Act on employeneurship

Learning equals performance

We operate in a rapidly changing context, with new technologies, different ways of working and a dynamic world. As a result, staying in development is of strategic importance. How do you ensure that employees continuously develop themselves and enjoy doing so? What steps are needed to create a culture of learning? Which practical tools do you use? Together with Pontes you’ll find the answers that fit your organization.

Hands-on consultancy

Pontes helps create strategic development programs and effective learning environments. These are always co-creations with the customer. Our result-oriented quartermasters and consultants have often earned their spurs in senior leadership positions. They are experienced in practical talent development and creating learning platforms. They’ll assist you from start to finish using their own expertise, sharing their insights and offering hands-on guidance along the way.

Tailored development programs

Every organization has its own culture and context. As a result, ‘learning to learn’ is different for everyone. Our programs are always tailored to what is already present in an organization and what is required. That’s why we use all kinds of methods, such as change management, employee journey design, purpose-driven leadership, learning platforms and more. Together we create an organization in which learning contributes to business results.

Coaching That Creates Movement

Whether it’s about personal leadership, more effective collaboration, or staying on course in a changing environment, coaching only truly works when it connects with what drives someone. At Pontes, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all programs. We believe in growth through ownership. That’s why we offer coaching that doesn’t prescribe, but invites. That doesn’t patch up, but deepens.

Our programs help people reflect, develop, and take responsibility, for their role, their team, and their future. Personally tailored, always context-aware Focused on self-leadership and lasting behavioral change Space for both reflection and action

That kind of insight is what makes the difference between a good and a sustainable match. Our assessments are designed to help organisations make better decisions: for hiring, internal mobility, team development or strengthening leadership. We combine in-depth behavioural analysis with smart tooling and years of experience in the high-tech sector.

Always personal, always applicable, and always aligned with your context and ambitions. Whether you’re looking for more grip on your recruitment process or development data to support growth, Pontes gives you the insight to move forward.

How we develop professionals with lasting impact

At Pontes, we believe real growth happens when people are supported in more than just skills. Our approach focuses on mindset, behaviour and self-leadership, so professionals can grow with confidence, and organisations benefit from lasting impact.

We do this based on a set of guiding principles:

Self-leadership – Professionals take charge of their own development, decisions and direction, instead of waiting for permission.
Resilience – Staying calm and effective in high-pressure or rapidly changing environments.
Initiative & ownership – Spotting opportunities and acting with confidence.
Reflection & clarity – Gaining insight into values, strengths and goals, and translating that into action.
Influence & collaboration – Building trust, navigating complexity and communicating with impact.
Continuous learning – Embedding growth in daily work through coaching, tools and smart support systems.

We embed these principles not only in individual coaching, but across the wider organisation, from leadership vision to culture and tooling:

Vision and strategy

Leadership lays the foundation for learning and development. Where do you stand as an organization and where do you want to go? Together we formulate a vision that you can build on, in line with the company strategy and long-term goals.

Organisation & Culture

How do you create an optimal learning environment? Which behavior is is desired? What practical steps should you take for structural change? From start to finish, Pontes helps build a culture of learning and constant development.

Training & Tooling

Pontes helps set up learning platforms that facilitate re-skilling and upskilling of employees. Together we select the tools and technology that suit the organization, the employees and the desired learning climate.

Multiple intelligence and the Q-model

An essential part of Employeneurship is the Q-model. This development model states that every person possesses multiple types of intelligences. With the Q-model, human potential can be measured on the basis of competencies and work values. These qualities are linked to the different intelligence types – the so-called Q’s. This creates a structure in which competencies can be systematically developed through practical coaching and training, aimed at the qualities that an employee and the employer want to improve.

CQ

The CQ concerns the development of hard skills and mental strength, and determines how well someone can observe and reason through knowledge. This is necessary for the development, testing and dissemination of one’s own (senior) vision.

EQ

EQ is about feeling, reflecting and connecting. Soft skills and cooperation take center stage. EQ embraces the knowledge of one’s own system and behavioral patterns, increasing self-awareness making behavior a choice.

LQ

The LQ measures the development of personal leadership and the extent to which someone works based on their own needs, passions and intrinsic motivations. This affects proactiveness, responsibility and autonomy.

PQ

PQ determines the potential for self-management. It concerns the ability to work effectively with the internal and external world, organizing and prioritizing as needed. This is necessary, for example, to deal with work pressure and expectations from the environment.

XQ

Developing the different Q’s leads to improvement of personal effectiveness and the potential to achieve results, summarized in XQ: Execution Power. XQ is therefore the sum of the other Qs.
