The Science of Working Together

Who We Are

We're your R&D cell behind the scenes that helps you achieve behavioral and cultural change

“So here’s your culture. Now push this button and… congratulations! You’ve just changed your culture.” Sounds pretty straightforward, right? Sorry to break it to you, but it’s not that simple. Culture is not only a fluffy concept that’s hard to pin down. It’s also unclear how you can actually change it. Luckily there’s decades of scientific research on topics like behavioural change, innovation and culture that could help you out. The thing is, that knowledge has mainly been lying in the basements of our universities for the past decades.

We’re changing that. The Forge is a Ghent University spin-off with years of experience in translating and applying behaviour. Not in a boring, dry, academic way. But in an accessible, down-to-earth and concrete way.

So why wait? Get in touch and we help you reach your full potential!

Ghent University

The Forge is a Ghent University Spin-off

There's tons of evidence-based knowledge on topics like innovation, behaviour or cultural change. On how to stimulate change. On what works and what doesn’t work. The knowledge is there, but it got stuck in the basements of our universities.

We liberate that knowledge for you!
