Within our local authority a broad leadership trajectory was developed, aimed at building a shared leadership framework with a common language and, above all, at strengthening our managers in the many challenges of their role. Impetus Academy guided us through a programme on motivating leadership, in which scientific insights were translated into our organisational context in a strong and practical way. The trainer's expertise and style, the leadership scan, the room for reflection and the thorough debriefing were greatly appreciated by our managers and our board. The programme has noticeably contributed to stronger reflection on the leadership role within our organisation. We look back on a professional and valuable collaboration and continue today to build on the foundations laid during the leadership trajectory.
Impetus offers the combination of a strong evidence-based framework, works in co-creation and thinks along with our organisation, which is particularly valuable. Impetus helped us to further develop our leadership framework and to translate it into training programmes closely aligned with the way Ghent University works and with its own context.
Zonhoven local authority experienced the collaboration with Impetus as very positive. Impetus combines scientifically grounded insights with a pragmatic approach, giving managers concrete tools they can apply immediately in practice. The guidance on motivating leadership, the ABC model and the self and team scans fitted our organisational context closely and have contributed to a shared leadership language within our organisation. We are happy to recommend Impetus as a partner for leadership development.
In 2023 we were looking for a professional partner to help us achieve our leadership goals. One of those goals was to introduce an easily accessible framework and a shared language, so that our managers could put the coaching of employees into practice in a more uniform and professional way. The ABC methodology and the down-to-earth approach and philosophy of Impetus Academy were a perfect fit. From the very first contacts it was clear that we were dealing with a local partner, no small consideration for a company like PMV, that combined methodologically sound constructs with a very practical mindset and a real willingness to listen to the client. After completing the leadership programme in 2024, we therefore decided to have all future managers introduced to the methodology and guided by Impetus Academy as well.
We chose Impetus Academy for their well-founded and practice-oriented approach. Their leadership programmes are evidence-based, align well with our ABC+Z vision and ensure a tangible transfer to the workplace. The collaboration is smooth, professional and inspires our leaders to achieve genuine growth and self-leadership.
At Synergie we very much enjoy working with Impetus, because their programmes are grounded in an evidence-based approach. The content is always built on scientific insights while being practically applicable for our managers. There is a clear learning objective and a thoughtful didactic approach, which ensures that the learning process is structured and sustainable.
Moreover, there is always attention to good support for us as HR professionals — they think alongside us about the challenges we face and together we look for the ideal approach.
The methodologies are strongly substantiated and at the same time concrete. The leadership programme starts from self-reflection and a 360° reflection with the team, making it not only meaningful but also particularly enriching: the combination of insight, practical tools and follow-up ensures that change is truly anchored in our organisation. After the programmes, feedback is always provided at three levels — individual, team and organisation — allowing the organisation to grow and develop in a targeted way.

For the City of Aalst, Impetus Academy carried out a large-scale employee survey specifically focused on the wellbeing, work experience and motivation of our diverse job groups. What sets them apart is their client-oriented and professional approach, combined with a strong scientific foundation through Self-Determination Theory (SDT). This theory aligned seamlessly with earlier internal programmes, such as our leadership programme, and served as a recognisable lever for our employee survey.
Impetus Academy excelled in their tailoring and co-creation. They delivered a customised proposal tailored to our needs, and knew how to speak the language of our organisation from the very start. They offered concrete options and suggestions for the methodology and ensured flexibility in planning and execution. Their willingness to think along with our internal communication (including creative tools such as videos) also demonstrates their commitment.
The combination of professional project management, an accessible explanation of complex theories, and an approach that perfectly aligns with the various target groups makes them the ideal partner. Thanks to their guidance, we were able to realise an employee survey that goes beyond a classic wellbeing questionnaire and that is widely supported within our organisation.
We strongly recommend Impetus Academy to organisations striving for impactful and practice-oriented wellbeing surveys.
We experience the collaboration with Impetus as particularly pleasant. The team works in a personal and engaged manner, with a great deal of attention to discretion, which is essential in this type of process. Impetus uses scientifically validated tools, which makes their approach both reliable and professional.
Additionally, they provided us with excellent support in drafting our internal communication, which contributed to a smooth exchange of information within the organisation. Their constructive approach during consultations with various stakeholders ensured that all those involved felt heard and engaged.
The results of the survey consisted of very clear wellbeing scans. These scans were not only organisation-wide, but could also be broken down to team level, provided there were at least seven participants. This provided a valuable basis for presentations and consultations, making it clear which factors within the five A's (work organisation, work content, employment conditions, working conditions and labour relations) and which motivating or frustrating factors affect the strengths and risks within our organisation.
Finally, Impetus excellently guides the working group that works with these results. This process leads to the development of organisation-wide actions aimed at improving wellbeing and work culture.
We wholeheartedly recommend Impetus as a reliable and professional partner.
At Procos Group we carried out an employee survey with Impetus Academy and were impressed by their knowledge and professionalism, both in terms of process and content. Since then, they have become an important partner for Procos Group in projects related to employee surveys on the experience and improvement of effective office environments and employee wellbeing.
For a large wellbeing survey, we called on the people at Impetus. A warm introduction and smooth, professional guidance throughout the entire process.
From the start, we worked step by step, with room for alignment and co-creation. Our own working group was actively involved, which allowed the survey to be fully tailored. This not only ensured a high degree of engagement but also a questionnaire that perfectly matched our needs.
The guidance after the wellbeing survey was an added value: based on the results, the greatest needs were gradually translated into concrete actions/action plans, so that the survey genuinely contributes to further improvements within our organisation.
