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?
