The Corporate Awakening: 70% Demands Change
Your boardroom conversations are shifting. ESG requirements, CSRD compliance, talent retention challenges, and stakeholder pressure are no longer peripheral concerns—they’re existential imperatives. 70% of Dutch society explicitly calls for more humane leadership, while 66% of organizations plan to accelerate sustainability efforts in 2025.
The question facing your board is no longer whether to transform, but how deeply you’re willing to go. Surface-level initiatives won’t suffice. The organizations that will thrive are those bold enough to transform their cultural DNA from conquering to contributing.
The Four Levels of Organizational Consciousness
Research reveals that Dutch organizations are evolving through distinct transformation stages. Where does your organization currently operate?
Level 1.0: Ego-Centric (Traditional)
- Individual performance and shareholder value dominate
- Hierarchical command-and-control structures
- Short-term financial targets as sole priority
- Employees viewed as ‘human resources’ to manage
Level 2.0: Stakeholder-Aware (Compliance Driven)
- Broader stakeholder engagement for reputation management
- ESG reporting and CSRD compliance as primary drivers
- Balancing profit with purpose through policy
- Reactive responses to external pressure
Level 3.0: System-Conscious (Holistic)
- Organization as integral part of larger ecosystem
- Long-term sustainable value creation for all stakeholders
- Proactive collaboration with ecosystem partners
- Prevention-based strategies rooted in systems thinking
Level 4.0: Eco-Centric (Regenerative)
- Planet and people explicitly prioritized alongside profit
- Regenerative business models that restore rather than extract
- Deep consciousness of interconnection and mutual dependence
- Purpose and meaning central to all strategic decisions
The question is: Which level will future-proof your organization?
Why Traditional Change Management Fails
Most organizational transformation focuses on processes, structures, and behaviors while leaving the underlying consciousness untouched. This creates what we call “lipstick on a pig”—surface changes that don’t address the fundamental paradigm driving decision-making.
40% of Dutch organizations recently lost valuable employees due to misaligned values. 19% of workers experience burnout symptoms. These aren’t HR problems—they’re symptoms of consciousness misalignment between evolving human needs and outdated organizational operating systems.

Dutch Pioneers Leading the Way
ASN Bank has fully integrated sustainability as core mission with impact above profit. Eosta drives regenerative agriculture and systemic change for ecosystem restoration. EkoPlaza positions organic food as contribution to planetary health rather than consumer choice.
These organizations demonstrate that the transition from extraction to contribution isn’t utopian idealism—it’s practical necessity for organizations that want to lead rather than follow in the new economy.
The Dutch Sustainable Growth Coalition shows how collective leadership works, with nearly fifty CEOs regularly convening to discuss sustainable leadership and create sector-transcending transformation.
The Business Imperative for Deep Transformation
Climate Reality: Only 20% of Dutch companies have concrete roadmaps to achieve climate goals, while regulatory requirements intensify annually.
Talent Crisis: Young professionals increasingly refuse to work for organizations that don’t align with their values around purpose and planetary wellbeing.
Market Evolution: Consumer behavior rapidly shifts toward companies demonstrating authentic contribution rather than extraction.
Systemic Risk: Organizations operating from outdated consciousness face increasing vulnerability to disruption, regulation, and reputation damage.
The organizations that transform now position themselves as architects of the future rather than victims of inevitable change.

Beyond Sustainability: Regenerative Organizations
We guide organizations beyond minimizing harm toward actively healing and regenerating the communities, ecosystems, and economic systems they touch.
This isn’t about adding sustainability initiatives to existing business models. This is about evolving business models that inherently create positive impact as their core operating principle.
The result: Organizations that don’t just survive the transition to regenerative economy—they lead it.
The Invitation to Lead
“Teaching is dancing—allowing our energies to resonate with the frequencies of the field of love, assisting organizations to fall into themselves and surrender to the rhythms of regenerative possibility.”
The choice before your board is clear: Continue optimizing within a dying paradigm, or become architects of the organizational forms that will shape our collective future.
The world needs organizational pioneers willing to demonstrate that commerce and contribution can not only coexist, but create unprecedented value for all stakeholders.
The question isn’t whether this transformation will happen across the economy. The question is: Will your organization help birth the new world that wants to emerge?
