Ingeborg E.B. Vandepoel is co-owner and founder of Hakkert, Vandepoel
& Partners, a training and consultancy firm in the Netherlands. She
started this firm in 1992, together with René Hakkert. The two common
denominators in her work are learning and co-creating. Ingeborg uses a
social relational constructionist perspective combined with
strength-based methods. Working and learning together gives her great
pleasure and satisfaction.
She studied psychology and education at the university of Leiden (M.A.
in 1988) and at the university of Hasselt she followed the CIGO program
(Consultancy in Groups and Organizations) (1990-1992).
After twenty years of experience, Ingeborg noticed profound changes in
work life circumstances. She came across these changes in many
organizations, raising new issues. Ingeborg became interested in
collaboration at distance and working in (self managing) teams. In 2012
she started a study to find out what challenges we are faced with, what
this means in terms of leadership and how professional trainers/
consultants can contribute. The study generated useful and actionable
knowledge, also resulting in Ph.D. at Tilburg University (2016). The
title of her dissertation is: Collaboration and learning at distance;
scrum in distributed teams and a learning perspective for collaboration.
Ingeborg lives in the Netherlands, is married to René Hakkert and besides her work she enjoys reading, travelling, walking.
