Ridgeline - Creating more profitiable behaviours

Behaviour | Teams | Adventure

Erik Vermeulen

Erik Vermeulen has been a Business consultant and international Keynote speaker since 1994. Ridgeline specialises in Corporate Behaviour strategies, allowing companies to create more profitable behaviours by examining how their teams work and how they interact with their employees as well as their customers.

Ridgeline explores trends and behaviours that have shaped the business world, and ones that will be required to motivate and improve performance in a post-recession business world where corporate spin becomes less powerful than customer and employee experience.

Employee Engagement

We pride ourselves on innovative and novel ways to engage employees through medium term programmes. These programmes are never stand alone and never rely on a “novelty factor”. They are strategic and designed in consultation with the strategic business outcomes in mind.

Culture Development

Since 2008 our unique Behavioural Culture Development model has been used with great success in both South Africa and Africa. Built on a solid understanding of engagement, motivation and Behavioural Economics principles, this programme has been rolled out to Comair, Bestmed, Safaricom and First Bank Nigeria and others.

Speaking and Road-shows

Having been on the international conference speaking circuit since 1999, Erik combines unique insights from 25 years of adventure leadership experience and consulting on Behaviour and Human Capital. This has proven to make him a stand-out speaker at conferences and road-shows.

Training

Since 2001 we have been using the Merrill-Reid Grid and transactional Analysis Theory to run a programme called Effective Inter-personal Skills. This is invaluable to build teams, train managers in soft-skills and for all customer facing employees in sales and call-centres. It equips employees with self-awareness and the ability to adapt behaviours.
