Doing Good Works!
Unbossers is a cross-company social learning initiative to collaboratively enhance our corporate cultures on a grand scale.
In 2024, hundreds of managers and employees have collaborated to align their daily tasks with their noble goals and values through our peer-to-peer sparring, company safaris, year-long programs, and insights from our latest book, ‘Doing Good Works’.
While we don’t claim to know what the company of the future will look like, we do belief that, together, ordinary people can build extraordinary companies!

3 Ways to Engage with Unbossers Network
1. Sparring
Simply invite our network’s founder and passionate expert, Nick Van Langendonck (LinkedIn), to pivotal moments or processes within your teams. He will challenge your thinking, share best practices, and facilitate relevant social learning with peers from our network.
2. Custom Company Safari
You present a specific business challenge, and we design a custom social learning experience tailored to inspire actionable solutions.
3. 1-Year Programs
Your teams unite with teams from other companies for a year-long social learning journey through observation and interaction with others sparking a wildfire of dialogue and best practices across their teams and companies.
What’s in it for you and your colleagues?
Problem Solving
Your people often seek learning opportunities when they face an immediate challenge. In these moments of need, collaboration is crucial. We align our network with their challenges so that they can quickly ask for advice and get fresh perspectives from others. This accelerates problem-solving and enhances learning on the spot.
Enhanced Productivity
By fostering an environment where colleagues and peers regularly share their thoughts, ideas, experiences, and best practices, the Unbossers Network helps your people continuously improve their skills and productivity. The collaborative approach allows them to grow through collective knowledge and shared expertise.
Employee Retention
Social learning not only fosters skill development but also deepens connections between colleagues and peers. The awareness that the network supports and encourages these exchanges strengthens loyalty, as people feel valued and connected to a larger collective. This sense of belonging helps you retain your talent.
Enhanced Teamwork
Colleagues that share Unbossers Network experiences will naturally help each other more often, seek advice, collaborate more effectively, and learn together in real time. The best moment to learn is when you actually need the knowledge, and our network fosters that instant, relevant support system.
Shift Complaining Culture
During our experiences, people not only learn from others but also realize that their own company is doing certain things better than they thought. This new perspective reduces complaints and increase appreciation for their company’s strengths.
