Holding company

Connecting people
and technology.

MENSEN.WORK brings together publishing, advisory, investment and development activities at the intersection of people, technology and institutional responsibility. Its ventures help organisations understand and govern the impact of AI, digital dependency and information systems on decision-making, trust and human agency.

About

MENSEN.WORK is not a traditional advisory firm, but a combination of venture development, publishing, advisory and investment.

It develops and supports ventures, publications and advisory practices that help organisations make better decisions where people and technology meet.

The portfolio is intentionally diverse, but connected by one question: how can people and institutions retain judgment, agency and responsibility in increasingly complex digital environments?

Portfolio

Governance & Culture

For cultural institutions, executives, boards and supervisors — governance, AI, cyber risk, digital dependency and board-level responsibility.

  • Governance.Art

    Governance.Art helps boards, executives and cultural institutions govern digital dependency, AI and cyber risk. It translates complex technological developments into practical questions of responsibility, resilience and institutional judgment.

  • CodeCultuur

    CodeCultuur is the Dutch knowledge and publication line within Governance.Art, focused on governance, accountability and digital resilience in the cultural sector. (In Dutch — Under Development)

  • Insiber.com

    Insiber is the cyber-resilience foundation of the practice — board-level tools to understand, control and insure cyber risk for commercial and not-for-profit organisations and insurers. Its insights now inform Governance.Art and the broader approach to digital dependency and institutional resilience.

Media & Information Intelligence

For media organisations, publishers, editorial teams and public information institutions. Polders / News Intelligence helps them understand how narratives align, diverge and reshape public meaning in an AI-driven information environment.

Human Collaboration & Rights

For creators, professionals and organisations working with voice, rights, communication and human collaboration in the age of AI.

  • MyRights

    MyRights is a rights intelligence platform that helps creators, performers, producers and media organisations navigate the growing complexity of ownership, licensing and attribution in the age of AI. Rather than adding another layer of administration, it provides a structured way to understand, document and manage rights relationships as technology reshapes how creative work is created, distributed and reused. (Under Development)

  • Voicefilter

    Experimental AI agent that creates specific content for polemic columns. Dutch only at present.

  • Pattern Mirror

    A lightweight reflection tool. People answer a small set of questions about how they prefer to communicate, decide, give feedback and handle disagreement. Profiles can then be placed in the same frame and compared.
