About us
Pimcy Innovation & Portfolio Management is a network organization of pragmatic innovation professionals. We choose to work with team members who entrepreneur are, with a own expertise. No one can know everything, and it is precisely diversity in backgrounds, approach and knowledge that contribute to success.
Based on the assignment and the client, we determine who is most suitable to carry out the assignment.
Pimcy Innovation & Portfolio Management helps you set up and implement:
- (innovation) strategy, where do we want to go and why?
- portfolio management, how do we ensure that we do the right things and do this in the right way?
- innovation process, how do we get from idea to realization?
- innovation accounting, how do we measure that we are successful?
- Design Thinking tools and techniques, which tools and techniques do we use when and how do we apply them in our context?

Testimonials
After we approached Joyce, she listened carefully and challenged our initial ideas. She developed a tailor-made proposal that addressed much more than what we had in mind: more than learning tools and techniques, we have a program that involves our whole organization to ensure what trainees learn is not 'lost' at the end of the program but becomes 'built-in' our ways of working, a program where trainees become entrepreneurs within a self-managing team, a program that supports our culture change program Go Blue. She was also a perfect coach for me as I am setting up and managing this project within Infrabel ICT. I would definitely recommend contacting Joyce for your innovation-related change project.
In two consecutive years, Joyce made her formidable contribution to the “Cosun Innovation Day” by providing a number of very educational and fascinating workshops. These customer-specifically tailored workshops have contributed to a great extent to offer new insights in the field of properly and quickly mapping the customer's wishes: Customer Journey mapping, Playing Lean and Value Proposition Canvas. One by one very inspiring, relevant and fun workshops!
We have deployed “A Day in the Life of a Startup” in honor of our 50th anniversary with a select group of colleagues and clients. The setup, variety, tension and time pressure of this serious game ensured that you got sucked into it. As a result, we have been able to strengthen the personal bond with clients and we have learned that too many developments in business services are still based on assumptions. We will deal with this differently from now on.
The Pimcy approach is distinctive because theory is immediately translated to one's own situation. We still use a number of the tools provided to ensure that we always reason from the customer in our innovation processes.
Joyce did a good job last year with the initial set-up of portfolio management for Rabobank innovations. She is very knowledgeable, hands on and a lot of fun to work with.
This was a really nice training #designthinking. Currant from the porridge and also directly applicable at healthcare institutions. And also customer of the quarter Pimcy BV | Innovation & Portfolio Management Thanks Joyce Omen.
Joyce's Design Thinking workshops are always highly successful at POLITICO, encouraging innovation, collaboration, team spirit and fun. These workshops proved to be a great opportunity for people from different departments, including Marketing, Sales, Tech or even Legal, to come together to brainstorm and collaborate around product launch. The hands-on activities were fun and engaging and the tools and techniques provided by Joyce proved to be useful to our teams in their day-to-day work. As Learning & Development Coordinator, I see it as a moment to take a step back to reflect on the products we launch, and how each of us is contributing to that effort. It fosters synergies across teams and innovation. Besides the obvious learning opportunity this workshop represents, it's also an amazing team building activity.
