The Racing Stable

Meet The Member Company and take a step into the future. And meet The Racing Stable, TMC's members. The company calls them employeneurs, both employees and entrepreneurs. These highly qualified engineers are fascinated by their projects, determined to give their best to the clients they're working for, and eager to get the best out of themselves.

In the two decades of its existence, high-tech consultancy TMC developed a business model based on five principles: business cells, individual profit-sharing, a long-term relationship, a YOUniversity (which includes personal coaching) and an Entrepreneurial Lab. With these, it offers its employeneurs the tools to develop themselves professionally and personally. And it offers its clients top-level experts who help them develop their new core technologies of the future.
 
Using a localized internationalization strategy, TMC has expanded to ten countries on three continents. It is driven by a staunch belief in progress and human potential, has a forward-looking, non-hierarchical, anti-managerial culture, and has contributed to a revaluation of technology, engineering, and manufacturing in its home base in the Netherlands. Maybe its most fundamental characteristic is Wisdom of Insecurity, which has given it the resilience to thrive, even in three global crises.

Marcel Metze (1952) is a Dutch historian and corporate biographer. In this book, which he wrote at TMC's invitation, he gives an inside view of the company, based on candid interviews, colorful reports and crucial key documents. Metze has previously written books about - among others - Philips Electronics, the Dutch banking sector, and the restructuring of Rijkswaterstaat (the national Dutch infrastructure agency). His next project is a political biography of Royal Dutch Shell.
