Why us
Orobie Basecamp isn't an agency that invented an offer. It's where our two methods came together, and where we most like to work.
The origin
We live in the Flemish Ardennes. That is where we walk our own sunken lanes, in every season. And we bought a house in Spiazzi di Gromo: our second home, not for a business, but because we wanted to work where we like to walk. Then we noticed what remote work and daily movement in the mountains does to you: your head empties, your conversations get more honest, and your decisions get sharper. We did not want to keep that to ourselves. It started with a house and a habit, not with a business plan.
What makes us different
The walk is the environment. The product is how we get people to finally have the conversation they've been avoiding for months. Question, conversation, confrontation, choice, commitment. You don't copy that by also organizing a walk.
We live in the Flemish Ardennes and walk those sunken lanes ourselves, in every season. The Val Seriana is our second home: we have a house there, we know the language, the paths, the rifugi and the people. Orobie Basecamp does not come from a concept, it comes from those two places. Close by when time is short, far away when you really need to let go.
Entrepreneur, Lean thinker, LEGO Serious Play facilitator, outdoor enthusiast. Never non-binding, never sterile. You think in terms of people, systems, decisions and behavior at the same time.
The fair question
Because you will have had a nice walk. We ensure that you have had the conversation that you have been postponing for months, and that you come back with a sheet of paper stating who does what.
The people
Orobie Basecamp began as Ludo’s idea. In practice, Tycho and Ludo do almost everything together: Owner Walks, Basecamp Days, Team Resets and the Founders’ Escape are guided by both of us. Ludo takes on the multi-day retreats in Italy — it is his second home. Both facilitators, both co-founders of The Missing Brick. The Missing Brick is part of every Orobie Basecamp.
Facilitator WALK · LEGO® Serious Play®
Guides organizations through team development, strategy and change, and co-founded The Missing Brick with Ludo. No-nonsense: making complex issues visible so that something can be decided. Preferably talk next to you instead of in front of you.
Slecht in: sitting still for too long.
Facilitator WALK · host in Spiazzi di Gromo
Lives in the Flemish Ardennes, second home in the Alta Val Seriana. Came for the mountains, stayed for the talks. Knows the paths, the rifugi and the people in the valley, and knows exactly which climb stops a discussion.
Slecht in: pretend he doesn't feel like chips.
Head of Walks
Our dog, and the only one with a title he never had to justify. Sets the pace, forces breaks that no one had planned, and makes sure no one takes themselves too seriously.
Slecht in: meetings.
Tycho and Ludo are both qualified facilitators in the WALK method and in LEGO® Serious Play®. Two methods, two facilitators, no reason to wait until one of us has time.
What we are not
Step 1
You describe what is not moving. We ask the question more clearly and say honestly whether we are the right party.
Step 2
The right formula, the price, the duration, and what we need from you. No standard quote.
Step 3
A date that works for your agenda, plus a conversation after thirty days to see if the plan remains alive.
