Flow
Musicians feel it. Athletes experience it. Writers live it. Flow. A state of balanced concentration, skill, and challenge that moves you beyond your limitations. You have a clear, ambitious goal. You are in your element, doing what you excel at and pushing your boundaries. That’s flow. You create, evaluate, and revise in one smooth, continuous movement. Flow feels good because you are doing what you find important, valuable, and enjoyable. How about you? How do you experience flow?

WHAT DO ENTREPRENEURS
AND BUSINESS OWNERS THINK ABOUT FLOW+?
"We were looking for a broad experience, knowledge, and structured approach for a number of projects," said Eric van Schagen of Simac and Rudie Piessens of Simac Triangle. “We found this at Flow+ with great satisfaction, which has already resulted in several collaborations.”
aQuestora is an independent player in the fiber optic world, facilitating a connection between demand and supply in the fiber optic industry. In addressing their challenges, they sought and found an outside perspective in Flow+. "This allowed us to focus on our core business, while Flow+ examined and optimized relationships with our stakeholders," says director-owner Jan Herps.
"We were looking for an expert sparring partner and sounding board for ourselves and our family business," said director-owners Martijn and Margriet van de Ven. "Someone who can take a look from the outside in with a critical eye, and provide us with substantive advice. Together with the management team, they guided us in developing a clear vision and strategy."
A Flow+ Quick Scan among all employees gave Mario Leijen insight into what was happening within his organization, Niva Liften. “I was pleasantly surprised by the way our core values emerged so strongly from the scan. We had never explicitly discussed them with each other, but now that we have articulated them more clearly, we can align our policies accordingly in the future.”
Entrepreneur Wijnand Vergeest opts for guidance from Flow+. Through periodic sessions, they identify and address relevant issues together. “I was able to rebalance everything: myself, my family, and my role as an entrepreneur. The reflective and collaborative discussions on specific entrepreneurial challenges have been immensely helpful in this regard.”
QRMS started up eight years ago. "As an entrepreneur, I wanted to develop further and grow the organization," said Twan Wulms. "The insights and approach from Flow+ helped me and QRMS continue evolving. Each Basecamp session provides new insights, ideas, and actions for improvement. The team-building workshop has further helped the team along the way.”
In 1996, Eric and Angelie Roosen founded Star Sock and Healthy Seas with the philosophy of “Join for Positive Footprint”. "We thought it was time to form a new management team and let the organization operate more independently of us," said Eric. “The purpose was to enable further growth -- a rewarding challenge in which we found this guidance to be essential.”
"Recalibrate and implement the strategy," was Leon Coolen’s objective. This was a compelling challenge at the family company, Coolen, which has been a household name in the Eindhoven region for over 80 years.
“Thanks to Flow+, we’re making strategic decisions faster and better,” said entrepreneurial couple Dorien and Dick van Aggel, owners of Medicura, a medical device supplier. They are guided in their entrepreneurship by Jeroen Beckers of Flow+.
