Description

Seasoned Operational Excellence Generalist contributing to a healthier society.

I like to exceed expectations and deliver lasting results through a combination of continuous improvement & energising teams.

Creating a win-win (lasting impact on results & seeing people's happiness) makes me tick.

Passionate about well-being, excellence, continuous improvement, human performance & connecting dots.

"Less is more" is a motto I live by. That's great for you too:

cheaper,
faster,
increased adoption &
easier maintenance.

For example, I have given a half-day training in project management focusing on the project charter. By the end, the participants had a project charter for their own project. Such a pragmatic approach sticks better than a week-long training where participants get an overload of information, which they will soon forget because they cannot apply it in the short term.
