Our story
The Better Company’s story begins in 2000. It originates from a scientific dissertation successfully defended by (CEO) Marco de Haas at Eindhoven University of Technology. After several years in the consulting industry, Marco missed the science as a foundation for his consulting advice. A combination of both worlds became his new goal. This was followed in 2004 by a collaboration with Prof. Dr. Patrick Groenen and in 2007 with Prof. Dr. Daan van Knippenberg.
After a four-year research period at the ERIM, this collaboration produced the first Do Better Scan for Strategy & Alignment in 2011. In order to self-reliantly use their product to improve organizations and fulfill their mission, they went independent in 2018. Following an expansion from just measurement to an evidence approach to the change movement. In order to reconnect people, organizations, and society.
