“Setting a North Star goal is a first step of streamlining all your efforts to grow towards a common goal as a publisher. This program offered us as a smaller publication the necessary insights to kick-start the development of our North Star goal. We for sure will be further implementing the hypothesis/experiment mindset to help figure out if a new idea is worth developing.”

“In the rat race of journalism and media in a world of countless opportunities, the North Star Foundation Program helps to take a step back and focus on strategy. And it does so in a hands-on way. Don't hesitate...”

Koen Vlaeminck
Chief editor, Kerknet.be

“Finding a new North Star really helped us in developing a new vision and goals.”
