GITP International BV

GITP (Gemeenschappelijk Instituut voor Toegepaste Psychologie) is a HRD consultancy firm, founded in 1947 in collaboration with the Nijmegen University and the Tilburg School of Economics (Netherlands). Founders were Professor Dr. Theo Rutten (Dutch Minister of Education in 1948–1952) and Professor Jan de Quay (Dutch Prime Minister in 1959–1963). Their objective was to contribute to economic restructuring of the Netherlands after World War II employing the most modern scientific insights, based on the philosophy that the right man or woman must be at the right job. A key contribution to achieve this came from the Marshall Plan, which provided funds.{{Cite book
