About Maarten Robben

I love poetry, understanding the root of things and studying Organization, Philosophy and Cosmology. I'm passionate about playing the guitar, enjoying the wondrous outdoors, traveling and experiencing the new. I have studied Economics, Organisation Studies, Philosophy and Developmental Psychology in The Netherlands and am specialised in designing and facilitating live games and simulations for systemic change within and between organisations. For 5.5 years I worked at Twynstra Gudde (a Dutch consultancy company) on projects for governmental agencies and (inter)national companies, learning the art of impact game creation.Almost 12 years ago we co-created Frisse Blikken / Fresh Forces and work as a partner on various tough and lesser tough organisational and transition problems. I work internationally where the transition towards a sustainable energy system and a regenerative agriculture system with all its challenges and opportunities really captured my interest and imagination. Ever since I started working with organizations I have been teaching at various Dutch and international universities and business schools on methodologies of systemic change, gaming & simulation and personal development. I live and love together with Kirsten and our unbelievably beautiful daughters Mies, Inés and Manu in the middle of The Netherlands.

    Landshapers - the gameWe nemen je mee naar de Groene Streek, een prachtige plek met in het hart een uniek Natura2000 natuurgebied ergens in Nederland...Maar, De Groene Streek verandert snel! Verschillende transities verlopen tegelijk. Om totale chaos te voorkomen is er behoefte aan een integrale transitie aanpak. Deze moet voorkomen dat het Natura2000 gebied voor altijd verloren zal gaan en alle ecosysteem diensten zoals bestuiving, drinkbaar grondwater en vruchtbare grond.In Landshapers – The Game mag jij vanuit een specifieke rol aan de knoppen zitten waarmee je de natuurlijke veerkracht van De Groene Streek mag bepalen. Dit doe je samen met een scala aan andere spelers, die op hun beurt weer de rol van bijvoorbeeld industrie, aannemer, Tech gigant of varkensboer vertegenwoordigen.Het creëren van een zo hoog mogelijk natuurlijke veerkracht is het uitgangspunt, maar…vergeet vooral je eigenbelangen niet. Het mag niet zo zijn dat de transitie jouw ondergang betekent.Daarnaast moet je slim rekening houden met de veranderlijke publieke opinie en politieke invloed. De speler die zowel haar eigen doelstellingen behaald, slim weet te innoveren, mensen mee krijgt EN de natuur weer veerkrachtig maakt… WINT.

    Voor De Oogst Van Morgen Nov 2018 - Present
    Krachten bundelen voor een vruchtbare bodemIn toenemende mate wordt erkend dat veel van onze huidige publieke uitdagingen onderling samenhangen en daarom ook alleen in samenhang kunnen worden aangegaan en opgelost. Dit geldt in het bijzonder voor onze natuur-, voedsel- en landbouwsectoren, die nu hard tegen hun grenzen aanlopen - of die zelfs ver voorbij gaan. Het is niet langer voldoende om waardevolle en duurzame initiatieven gefragmenteerd en geïsoleerd te laten voortbestaan; het is tijd om onze krachten te bundelen voor meer aandachtige impact en een effectievere inzet van onze gezamenlijke middelen. Samen kunnen we immers het grote plaatje zien en zijn we beter in staat onze acties op te schalen en creatief met vraagstukken om te gaan. En dat betekent collectief minder kosten en meer energie en inspiratie!

  • Twynstra Gudde
    Adviseur Organisatie Ontwikkeling
    Twynstra Gudde Jun 2006 - Feb 2011
    Amersfoort
    Let me begin with stating that I had an amazing time at Twynstra Gudde. I had the privilege to work together with big (inter)national - and governmental organizations on ‘tough’ change issues. During these five years I specialized myself in working with (learning) games and simulations within leadership programs, organization development trajectories and professionalization trajectories. It shaped my systemic understanding of issues, learned to work on an executive level and trained my multi stakeholder facilitation skills. I worked on various thrilling dossiers, but I’ll elaborate briefly on the three that I’m most proud of:1. Organizing and hosting a simulation (embedded in a mutual gains framework) with the multi-stakeholder steering committee of a large Dutch infrastructural project. The goal was to open up a delicate dialogue around trust, cooperation and leadership. We succeeded our goal. Amazing feeling!2. Co-designing and co-hosting a change trajectory for a large operational body within the municipality of Amsterdam. This intense project lasted a full year and at it’s core was a game that needed to give clarity on the need and purpose of the organization itself (the organization was slightly ‘orphaned’). It led to many small ‘grass-root’ initiatives of the employees themselves with the aim of ‘getting in contact’ again.3. Co-designing and co-hosting an introductory program for a large Dutch energy company. At the hart of this program was a game where the participants experienced, in miniature and within a day, the essence of the company. Moreover, they experienced changes they had to make with regard to sustainability aiming at carbon free production in 2030.
