GNKS Consult BV

GNKS Consult was founded in 2006 by Maarten Botterman and conducts strategic and policy research and evaluation, building on excellence in understanding of the impact of the emerging Global Networked Knowledge Society. GNKS Consult makes a difference by contributing to insights that help society and organisations to be sustainable in the long run. GNKS is an independent policy think tank and consultancy that builds insights on sound, objective and empirically-based analysis, with an important emphasis on the quality of the analysis and a balanced presentation of the findings, independent from any political or religious conviction. Important in the work of GNKS Consult is emphasis on "open mind" and being able to develop policies that are inspired by an open mind that is not hindered by mental blocks based on personal experiences of policy makers and other decision makers involved. Coaching in this to ensure a deep understanding up and beyond current experience is as important as the high quality analysis that underpins our recommendations. For making things happen GNKS Consult can rely on a network of top class associated researchers that together cover the following disciplines: economists, psychologists, game theorists, behavioral scientists, political scientists; and operations researchers. All associated researchers have worked with each other before, and are committed to making a difference, not just to deliver according to contract. Next to policy analysis and evaluations GNKS also advises organisations on how to adapt to the challenges of today inspired by the evolution of the Internet and ICT.
