Civil society

Alongside businesses and public authorities, De Ruijter Strategy assists organisations that carry out a public task or serve a societal goal. Think of autonomous public bodies, NGO’s, educational institutions, healthcare organisations and non-profit organisations.

These organisations also have a need to have control over the future and are often confronted with different stakeholders and interests. We support them in process design and facilitation, trend exploration, scenarios and defining a vision and strategy.
