Welcome to the First Day team!
We help organisations to become more innovative and accelerate the transformation to a sustainable and more future-proof business model.
Our vision
These times force organisations to shift their course towards new ambitions and objectives. Doing this is not easy in this complex and volatile world. Actual realisation often lags behind the ambition, despite substantial investments. We have a different approach. We achieve results with a smart approach and pragmatic solutions. Together with you, your team and the expertise from our network of affiliated partners.
Sustainable transformation
A sustainable society requires new processes, skills, revenue models and rules. But how do you shape that transition? Where do you start? And how shape this specifically in your sector? We work with organisations and companies that recognise the need for a different approach and want to act accordingly. Who want to contribute but may not yet know exactly where and how.
There are several levers to consider when addressing this transformation:
- Think of the extent to which your organisation can adapt to changing circumstances: decisive for survival! What if you can structurally increase this? The change capacity of your organisation is therefore central to our approach.
- There is a huge potential of valuable ideas in and around the organisation. Direct involvement of employees and stakeholders works as a positive flywheel and we make sure that we make better use of the available thinking and decisiveness. No more than logical!
- A digitally agile organisation is better able to innovate and adapt. We manage projects that contribute to the modernisation of the ICT landscape and the reduction of complexity.
- The well-being of employees, especially in a period of change, is an important precondition. Commitment, insight into competences and being able to make a real contribution to success are central.
We take in our projects the perspective of 'Multiple Value Creation': not just focus on financial and economic value, but also on social and ecological value. From short-term thinking to long-term vision and from 1-dimensional growth to multi-dimensional bloom!

Our approach
We approach topics and challenges from 5 different angles – the critical aspects of organisational change that significantly increase the chances of success both before and during the process. And start by asking these questions:
- Do we have a clear Vision and ‘real’ strategy?
- Is our Leadership committed to execute?
- Is our organisation sufficiently Adaptable? Can we change? Are we aware of barriers & bottlenecks?
- Do we have the Power to Exceute and the support to actually see it through?
- And can we organise this in such a way that maintain enough Grip & Insight to keep on track and know when we are successful?
Our approach is therefore not 'one size fits all' but bespoke to your situation. For example, we can generate energy in one afternoon with a Business War Game and determine a first strategic direction. We involve teams and employees through our Bottom-up Innovation approach. A measurement of the Organisational Adaptability provides concrete information on how we should shape the implementation in order to maximize the chance of success.
Do we leave it to you once there is a plan? That's not our intent. We manage the implementation and take responsibility for the result. In doing so, we work closely with specialised partners who offer specific tools or solutions, including:
