"During this project, I saw how incredibly interesting the challenges are that elderly care is facing: while the group of people needing care keeps growing thanks to our aging population, the group who can provide this care keeps getting smaller. How should the industry solve this at a time when there’s more pressure on budgets, and older people prefer small-scale housing instead of large nursing homes? With our scenario analysis, we were able to provide a realistic glimpse into the future. This helped Zorgpartners to anticipate what they will face in the next twenty years. What’s really unique is that we were able to discuss these findings with the Board of Directors, as well as the directors of all the various locations. This created the feeling of a shared challenge. In addition to the data analysis, I also was impressed that I could speak with so many of Zorgpartners’ collaborators. It was nice to see how open the customers are and how much feedback they have. All in all, I think Zorgpartners will look back on this project as a professional and enjoyable collaboration, where we generated valuable qualitative and quantitative insights in a short period of time. Our advice was used for determining their multi-year strategy, which confirms that our recommendations were well-received by the organization."
