"This mixture of many years of experience in training, implementation and business consulting and the knowledge that you have always developed a solution for every customer problem is what sets you apart. I always find working with you to be highly goal-oriented and very pleasantly relaxed."
Business consulting, training and implementation since 1984
Experience in business consulting, training and implementation
Four decades of experience, four decades of innovation, four decades of customer focus
On April 1, 1984, Gunther Wolf and two partners laid the foundations for today’s company on the Dutch island of Texel. Since then, the entire company has changed considerably, but much has remained the same.
Innovation with experience
We have continuously modernized and developed many significant innovations for our customers. In doing so, we have always taken care to retain everything that has proven itself in practice. And that’s how we do it today.
The following business purposes were noted in the company’s founding charter in 1984: management development, outdoor training, sales seminars, customer and sales incentives, water sports and parachuting.
First experiences with outdoor training
We were the first training institute on the European continent to offer outdoor training in addition to “normal” courses, seminars and training sessions. We have always been characterized by our ability to develop and disseminate meaningful innovations.
At that time, the company was still called “Indoor Outdoor Management Development”. But the name was probably a little too long. That’s why our customers always referred to us as “the people from I.O.”
“The people from I.O.”
So in 1989, we took advantage of the company’s relocation to Germany to change our name. There’s nothing better than being called what our customers have christened us!
When we moved into Villa Engels at the turn of the millennium and brought all our business consultancy and training activities together under one roof, the term “I.O. Group” was used for the group of companies for the first time. Today, all business units, competence centers and the so-called projects belong to the I.O. Group® Wolf® consultancy group.
