At PNA, we believe in co-creation. In collaboration. Because through cross-pollination, through the exchange of knowledge and information, you can grow and add value. Collaborations drive our innovation. PNA has always worked closely with innovative projects in the areas of knowledge, data, processes and communication.
With various parties, we have formulated common strategic goals and share interests in the field of knowledge management. In doing so, PNA is always open to new partners, no matter what sector they come from. For us, an open and innovative mentality is paramount.
Just as PNA does not think in standard solutions, we are also creative in our relationships with current and future clients: we believe in partnerships that benefit both parties. Connections from which both parties learn and solutions that are customized. And because we believe in the products and services we deliver with customers, we are also regularly part of consortia. We hope you will be inspired and would love to hear your ideas.
Perhaps that is the beginning of our joint success.

The ELSA Lab Financial Health, Poverty and Debt is part of the Brightlands Smart Services Campus and aims to use data science and AI to reduce and prevent poverty and problematic debt in the Netherlands. PNA is part of this ELSA Lab, as we can contribute to this objective because of our focus on knowledge and “explainable AI.” In addition, Maurice Nijssen, director of PNA, is a board member of the Brightlands Business Club, which establishes connections between entrepreneurs and the Brightlands organization.

The Dutch health care system is in flux. From one and the same treatment for everyone, we are moving to care that is specifically tailored to the individual. This type of care is called precision medicine. In late 2019, the Personalized Healthcare Catalyst Foundation was established with the goal of accelerating the transition to personalized care. PNA has also joined the alliance.
The Institute for Brilliant Failures (IvBM) aims to foster an environment for entrepreneurship through learning to manage risk and appreciate and learn from failure. PNA is working with IvBM on BriMis, a digital learning environment that IvBM can use to facilitate organizational learning in a simple and engaging way.
Knowtice supports organizations in a dynamic, knowledge-driven economy. She developed the Knowledge Scorecard for this purpose. This is a tool that allows these organizations and their employees to understand the value of knowledge, reduce risks and take advantage of opportunities. Despite the realization that knowledge is incredibly important, a systematic overview of the knowledge capital in organizations is still hardly done. This results in blind spots with dire consequences. With the Knowledge Scorecard, Knowtice introduces a method and a tool to perform the necessary analyses easily and independently. The solution is based on both scientific research and practical experience. The Knowledge Scorecard can be used by anyone with an interest in measuring, improving and predicting a company’s performance. The tool therefore offers applications for various audiences such as investors, boards of directors, managers, employees, consulting firms and accountants. Knowtice comes from a collaboration between PNA, COMPO and KnocoM.
