My approach
To do well in a demanding international environment today requires a special, performance-promoting approach. Success is not only economically essential, but also more fun than failure!
We assume a zero failure culture in many areas of daily life. In medicine, for example (appendectomy - how many failed attempts are OK?), or in civil aviation (aircraft landing - "trial and error", or rather "first time right"?). But how does it work? I will be happy to support you in implementing such a culture.
Process excellence
What does "Rocket Science" have to do with foundry technology? You guessed it, a lot. From the very beginning space travel has required strictly planned approaches. Trial and error would have cost a disproportionate amount of money and human lives. What can be usefully transferred to the foundry results in the Vision Zero approach: Zero Accidents, Zero Defects, Zero Waste.Operational leadership
Benefit from my leadership experience in very different positions, including over fifteen years as Managing Director at a global market leader in the industry, in a large European foundry group, and as Chairman of the Supervisory Board and CEO of a Belgian steel foundry.Future workshops
Reinventing oneself from time to time can have various motives as triggers. The ability to confirm the position of one's own company where it makes sense and to realign it where necessary is among other activities made visible by a future workshop.
Restructuring, Change Management
Often people give preference to known unhappiness over unknown happiness. At the same time, changes are either essential for further development in a dynamic environment, or also indicated by external constraints. Benefit from my experience in shaping change efficiently and constructively.
