The epilogue of a Team Academy alumni
It’s been about one and a half year ago since I graduated from Team Academy with a thesis I wrote for ODAM, which is now my core business. Back then it was still a concept, living only in our minds and Google Drive. We did organize several events before, mostly focused on art and music […]
Reflection on our North Sea Express journey
Seven months ago we started our journey from Amsterdam to Oslo. However, it still feels like yesterday. The last couple of months have been filled with positive comments and feedback related to our project. The North Sea Express became a lot bigger than what we thought it would be.

The One Minute Reflectioner by a teamcoach
Are we ever smart enough to know how we learn? A customer who is dissatisfied and does not want to pay for a 24-hour challenge. Fellow students who put their heels in the sand. Customers who do not call back. Coming to the conclusion after 2 weeks that you have not earned anything yet. A […]
We are a very diverse first-year team

Time to reflect on the 24-hour challenge of L&D Support
At least two times a year we invite an external company to challenge our students. The company will bring a real business case and give the students 24 hours to come up with the most creative but feasible solution. This time we invited L&D Support, an Amsterdam based business specialized in talent insights. They asked […]
