Teams That
Reached Their
Next Level

Real programmes. Real teams. Real results. Here is what happens when organisations commit to understanding what actually drives their people.

Case Study 01 — Belgium

Arcsom:
3 Days on the
Adriatic Sea

Arcsom is a Belgian technology company. Their leadership team came to ArrowHead with a clear challenge: they were performing, but they wanted to understand each other better — what drives each person, where the friction comes from, and what was collectively missing from the team dynamic.

Fred Van de Walle designed a 3-day Management Drives programme aboard a 45-foot catamaran on the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia. Away from the office, on the water, with nowhere to hide — the perfect conditions for honest leadership work.

Management Drives — Individual + Team profiles

Result
Stronger team trust, clearer communication, individual action plans
Day One

Individual Drives

Each participant received their Management Drives profile debrief — motivators, rejections, blind spots, and behaviour under stress. Named, not guessed. The foundation for everything that followed.

Day Two

Team Drives

The individual profiles were mapped collectively. The team saw their combined profile — what drives the group, where tensions come from, and critically, what the team was collectively missing. The missing links are where teams lose performance.

Day Three

Open Feedback

Structured open feedback between all team members — what each person observes in others that the other doesn't see in themselves. Done well, this is the most valuable session of any leadership programme.

What Participants Said

Your personal business profile gives you valuable insights into your behaviour in various situations. You learn to understand your own drives and motivations. It also provides a clear picture of how they influence your leadership style and the impact on your team members. Gaining insight into these patterns helps you continue your personal development and grow as a leader.

Kjell Colsoul
Managing Director
Bananas · Belgium

We had an excellent team-building day with our management team, featuring a great mix of play, mental and physical activities. Fred is an outstanding mentor, supporting us and helping our team reach the next level.

Daniel Aumer
ICT Director
Randstad · Belgium

We asked Fred to organise a team day that would both teach our management team something new and bring fun and self-awareness. Fred succeeded brilliantly. He offered something for everyone, perfectly combining physical, intellectual, and playful elements. What impressed me most was his creativity in bringing everything together into one meaningful whole.

Ellen Driesen
HR Director
Randstad · Belgium

The ArrowHead concept is unique and well thought out. Individual profiles become clear, and different leadership dynamics are demonstrated through practical experiences. Combining training with arctic survival is an ideal way to turn theory into practice. You get the chance to experience everything firsthand and spend a night outdoors in a self-built shelter. This unique experience makes your team stronger.

Kristof Albrecht
Key Account Manager B2B
Samsung · Belgium

I work in a Fintech environment and interact daily with many expert profiles. As a generalist, I sometimes found it difficult to connect with them. The Management Drives training helped me better understand my own drivers and those of others, and how to bridge differences. Fred did an excellent job explaining the model and my personal profile in a concise and clear way. As a result, I now better understand thinking patterns and can anticipate more effectively.

Stefaan De Geest
Director of Operations
Worldline · Belgium

The individual profiles helped me better understand my own motivations and those of my colleagues. After a quick course on making fire on snow and navigation exercises with map and compass, we found the place to build our own survival shelter. Cooking your own meal under the northern lights and realising you will spend the night outside at −18°C were my highlights. This experience truly pushes you out of your comfort zone — one that will be remembered at the office for a long time.

The Arcsom Team — Croatia Expedition

It was luxurious to be able to work on the team for 3 days in focus. Management Drives allows you to recognise the drives of the team and, more importantly, discover the missing ones. This session was just the beginning.

Ronald Vanden Driessche
CVO
Arcsom · Belgium

Fred guided us through Management Drives and gave us a better understanding of our team's strengths and challenges. Through play and discussion, we continued to build on the company's future together.

Kris Van Bastelaer
COO
Arcsom · Belgium

A perfect way to understand yourself and your team members — what drives you, how to deal with it, and what the team can work on. The result is a relaxed, stronger, and focused team.
