The Story of Buurtzorg
How to keep it small and simple in a challenging environment.
Buurtzorg, a HomeHealthcare organisation that revolutionised the home healthcare in the Netherlands. Not only because of its distinctive care model but also because of its new organisational model, now, after 15 years, working with 1000 small, selfmanaged teams. The WHY & the HOW will be highlighted during this (interactive) session.
Solution Focus & Team Self-Management
The success of a self-managed organisation.
In a self-managed organisation, everyone is expected to be able to respond to developments in the team and "on the market". During this session participants will learn how this works exactly at Buurtzorg.
The Buurtzorg coach & coaching autonomous teams
Why are coaches so important and what do they do?
In a self-managed organisation the role of the coach is a delicate and vitally important one. During this session, participants will learn what which considerations were made when designing this role at Buurtzorg and how it all worked/works out in daily practice?
For me, the real power of a nexxworks tour is the unique group of people you meet and travel with.
The tour founded relationships with interesting people I otherwise would've never met.
The mix of speakers and content was perfect.

It was truly an eye-opening experience that both enriched my network with amazing people and helped me shape the further direction of my career.
The things you hear, see and learn are a source of inspiration and motivation for the future. We have already implemented some of these in our current strategy and operations.
Nexxworks helps to facilitate innovative out of the box thinking. They will expose you and your teams to a different level of thought leadership, which in turn will help you and your people develop a different thinking ethos for the future.
The nexxworks inspiration series helps us to imagine the future together with all the teams worldwide, and make the bridge to our day-to-day challenges as well.
The nexxworks inspiration sessions were that mindblowing, that I invited my global team to taste, smell and learn via a similar experience.
Meeting today’s companies and speakers brought us refreshing energy and perspectives to our challenges today.
This experience showed how short-term planning and long term planning are both needed. The China visits were truly inspiring in how they execute on that.
It’s so important to step outside the day-to-day business. We are the only ones who can moderate this back to our teams and translate what we’ve learned to accomplish our daily goals.
To new travelers, I hope you feel some of the same excitement, anxiety, and concentration. May you learn the way we did.
We’ve seen great concepts and initiatives from other companies, that made us think outside the box.
We want to make sure that the wonderful company that our family started, remains relevant in a fast-pace changing world.
I view the nexxworks membership as a combination of inspiration, practical insights, and networking with peers.
