Leading organizational transformations
Experience shows that support within the organization is fundamental for the successful implementation of organizational transformations. And in order to create support, employees must see and experience that the intended transformation also works to their advantage. That they too will eventually move forward.
Successfully leading organizational transformation therefore starts with the employees, regardless of the problem that is driving the transformation. We empower employees to develop themselves and become more effective in creating real value for the company and customers. In addition, we collect and analyze the data that show us what the benefits of a transformation will be.
With the methodologies of lean and lean sigma, among others, we can map out a feasible and clear path through a transformation. And by teaching the employee these tools, this transformation is not just a one-time thing, but flexibility and adaptability become a core competence of the company.

Our
core values
Together & personal
The relationship between individuals and group processes is central to effectively addressing problems and improving processes within companies. Ultimately, the employees of the company have to do it together, but that “together” only works when each individual is empowered and feels personally valued.
Roland’s human approach means that he ensures that individuals can optimally contribute to a greater whole. By allowing personalities to contribute in their own way, the group process becomes a unique and strong reflection of the qualities of a company’s employees.
Committed & objective
The trick is to find the balance between involvement on the one hand and keeping enough distance to view a situation or problem objectively on the other.
In order to get to the heart of the matter and to understand the real nature of problems, involvement is an indispensable element in the Roland way of working. He prefers to experience the situation on the work floor by becoming part of it for a while. This is the best way to gain insight into the nature of problems and the presence of solutions.
At the same time, the trick is always to keep enough distance to be able to view the situation objectively. After all, too much involvement can lead to blind spots. It is the numerical and analytical side of Roland’s personality that always helps him to fall back on hard data, the objective side of a situation.
Conceptual & targeted
In order to be concrete, it is important to have an idea of where you want to go. It therefore helps to work conceptually to outline a framework, identify different possibilities and develop perspectives. It is from there that substantiated choices can be made, that you can zoom in on parts of a process and that various options can be compared against each other.
You can learn to understand processes by observing them conceptually. Understand why things are done a certain way, what the greater purpose is and why certain steps are taken. By really understanding the conceptual context within which the process takes place, targeted process improvements can be implemented without losing sight of the larger goal.
