Security & SafetyConnect
for security, anti-terror, security, facility / real estate and the process industry
Learn more ...
SecurityConnect put people back in the center of surveillance, security, information-driven action and safe working.
SecurityConnect solutions are based on the power of observation and decision power of people and human networks. Sensors, video systems and machine learning play a useful role as an extension of people, but are ultimately limited when it comes to information-driven action, the detection of weak signals and the handling of uncertain situations.
SecurityConnect solutions are almost always continuously active and therefore almost always consist of a combination of an observation point for making and interpreting observations. by guards, operators, facility staff, safety officers, managers and / or regular employees and a number of back-office systems and services for the continuous evaluation of the situation, controlling the operation and periodic reassessment of uncertainties in the safety and / or security situation .
SecurityConnect applications are usually secret. Naming customers and describing specific applications is therefore not possible. In the Netherlands, StoryConnect works together with Q-Share in IBISS for SecurityConnect applications for surveillance and security culture.

Coach & HumanConnect
narrative alternatives for employee research, HR development and coaching. One-off or continuous.
Learn more ...
HumanConnect is an innovative form of employee experience research in which events that tell people about their work form the basis.
CoachConnect is a variant focused on coaching networks and on providing insight into the impact (result) of coaching people within large organizations.
Because every organization wants (must) be unique, HumanConnect and CoachConnect are always tailor-made. The focus can be on experiences about:
- Motivation / demotivation
- Work pressure / boredom
- Management / leadership
- Actract/captivate/bore/dropping out
- Ethics
- To learn
- Success / failure
- Personal / team functioning
- Knowledge transfer
- Sales effectiveness
- Energy
- Security (physical and emotional)
- Stress
Employees share their experiences (anonymously or optionally) via a storytelling point and answer questions about their experience, the impact of the experience on themselves and the context in which it took place. After an extensive pattern evaluation you will optionally receive an advice report or we will organize a number of work meetings in which you build up employees or management insights and subsequently make improvement proposals that you can implement.
Optionally, HumanConnect can be combined with regular employee perception research to ensure continuity or to enable benchmarking within the sector. HumanConnect can also be implemented as a continuous HR process.
