How to envision and design your own transformative project inspired by The Hogeweyk Care Concept and Be Advice Paradigm
A multi-day, in-depth study session is led by experienced advisors. We draw on our years of experience in concept development, implementation, and adaptation of The Hogeweyk Care Concept, as well as in change and operational management—both in The Hogeweyk and while supporting international initiatives applying the social approach in support and care.
During an introductory meeting, we examine your specific request and tailor the program to your needs, taking into account your project’s stage of development—whether it concerns a new initiative, an existing care organisation dedicated to innovate and transform as a whole or a part of it, for example day services. We help you envision and design your project or concept inspired by The Hogeweyk Care Concept and the Be Advice Paradigm©, discussing how it can be applied in your country, culture, organisation and society. These interactive days are ideally suited for you and your dedicated team—the same team that will implement the change or innovation.
