Questions we often hear

Tafelzaken brings people together for conversations that matter. We provide careful facilitation, a thoughtfully prepared meal and a calm, welcoming atmosphere. Not a meeting setup, not a packed agenda but an open and well-prepared dialogue with space for what truly matters. Sharing a meal helps get to the heart of things: with attention for each other, for what is said and for what else may come to the table.

We always look for a beautiful, quiet location anywhere in the Netherlands. Preferably with a homelike feel, so the conversation moves away from the daily work environment.

One table fits up to 10 people. That keeps the conversation personal and ensures everyone has space. Larger group? Then we bring in an additional facilitator. We can extend the table or host multiple tables without losing attention or depth.

That depends on group size, location, and any additional wishes. We always provide a tailor-made proposal. Feel free to get in touch.

Up to 2.5 hours, including arrival and wrap-up. We align the program in advance with your wishes and available time.

Our base is in The Hague, where we know locations and work with trusted caterers. But we’re happy to come elsewhere too, sometimes with our own network, sometimes with local partners. We’ll find what works best for your situation.

Absolutely. We discuss this in advance so that everyone feels welcome.

No. You don’t have to cook. The focus is the conversation, sharing a meal simply supports it. We provide a delicious meal, carefully prepared to fit the moment.

Nee. Je hoeft zelf niet te koken. Het draait om het gesprek, het samen eten ondersteunt dat gesprek. Wij zorgen voor een lekkere maaltijd die met zorg is bereid en past bij het moment.

Only the introductory conversation beforehand. That’s all the preparation you need for the session.

No. We take care of everything: location, food, preparation, and facilitation. All you need to do is take a seat at the table.

We understand that breakfast or lunch during working hours may sometimes feel easier.

Still, we usually host table conversations at dinner. That’s when people truly take the time, step away from the workday, and join with full attention. At other times, that focus is harder to create.

In consultation and under certain conditions, a breakfast or lunch is possible. We’ll explore what works for your situation.

In goed overleg en onder bepaalde voorwaarden is een tafelgesprek tijdens ontbijt of lunch mogelijk. We denken graag mee over wat werkt in jullie situatie.

Please do. We help sharpen the focus in advance, so the conversation really matters.

Not at all. We work with boards and supervisory boards, but also with project teams, partnerships, or other groups who want to take steps together.

That’s exactly when a guided table conversation is valuable. We create a safe atmosphere and we carefully facilitate, so every voice can be heard.

Yes. You’ll receive a short recap of the key insights, agreements, and next steps.

Yes. Sometimes one table conversation is enough. But it can also be valuable to meet more often. We always tailor this to your needs.
