Partnership proposal · for Van Ede & Partners

Human guidance, amplified by intelligence.

Van Ede gives work meaning — the coaches, the trust, the Sociaal Plan mandates. FrankX adds the intelligence layer: AI-guided formats, already proven in the field. This page proposes one small, reversible first step.

Everything here is an existing format, delivered as-is, at a fixed fee. Nothing to build. Proven, ready, fast to book.

Van Ede · the human layerFrankX · the intelligence layer

Human guidance, amplified by intelligence. The coach stays in the room. The intelligence does the heavy lifting around them.

What FrankX brings

Two proven formats. Fixed fees. Ready to book.

No custom software, no co-development. Two things Van Ede can put to work this quarter.

PROVEN FORMATFor clients in transition

AI-Guided Direction Workshops

2.5 hours, live, human-led, AI-guided. For Van Ede clients in transition. Delivered as-is from a format that already works — which is why booking takes days, not months. Three ready variants:

Direction in the AI Era — Ikigai and purpose, with AI as a mirror, not an oracle.
AI-Powered Job Search — CV, LinkedIn and interview prep with modern tools, done right.
Launch Lean with AI — For Leergang Ondernemerschap participants — one person, a real business, AI as the first team.

Fixed fee per cohort, billable against the training budgets nearly every Sociaal Plan already carries.

New revenue from money already allocated.

For the coaches

Coach Enablement — AI Fluency for Consultants

A half-day masterclass plus a ready-made toolkit for Van Ede coaches and psychologists.

Session prep and synthesis in minutes.
Client-safe AI use — privacy, boundaries, and what never to delegate.
Consistent quality across offices.

Fixed fee per session.

Every coach more productive, the brand visibly modern.

Why now

The economics line up this year.

Budget already allocated

€3,500+ per-employee training budgets already sit in nearly every Sociaal Plan, and today they flow to external providers. These workshops let Van Ede capture spend that is already committed.

Candidates expect it

People in transition now face an AI-shaped labor market. They expect the partner guiding them through it to be fluent in it.

The position is open

"The AI-forward outplacement partner" is an unclaimed position in the Dutch market. It is there for whoever moves first.

Why this proposal, from this person

“I have sat on both sides of this table. I am a Van Ede client in transition — and the architect who spent four years building AI systems for Europe’s largest enterprises. I know exactly where intelligence belongs in this work — and where only a human coach will do.”

See the workshops practice

The first step

One cohort. One measurement. One decision.

One 2.5-hour workshop for one outplacement cohort, with Van Ede coaches observing. Participant clarity scored before and after, same-day coach feedback, and a one-page outcome report within a week. Then Van Ede decides whether to make it a standing format.

Run

One cohort, coaches in the room.

Measure

Clarity scored before and after; same-day feedback.

Decide

One-page report within a week. Then choose.

Risk to Van Ede: one room, one afternoon. No license, no commitment, no exclusivity. Because the format already exists, the first cohort can run within weeks.

Where this can go

Once workshops run, natural extensions exist — AI-supported trajectories, joint propositions toward corporate clients. We’ll explore those only if the workshops prove themselves first.
