Van Dam Orenda?

Van Dam Orenda is one of the foremost Dutch consulting firms in product development. We are recognized for working at the cutting edge of management thought on product (and service) development, with practical methods and distinguished professionals. Van Dam Orenda helps you to create more value from product development. And since most development work is done through projects Van Dam Orenda are an accredited consulting organisation for PRINCE2^®. Van Dam Orenda is a networked firm: we rely on a small staff and a strong network of cooperating (specialized) consultants such as TPG and Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez.

Orenda is a native Canadian "good travelling" spirit, it helps you along with a strong, warm wind in the back. Van Dam Orenda supports its clients the same way: we don’t write reports but guide and coach our clients through their (joint) development processes, integrating top-of-the-bill methods into their own processes in a natural way.

Three topics stand out

Three topics often stand out in questions our clients raise:

1.      Value creation:
How does our company create value? How well do our R&D projects fit our strategy? How do we select R&D projects for maximum value? What role does knowledge play in all this? Can we keep costs at target while maintaining customer value? Do we really know how customer value our products and services?

2.      Co-creation:
If we do not own all required knowledge, how do we get it? Do we buy it from business partners or do we start joint product development? If so, how do we select partners, build value creation chains and how do we make gain-and-pain arrangements between chain members?

3.      Improving development performance
How do we provide structure, methods and management for best performance? How can we increase the number of goals that we meet in projects? Where are we on project maturity, how do we get from one level to the next, and at what investment?
