About this Blog
I want to share personal insights on specific topics which are seldom touched but will inspire you to look differently on how excellent you or your organization really are.
About Me
My latest challenge was to lift M&S Excellence throughout one of the worlds leading companies, This includes organization, systems, processes and people as well as helping business leaders to establish this strategy in their specific context. This describes in a nutshell what I am enthusiastic about and where I believe I can make a real difference based on my collected 30 years of professional experience.
Throughout my career my management responsibility was in four areas: Managing chemical businesses for multiple industries, developing & Consulting leaders and talents, and managing business functions such as Finance, HR and Strategy. The commonality is improving the performance of a business by helping people to improve, by applying state of the art business practices. I consider it a gift that I had the opportunity to work all over the world and in particular in Asia.
Moving between operative roles and strategic / conceptual roles after every 4-5 years is motivated by the aspiration to stretch my scope, to improve in the disciplines based on research and to practice teaching and consulting, leveraging my management, business and development experience.
I appreciate working in and with different cultures, with experts in multiple disciplines and styles.
My qualifiers are broad management and international experience and long experience in people and organizational development. As my USP I consider my B2B experience and participation in strategic decision making in one of the world leading companies. I am familiar with diverse business challenges as well as decision making and implementation in organizations despite ambiguity and diverse contexts.
