Marianne Van Groeningen

Marianne Van Groeningen is the Partner leaders call when innovation and digital transformation stop looking like slideware and start hitting reality. She tackles the real failure points of modern change work: scattered strategy, misaligned culture, and technology that runs faster than people can follow. Working across European markets, she operates where AI, leadership, and organizational design collide, and she treats that collision as a design problem, not a fate. While most companies obsess over tools or trends, Marianne keeps her focus locked on how vision, people, and systems either work together or quietly sabotage each other.

Her edge starts with how she sees the whole system. Marianne combines human-centered design with systems thinking to diagnose the chain reactions that derail transformation long before the metrics show trouble. She zeroes in on three pillars that decide the outcome of any serious change: strategy with clear vision and mindset, people with the right culture and skills, and systems with technology and process that actually fit. Most practitioners work one pillar at a time. She aligns all three so leaders can move from bold intent to disciplined execution. The result is not theory. It shows up as teams that adopt new ways of working, organizations that execute on digital roadmaps, and leaders who can steer transformation instead of reacting to it.

In high pressure moments, Marianne brings a steady, no-drama presence that keeps leaders focused on the levers that matter. She connects strategic thinking to concrete plans and operational excellence so decisions made in the boardroom survive contact with the front line. Her style is pragmatic, human-first, and free of noise, which gives leaders the clarity to navigate the 70 percent failure rate that haunts most transformations and join the minority who make change stick. Work with Marianne and you get more than a coach. You get a partner who turns AI-era disruption into a controlled, deliberate advantage.
