Origin and identity

A high professional standard and based on science

GITP was founded in 1947 in collaboration with the Nijmegen University and the Tilburg School of Economics. The objective was to contribute to economic restructuring of the Netherlands after WWII employing the most modern scientific insights, based on the philosophy that the right man or woman must be at the right job. This origin is still fully in force in our identity: socially involved, focused on business economy value, a high professional standard and based on science.


Social bonding
The world is changing at lightning speed: from a crisis to scarcity, competitive pressure and scarce talents.
GITP keeps a close eye on society-wide and economic developments. In the coming years there will be a need for performing better. This will demand a great deal from organisations and individuals, but will also provide opportunities to tackle HRM problems in an innovative way. We study what is required to function vigorously in a complex environment. We fund university chairs and support research, we understand what is going on in diverse sectors (profit, non-profit and government) and we provide ethical and sustainable solutions for good governance and healthy labor relations, lifelong learning and finding, retaining and developing talent.

GITP supports you in getting started with professionalisation and employability of your employees, allowing you to anticipate the future and flexibly move along with the requirements an ever more complex environment demands.


Roots in science
GITP applications are founded in science. We have our own research and development department which provides a set of state-of-the art instruments. This not only makes us reliable, but innovative as well.
Together with universities, we study how people and organisations can function effectively in ever more complex and demanding social and business economy environments. We do research on current social themes; we have our own research programme and we develop innovative HRD instruments. Our private GITP academy provides schooling and development for our consultants.


Decisive consultants
GITP offers customer-oriented, highly educated, skilled and energetic consultants. They fathom relevant social issues and trends and know what their impact is on HR. Our consultants know your market and sector and are decisive in multi-disciplinary teams. They combine a broad know-how of and experience with HRD with their own specialised knowledge.
