    Change Management increases the chance of your project succeeding

    Organisations are constantly changing and evolving in order to remain successful.

    Yet changes such as digitisation or process improvement often fail because leaders and project teams focus too much on the technical aspects of change.

    For change to be successful, organisations must also focus on the human side, ensuring that each individual embraces and adopts the change.

    Freestone supports companies during and after Corona with new office issues

    Will there be a post-corona time? We rather hear our Belgian virologists talk about 'living with Corona'. Among other things, social distancing will probably become the "new normal" for a long time to come. This of course also has its influence on our workplace and how we organise ourselves. How do you deal with this as an organisation? What steps do you have to take in order to be able to organize yourself to the maximum?

    Advantages of a 5-7-9 lease for offices

    When our (often foreign) clients ask us what the standard term of an office rental contract is in Belgium, we refer in the first instance to the classic 3-6-9 terms that apply as 'generally accepted principles'. These principles are often confused with 'legal' periods that can be taken or allowed to be taken. Not so! Office tenant and landlord are free to agree on what they want. But what does the tenant best agree on in terms of time limits?
