Estd. 1984
Three decades of consultancy and training experience
In 1984, Gunther Wolf and his two partners set up a company in the Netherlands. Its main focus was on management development, outdoor training, sales seminars, customer and marketing incentives, water sports and parachuting. In those days we still called ourselves “Indoor Outdoor Management Development”, but the name appears to have been a bit too long for our customers’ liking: they simply called us “the people from I.O.”
The name stuck. We’re glad it did, for what could be better than having a name given to us by our own customers?
