EIFFEL, Balance and TASK Build Together on Integrated Project Management
- EIFFEL Projects
May 20, 2022 - EIFFEL strengthens its leading position in integrated project management. After previously adding Palladio, EIFFEL is now acquiring the Balance and TASK labels from Intersaction, investor behind InterConsulting Group. With this step, we welcome more than 300 specialists in project management, area development and energy transition into our fast-growing community.
Complementary Labels Strengthen Each Other
Gert-Jan Meppelink is proud of this expansion: "With Palladio, we entered the world of large-scale interim project management for governments 1.5 years ago. We immediately saw growth opportunities to provide a complete service. By now bringing Palladio, Balance and TASK together, we are even better positioned to make an impact on complex government projects. Think of energy transition, infrastructure, mobility, area development, housing construction and climate adaptation."
Palladio, Balance and TASK under one flag makes it possible to contribute to complex government projects that will define agendas in the coming years.

Making the Netherlands Future-Proof
Sadako Huitema, board member of InterConsulting Group, calls the acquisition a logical next step: "Balance and TASK already saw opportunities in interim project management in 1997, because governments struggled to keep complex projects moving. By now, some 300 professionals work daily on a future-proof Netherlands. By joining EIFFEL now, they enter a broader community of talent and expertise. This offers great opportunities for their development and for the public domain."
Staying Ahead, Not Just Keeping Up
The arrival of Balance and TASK underscores EIFFEL's ambition. The community is growing to more than 1,100 professionals. Meppelink: "Our growth strategy is clear: we strengthen our brand through strategic expansion. The partnership with Palladio was our first step in this market, and it proved to be a perfect match. We quickly exchanged knowledge and talent. Balance and TASK also fit perfectly within this approach. They maintain their own name and working methods, complemented by the EIFFEL signature. The mentality of 'Staying ahead, not just keeping up' aligns seamlessly with what we have to offer the public sector."
