Do you recognize this?

Meetings are endless, but no one is actually making a decision.

Teams get stuck in symptom management – the real issue remains unresolved.

Brainstorming generates many ideas, but it doesn't provide direction or choices.

Team coaching improves the atmosphere, but not the decision-making process.

You have the best professionals on your team, but you struggle to make good decisions together.

These frustrations are often NOT team problems but process problems.

There is a better way - The TAP Method: Think - Align - Perform

Imagine knowing exactly how to tackle a problem with your team of professionals and take the next step in no time. Faster than your competitors and in a way that saves you a lot of time and money because you no longer need to hold long and pointless meetings. This solution isn't a "one-size-fits-all" or just applying a few tips and tricks. It's deeper and provides you with the best possible methods to apply depending on the situation and the problem at hand. It's based on the latest insights into problem-solving, group dynamics, and action-oriented approaches, and this combination helps you and your team make quicker, better, and more supported decisions so you can move forward. With this method, there are no endless meetings or circular discussions. No vague conclusions or merely addressing symptoms. This approach is called the TAP Method.

Let me introduce myself...

My name is Ton Meeuwissen. For over twenty years, I have been helping teams move forward by bringing structure to collaboration, clarity in decision-making, and focus on what truly matters. I have worked with both small and large organizations, from the operational level to the executive team. What I consistently observe is that teams of professionals want to progress but often get stuck in meetings, repetitions, or indecision. This is where my strength lies. With my background in creative thinking techniques, problem-solving, and my experience as a certified facilitator (including at AJ&Smart and OpenGenius), I guide groups in a visual, practical, and collaborative manner towards concrete choices. No nonsense, no endless discussions—just making effective steps together. Whether you are a consultant, team leader, or independent advisor: if you feel that things could improve, I would be happy to assist you.

👉 Would you like to see if my approach fits your situation? Feel free to schedule a no-obligation conversation, and we can explore this together.
