THE ELEVEN takes you inside the minds of eleven legendary architects of sustainable greatness under pressure like Pep Guardiola, Jürgen Klopp, Phil Jackson, Pat Summitt, Sir Alex Ferguson and Anatoly Tarasov — across six sports, five continents and seven decades.

Sustained by Recovery. Destroyed by Drift.
It builds the case through eleven coach profiles and six business translations: Microsoft, NVIDIA, PepsiCo, Starbucks, Nokia and Thomas Cook.

Olivier Van Duüren spent twenty-two years in senior international roles at Microsoft — Brussels, Paris, London, Seattle — work recognised with the Global Platinum Award for Excellence, presented by Bill Gates. He left the corporate world to build something harder to commoditise: a body of work on leadership, transformation, and human performance under pressure.
As founder of The Dualarity and co-founder of Visual Senseformers, he delivers keynotes and leadership workshops across the world. His co-authored book Transforming While Performing (with Kristof Braekeleire) explores the outer practices that help organizations move while still delivering.

He works with startups, scaleups, and global organisations alike. "The world is my play garden, Europe my future, Belgium my country and Flanders my home."
