We share our knowhow by offering consultancy services and training courses

We own and operate our stadium in Amsterdam (the first multipurpose stadium in Europe) since its inception in 1996 and have been involved in the development of the surrounding area. Since 2000, we have been involved in numerous leading projects and sports tournaments worldwide such as the UEFA EURO2012 and the FIFA World Cup 2018 in Russia. Our successful business development in Brazil resulted in management positions held by the company in the FIFA World Cup 2014 stadiums of Salvador, Natal and the stadium of Gremio in Porto Alegre. We were special stadium operations consultant to the Qatar Supreme Committee in relation to the FIFA World Cup 2022 preparations. We take pride in being internationally recognized as specialists in venue development and management.

Our services

We have four main areas in which we provide consultancy:

• Venue Development
• Venue Management Establishment and Performance Improvement
• How to become an Innovative Stadium
• How to create a Living Lab

Often our clients initially ask us to provide one or more Training Courses for their management or staff. We provide training in all subjects relevant to venue development, management and innovation. A Training Course can help our clients decide on which approach to take in their Venue Development or Restructuring process. Subsequently when creating an Innovative Stadium we prepare a feasibility study, an analysis of financing options, business plan, review the design input from an experienced ‘venue operator’ perspective and assist in establishing the Venue Organization. Furthermore we advise on how to make the stadium more innovative and anchor this in the organization. This can reach a level where the stadium is also used as a Living Lab. Our studies and plans are often used to convince stakeholders or to create a joint vision that helps start the actual restructuring of a venue, its facilities and/or its organization.

As independent consultants and (interim) managers, we have gained wide-ranging experience in the fields of venue development, management and innovation. We advise and support our clients with our extensive practical knowledge in all relevant areas. By sharing our vision and experience, we are able to create, together with our clients, venues that are sustainable from the social, environmental, and financial perspectives. We combine a thorough knowledge of the local market with the advisory power of our internationally operating experienced consultants and managers. We always adapt to local culture and legislation and strive to be part of a local team.
