PUM NL Senior Experts – Sustainable Inclusive Business

PUM works with 2000 senior experts who share their knowledge on a one-on-one basis either through short-term and repetitive advisory missions at the work floor, or through online coaching activities.

The PUM NL strategy involves a programme-based working method in order to realise more impact. Carrying out a series of missions for several entrepreneurs within the same chain or sector leads to better implementation of advice; a new strategy or technological method will be better developed by the receiving party(/ies).
