadema shows how village logic is surprisingly similar to what happens within organizations and teams. Using recognizable stories from rural life, she shows how unwritten rules, informal influence and trust are often more decisive than formal plans or decisions.

With humor and down-to-earth examples from village life, she holds up a mirror to organizations about cooperation, organizational culture, leadership and change processes. Why do plans sometimes get stuck? Who actually sets the tone in a team? And how do you ensure that people really move with change?

The session is recognizable, practical and accessible. The inspiration session lasts on average 45 to 60 minutes and can be adapted to the type of organization, team or event. Upon request, the session can be extended with an interactive workshop or in-depth team assignment.
