Meet Ihsane Haouach

Ihsane Haouach is a social entrepreneur, author, trainer, and speaker, dedicated to promoting equal and sustainable transitions. Alongside international projects targeting an efficient and effective organisation, she founded several non-profit initiatives aimed at promoting equity. As a consultant and trainer, she intervenes to improve organisations’ societal impact. Her experience and skills from both the corporate and social sectors enable her to advise and train people with creative methods. 

Ihsane Haouach has always been involved in societal causes. With the organisations she founded, more than 3,000 youngsters and women were trained through self-confidence and citizenship involvement. Understanding the value of art for societal dialogues, she wrote and performed theater with humor and emotions, charming thousands of spectators. She co-initiated the creation of a 1000-square-foot cultural & educational center in Molenbeek called "L'Epicerie", representing the true melting pot of Brussels, the non-institutional place built entirely based on field experience. 

After a decade of a successful professional career in the energy sector, she quit a comfortable position to build bridges between the social and private sectors. Through her conviction that the future of our society lies in our ability to integrate energy transition into social challenges, she made it a point to always have a foot in both of those worlds. She was appointed to the board of Brugel, the Brussels regulatory agency that regulates electricity, gas, and water markets.

Fully Embrace Diversity with Profiles Inclusiveness!

Better understanding, Better organisations, Better society.

Diversity. Equality. Inclusion. Inclusiveness (DEI). Though the terminology is evolving, what about the concept?

From a “nice to have” to a “must-have”, DEI is nowadays a fashionable topic. Even though leaders are convinced of the benefits of diversity, equality, equity, inclusion and inclusiveness, some may not be aware of the full potential. In OPEN Up Your Organisation, Ihsane Haouach strives to achieve diversity that is not readily apparent at first glance. She developed an innovative model encouraging people to be Open to other viewpoints, resolve difficulties with Patience, feel Empathy for stakeholders and find a safe space to be Natural. Through facts, illustrated concepts, and real-life examples, you'll assess your management style and confront your realities. You just need to read this book with your mind OPEN!

With the OPEN way, Ihsane Haouach offers a new perspective on Diversity, Equity and Inclusiveness based on her experience in change management and societal challenges.
