1724

The roots of our firm can be traced back to 1724. With adaptive thinking as part of our DNA, we combine mental agility, flexibility and creativity in order to respond to our environment, to digest information and apply different methods and perspectives to deliver the best solution out of the different – often contrasting – ideas and insights. It's about how to think instead of being taught what to think. Adaptive thinking allows us to deal with change, learn from new situations and think on our feet when solving problems.

That way, we can retain the best of the old, embrace the new and – together with our clients – keep on moving forward.
