About Mirjam Altena

Mirjam Altena is a trainer at Human Insight, renowned for her ability to turn abstract concepts like cultural change into something tangible and actionable. With years of experience, she helps organisations understand the true essence of collaboration. What drives us in teams? Why does one person see something as normal, while another finds it baffling?

Mirjam is also the author of De Motor van de Organisatie (The Engine of the Organisation), where she shares her insights on how teams can function at their best, avoiding the common pitfalls of miscommunication and friction. Her approach invites us to stay curious – about ourselves, about others, and about the hidden dynamics that influence how we work together.

If anyone can help teams and individuals navigate the complexities of collaboration, it’s Mirjam, both through her training and her writing.

”If anyone can get people moving, it’s Mirjam.”

Habits

The Art of Effortless Change

Picture this: You’ve been part of a change programme in your organisation for what feels like forever. It’s endless. The goals seem elusive, and somehow, change always feels just out of reach. But why is that? Why is it so hard to create real change in organisations? And more importantly, why do we keep trying when even personal change – like breaking a small habit – feels nearly impossible?

Teaming and Collaboration

The Engine of the Organisation; How to Keep Your Team Running at Full Speed (Without Overheating)

Imagine your team as the engine of a high-performance car. When it’s running smoothly, it’s unstoppable – achieving goals, pushing boundaries, and working together seamlessly. But what happens when the engine starts to overheat? When friction, gossip, and misunderstandings start to creep in?

Corporate Anthropology and the Liminal Phase

Business as Usual & Change at the Same Time – Is That Really Possible?

Change in business can often feel like walking a tightrope – balancing the old with the new, business as usual with transformation. You can’t just stop what you’re doing, because let’s face it, your organisation depends on it. But at the same time, you need to move forward, to innovate, to change. So how do you navigate that space, where you’re no longer where you were, but not yet where you want to be?
