Dandelion Strategies is a boutique consultancy that helps organizations turn culture into a strategic advantage. Founded in 2009 by Ernst Schipper, we bring more than 20 years of experience in employer branding and company culture to help organizations align their people, purpose, and performance.
We work with organizations that recognize culture is not just about engagement or communication: it is how strategy comes to life. When growth outpaces clarity, when your story sounds strong externally but doesn’t resonate internally, we help reconnect what you stand for with how people experience it every day.
Using a proven model, we uncover what makes your culture unique and align it with your business goals. We define or refresh your Employer Value Proposition, translate values into behaviors, build scalable teams, and create consistent programs that make culture a driver of lasting performance.
Organizations with strong, values-driven cultures see up to 30% higher performance and 20% faster revenue growth.
We know that a compelling employer brand is one of the most tangible expressions of culture. It’s how you attract and retain people who believe in what you stand for. When your employer brand and culture move in harmony, you create consistency between what you promise and what people experience. That’s where true engagement begins.
Companies that deliver on their EVP see up to 70% lower turnover and significantly stronger onboarding engagement.
Our approach works across people, departments, and borders. We strengthen connections without flattening the differences that make your organization distinctive.
Our work spans strategy, consultancy, and project management — supported by workshops, training and keynotes that inspire action. Everything we do is tailored to your organization and designed to create measurable impact.
At Dandelion Strategies, we believe actively promoting your culture is not a nice-to-have. It is your most enduring advantage.
