WHO ARE WE?

We are a professional creative consulting firm that helps organizations with refreshing solutions for complex social and organizational issues. Starting point are the top 5 issues at hand. Whether it’s “learning within a multinational,” “product development & innovation,” “poverty and social cohesion,” or “(internal) organizational development,” our team is equipped to handle any challenge. No matter how complex!

Our approach is not only effective but also unique. To help our clients, we utilize the unbiased creative thinking power of children, and in doing so, we teach problem-solving skills to as many children as possible. This creates movement and impact within organizations, encourages them to view things differently and make them more acceptable to change, offers innovative solutions, facilitates participation, and enriches the skills of many children in an exiting fun way.

ConsultingKids HQ is located in the Netherlands and we have a strong global team of 25+ professionals creative consultants & facilitators. Each with their own unique background. We have worked on over 120 complex problems in collaboration with clients from both the public and private sector in the past 10 years. We worked together with organizations and children from six different countries, resulting in the development of over 2,200 impactful refreshing solutions, and teaching problem-solving skills to more than 12,000 children.

WHAT IS OUR DREAM?

Our dream is to help organizations and society worldwide with their most important challenges (no matter how complex!) by utilizing the unbiased creative thinking power of children, while at the same time strengthening children’s problem-solving skills.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

We are currently initiating an exploratory phase to identify the ideal local individual partners with whom we can garner experience across Western Europe, Asia, North America, and the Middle East. A partner could be an individual independent consultant/facilitator or a small team. The start will be a series of pilot projects aimed at establishing long-term collaboration. We have a ready-to-implement process for this and are in search of exciting and fitting partners for our brand.

Our ideal candidates possess the following attributes:

  • A solid local network within both the governmental and private sectors to secure access to potential clients.
  • Intelligent, well-educated, and enjoyable individual to collaborate with.
  • 5+ years active as an independent consultant/faciliator at senior management level in various organizations.
  • Speaks the local language and English at a professional level

Per country we aim to have teams of 5 to 100+ partners. As a rule of thumb we aim at ± 1 person per 1 to 1,5 milion inhabitants. .

We have pinpointed the following roles that you should be able to fullfill at different stages

  1. Business Development: Oversees the growth of ConsultingKids and generates business.
  2. Consultant: Grasps the diverse inquiries of customers and aids in resolving them (through the ConsultingKids methodology).
  3. Facilitator PLUS: Conducts classroom sessions, remains alert to additional inquiries from customers/opportunities, and identifies solutions that engage the customer.

In return we provide:

  • A well tested collaboration model where work is shaped together partly locally and partly from ConsultingKids HQ.
  • A wealth of experience and references from the past 10 years in public and private sector plus all relevant experience from all the hubs world wide we are now setting up.
