The Total Football Manifesto
Not Just a Game. A Way to Work.
Inspired by the strategy that changed football forever, Total Football Thinking (TFT) redefines how modern teams plan, perform, and win. Just like players in the great Dutch era could adapt and switch roles on the field, we believe businesses thrive when teams move with purpose, flexibility, and shared vision.
This manifesto isn’t about tactics—it’s about transformation.
This is where agility meets ambition.
FROM THE FIELD TO THE BOARDROOM
Everyone Plays a
Role
Just like in Total Football, roles are dynamic. Every
team member must understand and support the full
game plan—not just their piece.
"A striker should defend.
A developer should
understand UX."
Flow Over Friction
We prioritize collaboration, communication, and
continuous movement. Lean execution means
cutting waste, reducing delays, and staying in sync.
PLAN TOGETHER
PLAY THE SPRINT
REVIEW & EVOLVE
Gamify to
Grow
Motivation is the fuel. Scoreboards,
rewards, AI-powered coaching, and real-
time feedback make teamwork fun and
productive.
GAME RULES FOR EVERY PROJECT
BADGES THAT MEAN SOMETHING
RECOGNITION THAT DRIVES ENGAGEMENT
Agility is
Strength
Role shifts aren’t chaos—they’re strategy. Our interchangeable team model increases adaptability, ownership, and innovation across every layer.
INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAMS
AI-BASED TASK ALLOCATION
BUILT-IN QUALITY & COMPLIANCE
Outcomes Over
Output
OKRs drive clarity. Sprints drive focus. Governance
and KPIs track the why, not just the what.

Joy is a Metric
Work should energize, not exhaust. We create
environments where purpose, progress, and people
matter.
