For organisations
First work out what is missing. Only then who you need.
Many organisations know something has to happen with data, but not what comes first. We start at the bottleneck and organise the people around it afterwards.
Does this sound familiar?
- Reporting costs manual work every month that nobody else can take over
- A data vacancy has been open for months and draws the wrong responses
- Two departments produce different figures from the same source
- There is an AI ambition, but nobody to deliver it
- The previous supplier left and took the knowledge with them
What is said in the film
Annemiek, action researcher and organisational adviser at Pluut & Partners, speaking. The film is in Dutch and the subtitles are burnt into the image; below is that same text to read.
Waarom zijn jullie als organisatie aan de slag gegaan met AI?
Ja, het idee is ontstaan na een netwerkbijeenkomst. Daar schetste een futurist wat AI voor ons vakgebied zou gaan betekenen.
En hij gaf aan van: ja, het is niet alleen zo dat het werk iets gaat veranderen. Maar het gaat zelfs op het niveau zijn dat rollen ook echt binnen jullie organisatie gaan veranderen.
Het is nu zo'n snel rijdende trein, die ontwikkelingen met AI. Als je er nu niet op instapt dan mis je het.
Dus van daaruit is ook het idee van Chef AI geboren, en ook de samenwerking met DataStudent.
Hoe kijken jullie binnen Pluut & Partners naar de inzet van AI?
Ja, daar hebben we de afgelopen tijd flink aan gewerkt, rondom een heldere visie op AI.
En aan de ene kant zien we veel kansen: om bijvoorbeeld informatie sneller te verwerken, om scherpere analyses te maken, en ook om repetitief werk slimmer en beter uit te voeren.
En aan de andere kant zien we ook wel dat ons werk wel echt mensenwerk is. Dus AI snapt geen persoonlijke context, kan soms ook verkeerde morele standpunten innemen. En het draagt ook geen verantwoordelijkheid over het project.
Dus daarin zeggen we wel van: wij als actieonderzoekers en organisatieadviseurs dragen altijd de verantwoordelijkheid over de keuzes die gemaakt worden binnen het project. En bij uitstek ook het eindresultaat.
Wat als je niets zou doen en dus niet mee zou gaan met de ontwikkelingen?
Ja, stilstand is eigenlijk geen optie. Want wat we zien bij organisaties die niet meegaan met de ontwikkelingen: daarin gaan medewerkers zelf aan de slag, op hun eigen houtje, met AI. En dat brengt risico's met zich mee. In de eerste plaats op het gebied van dataveiligheid.
En dat is ook wel de reden waarom we zoiets hebben van: we moeten hier als organisatie echt op inzetten. En daarin ook de samenwerking met DataStudent opzoeken.
En daarnaast zien we een kans voor AI als sparringpartner. Je kunt AI eigenlijk 24/7 gebruiken om je projectplannen mee te bespreken. En op die manier kun je aannames toetsen, en wordt het projectplan uiteindelijk beter. En het werkt ook voor jezelf verlichtend.
Three routes, one point of contact
You do not have to choose upfront. If it turns out during the conversation that another route fits better, we move across without you starting again.
We draw on our own network for this: Five hundred data, analytics and IT professionals in the Netherlands. That means the question is rarely whether someone is available, but who fits best.

op offerte
Beneath all three routes sits New Data Network: knowledge, events, alumni and partners. You do not pay for that separately.
Do you recognise this, in your department?
Eight departments, each with their own bottleneck. Pick where you sit and you will find what is going on and what solving it delivers.

- SalesWhy does the forecast shift every month?We reduce the pipeline to one set of definitions, make visible where deals stall, and turn that into management information the sales team actually uses.
- MarketingWhich channels work, and which only cost money?We put the measurement in order first (UTMs, consent, definitions) and only then build the report that lets you give a go or no-go per campaign.
- Finance and controlWhy does the monthly close still take eight days?We automate the collecting and checking of the figures, record the definitions, and put variances in view while something can still be done about them.
- OperationsWhy does the bottleneck keep moving somewhere else?We connect the data across the chain, make lead time visible per step, and build a forward-looking model where that pays off.
- Human resourcesWhy do people leave that you did not see leaving?We bring turnover, recruitment lead time and onboarding results together into management information in which a manager recognises their own team.
- Customer serviceWhy do the same questions come back every week?We cluster tickets by content, make sentiment measurable, and decide together which questions lend themselves to an automated answer and which do not.
- Management and strategyPlenty of data, little direction: where do you start?We help you choose, which three drivers steer the result, what rhythm are they discussed in, and when does someone step in.
- IT and dataWhy do two teams see a different number for the same thing?We record definitions where everyone can reach them, put tests and monitoring on the pipelines, and hand that over to the team that maintains it.
For every new collaboration we have planted two trees since 2025, and a symbolic tree grows along with it.
How it works
Introduction
A forty-five minute conversation about what is going wrong now. We arrive without a proposal, because there is nothing to base one on yet.
Diagnosis
We name the bottleneck and which route fits it. If the picture is still vague, the New Data Scan is the fastest way to clarity.
People
We propose who does the work. You speak to them yourself before anything is agreed.
Handover
Scripts and documentation stay with you. We build nothing you remain dependent on, including on us.
No sharp picture yet?
The New Data Scan is a day on site covering five dimensions, ending with a roadmap for 30, 60 and 90 days. Fixed price, no obligation to continue.
Other services
Image generated with AIData and AI training
Your team already uses AI, or wonders what it could do for them. We take that conversation on and turn it into something that sticks.
Visibility & employer branding
Through our media partner we have arranged a sharp deal for you. The film at the top of this page shows what you can expect.
What we get called in for
These fields return across every route. Follow through for what happens in each and which route it runs through. See the nine fields of work.
What the hourly rate includes
The hourly rate is all-in. It covers:
- the professional's gross salary
- holiday pay and holiday days
- pension contribution
- employer's charges and social security contributions
- continued pay during illness
- insurance and liability
- guidance from New Data
- recruitment, selection and administration
Nothing is added on top: no placement fee and no start-up costs.
Would you like to employ them later?
You can, and it costs you nothing extra. With DetaVast you agree a number of hours upfront (from 1,200, roughly seven months full time) and once it is reached you take the professional on at no cost.
No transfer fee, no buy-out, no fuss.
