Transition International

Transition International (TI) is a Netherlands-based, international consultancy firm with a network of senior consultants around the world. We are specialised in tackling the challenges of transitions. We promote change for the better through knowledge-sharing, training and advisory services.

TI assists its clients to manage transitions from:

•war to peace •relief to development •insecurity to security •crisis to positive change •poverty to dignity •exclusion to representation •stress to joy... Transitions are always difficult and painful, but they also provide a window of opportunity. The benefits of any transition must be highlighted when seeking a positive outcome. Thus, the process of change will be carried out with good faith, and challenges will be addressed with good will.

Transition International provides knowledge, training and advisory services to the key actors in transition processes in order to make the different stages of transition more transparent, inclusive and sustainable. The services are tailor-made and designed in close consultation with our clients, thus providing great flexibility while delivering timely, high-quality and cost-effective services. We emphasize the end results of transition processes.

TI assists transition designers and implementers, helping to improve the quality of their efforts. We provide governments, international agencies, NGOs, businesses and other organizations with assistance and advice through the process of transition. The end result becomes and stays clear through all steps of the process. TI offers competence in research and data-collection for context analyses, coherent policy and strategy development, programme design and project evaluation. In large projects, TI also delivers short term focused advice. Additionally, training on specific transition issues and trouble-shooting in ongoing projects has become one of TI’s areas of expertise.

TI consists of a number of desks working on specialized sub-areas relevant to transition processes. Each desk provides up-to-date knowledge, designs and implements training programmes, and provides advisory services. The desks are interdependent as TI typically has a multi-disciplinary and holistic approach to transition. The company draws its expertise from its network of consultants under these desks, in a tailor-made and client-oriented manner.

Transition International is a company based upon a network of independent specialists. This platform of professionals, with highly specialized expertise, covers the wide scope of technical fields which are essential in transition processes. TI draws on this pool of knowledge when providing its tailor-made assistance to its clients, often combining the expertise of several consultants in one assignment. This results in a truly multidisciplinary approach and is reflected in the holistic strategies we propose and the products we deliver.
