Partnership
Dyade contributes to the quality of education and childcare
Dyade does this by unburdening, supporting and inspiring boards, directors and employees. This allows them to focus on their primary tasks and continue to develop themselves and their organization.
Dyade is one of the largest service providers and market leader in the field of business management for educational institutions and child care. Dyade works for school boards with a total of about 40 thousand employees. With an average of 10 students per employee at a school, Dyade thus works for the future of 400 thousand children. In doing so, they indirectly make a socially substantial and relevant contribution to the future of the children of the Netherlands.
Dyade has existed since 1656 and provides its services anno 2023 with some two hundred employees.
Joining forces of WIAL
and Dyade Academy
Training is in the DNA of both WIAL (Word Institute for Action Learning) and the Dyade Academy. For more than 15 years, both organizations are the trainers of 'teaching and 'care' Netherlands! With high quality conferences, trainings and courses that inspire, stimulate and provide professionals in education and care with practical tools to move organizations forward. The meetings also take place in our new top location central in the Netherlands: the Dyade Visma Education Experience Center.
WIAL Netherlands supports Dyade to make Action Learning part of its offering and Dyade deploys a number of programs of WIAL Netherlands to offer to educational institutions and childcare centers. We will also continue to develop in a joint offering.
HISTORY
The founder of action learning is Professor Dr Reg Revans, the first Professor of Business Administration in England.
With action learning, Revans has given an important place to the impact of the role of non-expert in the process of problem solving, distinguishing between knowledge and wisdom (experience).
The first publications date back to before 1945. Since then, there has been a lot of experimentation, research and help for many teams and organisations worldwide with Action Learning.
Reg Revans was a mentor in this field to Prof. Dr. Michael Marquardt, who in 2005, together with Prof. Dr. Bea Carson and Prof. Dr. Skip Leonard, placed the ideas of Reg Revans in the WIAL foundation, with the ambition of being able to support many more people and organisations worldwide with action learning.
