What is stuck in a system is rarely stuck for nothing. Patterns are stronger than good intentions. You don’t break through them, you outgrow them.
It does require commitment from you. In a short time, we make visible what is going on and what is possible. You choose the direction.
Our programs are workshops or multi-day intensives. Through May 2026, we’re still based in Groningen (NL). Beyond that, we work primarily by invitation: in-company and internationally.
They are knowledge and especially exploration days where you work hands-on with systemic work in teams and organizations.
Together with you, we explore stuck situations and challenges like true pioneers. We don’t shy away from experiments. And we create the safe setting for making visible what really matters.
You! Choose below who you are, and we’ll tell you how we can help.
Hi, we are Jan Jacob Stam and Dees van de Hoef.
All the work we do nowadays is deeply connected to potential. We have ventured from being problem-oriented, through solution-oriented, to being potential-oriented.
That also defines us, we are adventurers.
On a journey, you move more from A to B, with a fairly clear idea of where you’ll be and when.
For us at Transitionstudio, every program is an adventure. We know how we start, and we have a general idea of where we want to end up. But in between, there are many ingredients, and sometimes new interventions present themselves on the spot. We work with what is present and, above all, with what is needed, always in relation to potential.
Our (course) offerings come in three flavors:
We are here for in-company assignments, tailored intensives, masterclasses, workshops, societal issues and international collaborations.
We work with (executive) boards, leadership and management teams, organizations, training institutes and groups. In the Netherlands and far beyond.
We always start by exploring the question: what does this organization, this sector or this country need now? If there is openness to explore that together, we step in. If there isn’t, we say so honestly.
Interested? Get in touch.
What is really going on in your team?
The team survey maps the team as a whole:
Completely anonymous, combined into one team result, with a diagnosis within a week.
Our team guidance is always tailored, (often) preceded by a targeted survey for your whole team.
We’re not into long-term projects. Expect short sessions of no more than 1 or 2 half-days, in which your team gets the impulses to move forward for quite a while.

“The proram Movement of Transformation has been a deeply enriching experience. Dees and Jan Jacob masterfully combine humor, depth, and structure – creating a space where learning becomes transformation itself.”
We are down-to-earth Groningers (from the northern part of the Netherlands), so:
Does this sound like music to your ears? Then we’re a match.
Feel free to get in touch for a short Zoom call . Together we’ll explore whether and how we can be of use for you.
