I help leaders see what's really going on inside their organisation.

Using my proprietary 9outcomes® diagnostic, I map your company across 9 dimensions of health — strategy, structure, and people. Then I go one level deeper: each manager gets an individual profile. The two levels talk to each other. You see not just what's broken, but who needs what.

Most tools tell you how to run your company. This one tells you what's actually wrong with it.

Who is it for

Leaders of 15–200+ person companies who recognise one of these

Growing companies · 15–80 employees

"I promoted my best engineer to manager and she's drowning."

Leadership + MHP

"We grew from 15 to 35 and nobody knows who's responsible for what."

Structure + Accountability

"I spend all my time firefighting instead of on strategy."

Clarity + Execution

"I hired a strong COO six months ago and things got worse, not better."

Structure + Leadership

"Our best people keep leaving and the exit interviews tell me nothing useful."

Talent + Growth + Leadership

"I know what needs to change. I've known for a year. It just doesn't happen."

Execution + Leadership

Scaling companies · 80–200+ employees

"I have 20 managers and I could rank maybe 5 with confidence. The other 15 — I genuinely don't know if they're good or if their teams are carrying them."

MHP · Full layer

"We keep investing in leadership programmes — off-sites, coaching, workshops — and nothing sticks. Six weeks later it's back to the old patterns."

Leadership + MHP

"I promoted people into management because they were great at their job. Now I have 20 managers, and maybe 6 of them are actually leading."

MHP · Species mismatch

Every quarter you wait, the problem compounds. What's discomfort today will be a departure in six months — and a crisis you can't work around in a year.

Preliminary signal — surface level9outcomes®

Strategy

Organisation

People

Ethos

Strategic Clarity

Does everyone know where you're going and why? When weak, priorities exist on slides but not in weekly work.

Structural Identity

Does your structure reflect who you actually are? When weak, the org chart is fiction. Nobody knows who decides what.

Leadership

Do leaders at every level set direction and build trust? When weak, the CEO is the only real leader in the building.

Identity & Direction. Do you know who you are and where you're going? This is the foundation — without it, execution has nothing to aim at.

Engine

Execution Discipline

Do priorities actually move forward week to week? When weak, activity is mistaken for progress.

Accountability

Does everyone know what they own? When weak, everything is everyone's job — which means it's nobody's job.

Talent & Motivation

Do people have the capability and motivation to deliver? When weak, quiet quitting and motivation erosion set in.

Execution & Capability. Does your machine actually work? Strategy that doesn't translate into weekly action isn't strategy — it's a wish.

Evolution

Market Relevance

Are you building what the market actually needs next? When weak, the company is internally focused.

Adaptability

Can the organisation change shape when it needs to? When weak, every change is met with resistance.

Growth & Learning

Are people and the organisation getting better over time? When weak, the same mistakes repeat quarterly.

Adaptation & Growth. Is the world changing faster than you are? This layer looks outward — at your market, your ability to adapt, and whether your organisation is learning fast enough to stay ahead.

Humanics say

"The ship was steered by two captains. Frederic delivered a clear report: the risks and pain points of the company, laid bare. He raised difficult topics in a soft, moderating way — but made crystal clear what was at stake. At the same time he taught me to stay close to myself as a person, and as a CEO."

Julie Depypere
CEO, Brouwerij St.Bernardus

"Frederic is a human whisperer who knows how to approach our strengths and weaknesses to make us more effective and professional. I invest in his time and in turn get so much time back to invest in mine. The insights he provided helped me perform better and especially more happily."

Jilles D'hulsters
Owner, Rostekop

"His strongly developed human compass and emotional intelligence is without question Frederic's greatest asset. He listens without judgment, enriches intuition with courage, and underpins advice with psychological insight. No one-size-fits-all — he looks at the full potential of a business in all its dimensions."

Pieter Verdonck
Owner, Klapp

About

Frederic Merlin

I've sat in your chair. As CEO of various companies, I learned that organisational problems are almost never where they're visible. Most are treated at the surface. I look for where they originate — and that's almost never the same place.

My own 9outcomes® framework maps how strategy, structure and people interact, so you address the mechanism behind the symptom, not the symptom itself. It's built from what I've seen work — and fail — from the inside.

I work with Belgian companies of 15 to 200+ employees — including individual business units within larger organisations. Growth, restructuring, mergers, turnarounds: the moments when organisational health determines whether it works or not.

Based in Belgium, with international experience. I know the local culture — and bring a broader perspective.

I focus on what is said and what is not. What gets done and what doesn't. The gap between the two is where the real diagnosis lives.

"As a production manager, Frederic challenged me because he saw my potential. His guidance and feedback were decisive in growing to the next level."
