Stichting Oud Geleerd Jong Gedaan – Enny van Arkel – Director
From comfortable passion to Olympic flame in one year.
As a foundation, we bring curious seniors and motivated students together. Our mission is clear and engagement runs high. Even so, I wanted to know: where does our team really stand, and what do we need to keep growing?
The Teamenergy approach gave us more than insight into our areas for growth — it gave us a concrete route to act on them ourselves. And it didn’t stop at insight. Our second measurement showed clear progress: from comfortable passion to Olympic flame.
Insight into what was holding us back.
The first measurement showed we were in the comfortable passion stage. Everyone knew the mission and felt strongly connected to our reason for being and our social impact.
At the same time, we saw where our growth was being held back. Were we voicing our expectations of one another clearly enough? Did we seek out constructive conflict? Was our direction equally sharp for everyone? Those questions gave direction to our action points.
Getting to work on ourselves with targeted exercises.
What I value about Teamenergy is that it doesn’t stop at analysis. The platform offers concrete exercises, a clear sequence, and practical tools so a team can have the conversation and take steps on its own.
That let us work purposefully on collaboration, expectations, and focus. We took ownership of our own development.
Professional team development on a limited budget.
As a foundation, we depend on grants and external funding. Every euro has to deliver maximum social impact. A traditional program with an external team coach quickly becomes expensive in that light.
For a low price, Teamenergy offers a complete platform for self-directed team development: deep insight, clear priorities, and practical exercises. For organizations with limited resources in particular, that’s hugely valuable.
A visible step forward
Our second measurement showed that we’d grown into Olympic flame. That’s a clear step forward. Of course there are still things to work on, but as a team we also have something to celebrate.
For me, this confirms that Teamenergy gave us exactly what we needed: insight into where we stood, clarity on what we had to do, and the ability to work on it independently and with purpose.
"In one year we grew from comfortable passion to Olympic fire — and we achieved that as a team ourselves, with the Teamenergy approach."
