Who we are

Transformation Leadership as a Service

Quality Transformation GmbH is a boutique firm for transformation leadership as a service. We provide organizations with experienced transformation partners who step in where internal capabilities are not yet sufficient to successfully drive complex transformation.

We are not a traditional consulting firm.
We don’t just advise—we take responsibility.

Our transformation partners are highly experienced senior professionals with a strong track record in leading complex transformations across industries and geographies. They lead and enable transformations across digital and AI-enabled, operational, organizational, cultural, customer experience, and strategic domains—always with a clear focus on measurable impact.

While positioned as partners to your organization, they operate with the mindset and accountability of transformation leaders—driving progress, making aligned decisions, and ensuring execution.

A defining characteristic of Quality Transformation is our seniors-only, no-leverage model. Every engagement is delivered directly by seasoned experts. There are no junior teams and no delegation layers—clients work exclusively with individuals who have led transformations themselves and can take ownership from day one.

We deliberately focus on the leadership gaps that determine transformation success or failure. Rather than duplicating existing capabilities, our transformation partners complement internal leadership teams with the experience, judgment, and execution strength that are often missing in critical transformation moments.

Our work is role-based and impact-driven. As transformation partners, we embed into the organization while acting with the clarity, authority, and accountability of external leaders. We take on roles such as transformation lead, program head, or trusted counterpart to senior executives—ensuring that strategy is translated into execution and sustained results.

Quality Transformation combines hands-on leadership, targeted consulting, and executive coaching in one integrated model—delivering immediate impact while strengthening internal capabilities for long-term success.

One of our key differentiator is our flexible, part-time engagement model. Our transformation partners are involved exactly when they are needed—at critical decision points, during key phases of execution, when experience in specific leadership capabilities are missing or when challenges arise. This ensures:

  • Continuous access to top-tier transformation leadership without unnecessary overhead

  • High-impact involvement focused on what truly matters

  • The ability to scale support up or down as the transformation evolves

We operate with a flexible, high-impact engagement approach:

  • Short-term transformation diagnostics and quality assurance

  • Targeted leadership and consulting assignments

  • Executive and transformation coaching

  • Long-term companion programs for sustained transformation journeys

With a global footprint and a pragmatic, results-oriented mindset, Quality Transformation stands for:

  • Experience

  • A partner on your side — A leader when it matters.

  • Part-time or full-time, but available when you need us.

  • Setup & execution leadership instead of just advice.

  • Real impact instead of theoretical change.

CEO & Senior transformation partner

Erik van Haaren


After 30 years of consulting, of which 25 years in leadership and advisory positions in transformation programs in Europe, Asia and the Americas, I decided to take that expertise and launch Quality Transformation in 2017.

Before that time I had various consulting and (senior) leadership roles in larger and niche consulting companies. My primary focus has always been Business & IT enabled Transformations.

The reason why I started Quality Transformation is to deliver quality and sustainable results in our clients transformation initiatives, jointly with a network of senior advisors which think alike. Nothing more and nothing less.

Besides leading Quality Transformation and working as a Senior Transformation Partner for several of our clients, I am also a member of Tania Morgan & Co. Via this organization I support my South Africa based clients with Leadership coaching.

If you need leadership support, simply want to connect or want to reflect on ideas you have about transforming companies, just contact me.
