BETTER LIFE

Not IT on itself, but what you can accomplish using Information Technology, is what stimulates me in my professional life. I am intrigued on how to achieve a better life and improve the workplace through technology.

The sound of C

This is what I believe in to obtain my goals (4 Cs) based on 30+ years of business experience:

Creativity in what you do and how you solve complex business challenges

Communicate what you want to do, how you would like to proceed and what you've accomplished

Continuity; every day again going for excellence while aligning your daily activities to a common goal

Collaboration is about working together with the people inside and outside your organisation, co-creation of business and systems excellence

Other Cs that can be considered as useful are:

Customer, target your efforts to your customer (internal or external) audiences

Cash means that you still have to remember the initial business objectives or bottom line

Competition is never sitting still, be open for innovation and realise that change is everywhere

LIFELONG LEARNING

Cause I'm convinced that learning is an ongoing process and effort, I frequently attend seminars and other courses.

CHANGE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN KEEPING SECRETS

Effective Knowledge Management (KM) should provide an answer to the following questions:

How do we store knowledge?

How can we exchange it?

How can we make knowledge accessible?

How do we enhance and stimulate (re)use of knowledge?

The Knowledge Process has some specific needs:

Knowledge creation is about people and culture.

It must link to real business needs and objectives.

Support from top management and support from the floor is key.

Recognise those who are willing to share their knowledge!

Continuity, KM is a part of our daily tasks.
