We help organisations build a healthy, high-performance working environment by detecting risks before they become crises.
Yves de Jamblinne wants to change the world, aware from his experience and observations of the loss of common sense in society, he is determined to put people back at the heart of the debate and at the centre of solutions.
After starting his career in the IT division of a mutual insurance company, Yves de Jamblinne was approached by Deloitte and decided to join the organisation, bringing with him his expertise in implementing agile methods and change strategy. These experiences have been great learning opportunities for him, as well as a source of questions about how companies and society in general work.
In 2015 he decided to change careers so that he could focus on people rather than technology and products. After being certified in the process communication model, the model used by NASA to select and train its astronauts, and in neuroscience, he created Grouks Advisory and embarked on this new adventure as a trainer, coach and change agent within companies.
But... he remains unsatisfied. Always keen to have the widest possible impact, he realises that training courses are often used more to tick boxes than as part of a real development strategy within organisations. He can only observe the decline in the quality of leadership, and he comes to the constant dread that managers are no longer really aware of the human risk within their organisation and the consequences that this can have.
Fortunately, where there's a problem, there's an opportunity, and he decided to set about creating a tool to objectively measure these risks so that they could be properly addressed. The year is 2019...
While he was working on the development of this tool, COVID appeared and validated all his initial hypotheses. Where others had suffered from this pandemic, Yves said thank you, it had enabled him to make a 10-year leap forward in the debate on human beings.
After 4 years of development, Yves de Jamblinne has finally come up with a powerful tool for measuring human risk. So effective that it can even predict burnouts and resignations up to 6 months ahead. He decided to team up with Thibaut Delhaye, a more commercial personality, and in June 2022 they founded Grouks. Grouks helps organisations improve their performance by improving their people.
Today Yves is happy, he wants to change the world and he has found a way to do it.
Anticipating future events and planning suitable measures is second nature to us. This mental approach is the key to our success and the DNA of what we do.
Theory is a fantastic toolbox. However, the real added value comes from the ability to use this information in a specific and immediate way.
We create added value by simplifying approaches and concepts. Thanks to this simplification, we act swiftly in order to maximise impact.
Our priority is to make you an active player in your life and challenges. We provide your inspiration to take action while making the best choices.
Putting people at the heart of decision-making means making more robust and sustainable choices,
which guarantee the long-term future of our organisations.
