The Scandinavian management consulting firm Transcendent Group enters the Dutch market with Remon Houweling as CEO. Transcendent Group is a value-driven growth company, offering services within Governance, Risk and Compliance.
Transcendent Group don’t offer products or static models to all clients. Instead, they only offer senior consultants who will tailor-make solutions for each client’s specific needs.
– By not offering standardized solutions, we’re able to really listen to the client and build a long-term relationship built on trust. That’s what makes us different, our focus on the client relationships, in a cultural way. People are tired of the old way of collaborating between the consultant and the client. It’s time for something new, something personal and brave. That’s the gap on the Dutch market that Transcendent Group will fill, says Remon Houweling, CEO Transcendent Group Netherlands

– Scandinavian corporate culture is known throughout the world as being something different. It allows all colleagues to be professional and real friends at the same time, something that many consultants are longing for. We challenge the Big4 by embracing our employees’ passion, continues Remon Houweling.
Transcendent Group focus on the individuals, believing that by building their personal brands, they also strengthen Transcendent Group’s brand.
– Many consultants from the Big4 are extremely passionate about GRC, but they can’t bring it to the table due to formal hierarchies. Transcendent Group are unconstrained from formal hierarchy and expect all employees to contribute with their passion, both to the clients and to the company’s strategy and growth. We don’t waste talent. The clients notice that, and it adds a great value. Passion really is one of our key success factors, says Lars Reidar Vold-Andersen, Head of New Markets at Transcendent Group.
Remon has over 16 years of experience, and his latest position was as a Director at Deloitte.
– I have been dreaming about starting my own company for several years now. I’ve been planning and considering different options. It has been my goal for a long time now. And then I met Transcendent Group, and it was like all the pieces fell into place. Transcendent Group’s strategy and culture was aligned with my vision for the company I wanted to create. I know that this is the opportunity I’ve been waiting for, says Remon Houweling.
