What it is really about
The office is the occasion, not the goal.
A merger, a reorganisation, or simply a team that's never in the same place any more. The way people work together changes, and nobody can quite name how we do things around here, or why.
With a background in strategy and communication, we have that conversation first. Then we build, together, the online office in which the culture comes to life, day after day.
The programme
From culture to office.
Alongside specialists in culture, brand and collaboration, you build from the inside out.
01
Connecting to the strategic foundation
We start with what you stand for and what you are working towards. The direction of the organisation is the starting point — not the layout of the space.
02
Making core values something you can discuss
Which values connect, and how do they show — across teams and within them? We make it specific and open to discussion, including what counts for you personally.
03
Translating into working together
What does that mean for the way and the structure of working together? We set up both the structure and the softer side: how you keep working together and how you keep talking.
04
The office as the outcome
The space is built around how your teams work — as a result of the programme. A place that gives direction and energy to how you want to work together.
Who it's for
A question for the board. Not a fit-out job.
Directors, strategists and the people responsible for the content, who want not only a place but clarity about how they work together and an environment that carries it. At the level of the individual, the team and the organisation as a whole.
Why with us
We come from strategy.
We work with specialists in culture, brand and collaboration. That isn't knowledge we buy in; it's our own foundation. Founder Emilie van Rappard has spent more than 20 years guiding organisations through questions of strategy, stakeholders, brand and culture.
Frequently asked questions about Office + Culture
What does Office + Culture involve?
You don't start with the layout of the space but with the question of what you stand for, which values connect you and how you want to work together now that you're no longer in the same place. Alongside specialists in culture and collaboration you translate that into your way of working. Then we build the office in which that culture comes to life.
Who is this programme for?
For directors, strategists and the people responsible for the content — for instance when working at a distance isn't going smoothly, or after a merger, or within a larger programme where how you want to work has to be named again.
Why is a ready-made office not enough here?
Because the question sits deeper. A ready-made office gives you a place straight away; Office + Culture first gives you clarity about how you want to work together and then the place that fits. When it matters, the standard won't do.
Do you make collaboration open to discussion again?
Yes. Moving to a virtual office is exactly the moment to revisit the agreements: how do we work together, what has become unclear online, can the camera be off? Not to police anyone, but to make working together better.
Who guides this?
Specialists in culture, brand and collaboration. That isn't knowledge we buy in; it's our own foundation: founder Emilie van Rappard has spent more than 20 years guiding organisations through questions of strategy, stakeholders, brand and culture. Not a consultancy programme handed down from above, but a guided conversation that gives direction, with the office as its concrete outcome.
Can you keep the office alive afterwards?
Optionally, yes. With Community Services we bring energy and movement into the environment: surprising interactions and something extra on the days that matter. You decide how much.
