Meet the Supplier: VL Consultants – From strategy to implementation
In the video series Meet the Supplier, we visit the suppliers of professionals with whom we collaborate on a daily basis within our Striive platform. Who are they, what exactly do they do, and how does that collaboration work in practice?
In this edition, we shine the spotlight on VL Consultants, where Frank Teunissen, Manager Innovation & IT, plays a key role. It is the kind of organization that doesn’t stop at providing advice but continues until real solutions are in place and delivering results.
From Strategy to Execution
VL Consultants is typically brought in when the direction has already been defined, but execution is not progressing as it should. The plans are often already in place, yet they remain stuck in discussions or struggle to gain momentum. That is where VL Consultants steps in—not to reinvent everything, but to turn plans into action and create forward movement. They provide structure, help sharpen decision-making, and ensure projects regain momentum. This is particularly relevant for larger organizations facing complex strategic and tactical challenges, where multiple stakeholders are involved and alignment can be time-consuming. At the same time, through its software development division, VL Consultants also works with mid-sized businesses, where the focus is more practical and solutions are implemented directly in environments such as manufacturing and construction.
Broad Expertise, Clear Direction
What sets VL Consultants apart is its combination of consultancy and technology. The company supports organizations with strategy and transformation challenges while also developing tailored solutions that enhance their day-to-day operations. As a result, VL Consultants is involved not only in designing solutions but also in implementing them. For them, strategy and execution are closely intertwined, making them a partner that truly helps organizations move forward.p
The Role of Striive
VL Consultants has been collaborating with the Striive platform for several years and has continued to grow during that time. Through the platform, the company now delivers multiple assignments for corporate clients. What started as a practical collaboration focused on project opportunities has gradually evolved into a broader partnership, with both parties getting to know each other better and finding new ways to strengthen one another.
Looking Ahead
The focus for VL Consultants lies in continued professionalization and growth, both in consultancy and software development. The company aims to further strengthen its unique combination of in-depth expertise and implementation capability. The partnership with Striive aligns perfectly with these ambitions. Striive provides the network and access to opportunities, while VL Consultants brings the expertise and execution. Together, they help clients not only think further, but move further as well. In the accompanying video, Frank shares more about what this looks like at VL Consultants, offering insights from their day-to-day work environment and a look ahead to the future.
