Where it all adds up.
“We create real impact with data and AI by accelerating the positive and responsible adoption of data and AI in your organisation.”
ADC stands for ‘Amsterdam Data Collective’. We are a Data & AI Consultancy rooted in Amsterdam. Our essence is right there in the name: we’ve decided to identify ourselves as a collective, because people thrive in a well-connected group. It’s innately human to feel worthwhile when you are part of a bigger plan. That’s how we can really make a difference.
Yet, the setup of the typical consultancy firm promotes individualism and silo formation. We realised the hard way that this doesn’t get the best out of people, nor out of data. We’ve seen data projects fail, because those involved were working too much on their own, focusing on selling hours and paperwork, biased towards quick wins over long-term impact.
We help organisations accelerate innovation and realise their AI transformation goals.
At ADC we bring together industry and domain expertise and strategy and execution with a comprehensive and pragmatic approach. Our focus extends beyond data fixation, encompassing people, processes, and technology to drive real impact for organisations. We view data as an integral part of a larger whole, enabling us to create meaningful outcomes.
Founding history of ADC
ADC is a Data & AI Consultancy that accelerates the positive and responsible adoption of data and AI. Since 2017, we have quickly grown from three founders – Frank Pardoel, Joël Tjong-A-Tjoe and Rik van der Woerdt – to over 150 of the brightest minds collaborating in Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and Stockholm.
Throughout our journey, we have successfully supported many organisations in achieving their goals by identifying, co-creating, and implementing data-driven solutions. We firmly believe that technology should always serve as a means to an end, not an end in itself. Our initiatives empower organizations to proactively embrace change and shape a brighter future.
