A look into the workshop room. You can see confidence on people’s faces, where a few hours ago there was still doubt. Many already have an excited sparkle in their eyes. You can feel the optimism and pride spreading through the room. Who would have thought it just a few short weeks ago?
Experiencing how organisations map a (new) path to a sustainable future and supporting them on that journey is a source of both strength and joy to me. Where did this passion come from?
You could say I grew up with systems thinking. A family discussion and debate was part and parcel of long car journeys back from our holidays. This is what nurtured my interest in taking a closer look, in persisting with difficult topics and in changing perspectives to find creative solutions.
And when asked where we should go on holiday next, I have been known to produce a spreadsheet for choosing the destination. In short, you could say that structure is very important in my life.
I draw on all these elements plus experience from a large strategy consultancy, from management work in the family company and as a consultant and from the world of sport (in particular ice hockey) in my work with my clients.
And why do I do it? A father of two, I am interested in more than just short-term optimisation. I want to help create a society in which my children can live happily and well.
