We operate under strict confidentiality. We respect our clients' need for discretion as they navigate strategic shifts. Rest assured, we have been working with some of Belgium's finest organizations since 2024, and the results are proven. If we meet, we can share relevant, anonymized examples in a confidential setting.

No. Our focus is the Intelligence Age itself, the era where new and existing technologies fundamentally change how business is done. We never start with the technology (the 'means'). We start with your ambition: What do you want to achieve? Our job is to define the right direction and determine what is worth building to reach that goal. Because we are an initiative of the Cronos technology group, our focus is always on creating strategies that lead to deployable, scalable, and impactful technical solutions.

We are a strategic brand of the Cronos Group, not a separate company. This structure is intentional. We were created as a dedicated strategic initiative to help clients focus on building the right things. This setup gives us the speed and strategic focus of a boutique firm, backed by the deep technical execution power of Cronos's 9,000 experts. We exist solely to ensure that technical power is applied to the right strategic goal.

We are the bridge between the two. Traditional consultancy is often too mathematical—it applies a standard formula to every company. Creative agencies often lack the business rigor. We believe you can’t build a future on a spreadsheet alone. We look at the numbers, but also at the "intangibles", your culture, your brand, and the human reasons why customers choose you. We don't want to change you into something unrecognizable; we want to help you evolve into a stronger version of yourself.

Most consultancies deliver a slide deck and walk away. We deliver a result. Because we are part of the Cronos Group, we are pragmatic by nature. We are thinkers who understand how building actually works. We don’t deliver "theory" that falls apart in the development phase. We design strategies that are meant to be built, launched, and used.

Norden focuses on the direction: defining where to play, what to build, and why. For the execution, we bring in the power of Cronos, 9,000 experts across every technology imaginable. We act as the architects who ensure the builders stay true to the vision. We don't code, but we ensure the code serves the business.

You get a decision. Whether it is a North Star Vision (where are we going?), a Roadmap (how do we get there?), or a specific Concept (what does it look like?), you leave with a clear path forward. We don't just hand over a report; we stay involved to connect the dots, brief the technical teams, and guide the project to reality.

Not necessarily. Strategy is useless if it costs so much you have nothing left to build it. We offer different engagement levels, from a focused "Inspire" session to set your priorities, to a full "Transform" track. We fit the scope to your reality.

Because technology is a commodity. Anyone can buy the same AI tools you have. The only thing your competitors cannot copy is your identity, your culture, your history, and your unique relationship with customers. If your strategy doesn't feel like you, it will fail. That is why we start there.

You work with the people you meet. We don't pitch with senior partners and then hand the project over to junior analysts. The experts you see on our website, Kristel, Jo, Daan, are the ones digging into your strategy and guiding your teams. We keep our core team small and senior for a reason.

No. If you wait for perfect data, you will never start. Assessing your readiness is part of our process. We help you identify what you have, what is missing, and how to move forward with what is available. We don't need a perfect foundation to build a vision; we build the vision to help you fix the foundation.
