In this role it was critical to maintain and work with a broad network of solutions and service suppliers, and being able to motivate and stimulate people and departments all over Europe and the US.
So, coordination and communication (and willing to travel) were the key success factors for this role.

Service Manager / Business Development Manager at Origin (currently Atos Origin) (Privately Held; 5001-10,000 employees)

Next to this role I took the initiative to develop 2 new service practices.
The first service practice delivered Remote Network Management Services, for small customers who were looking for high quality services of an organisation exceeding the critical mass in order to guarantee flexibility and continuity.
The second service practice was a Lotus Notes Service Center, being able to deliver high quality, flexibel and cost efficient solutions in a software factory concept. An answer to the demand, of organisations using Lotus Notes as a dynamic business platform, for development and application maintenance services for fast upcoming changes and new demands, to be realised in small projects.

July 1992 – September 1994 (2 years 3 months)
As a result of the merger between BSO and the former Philips PASS, I accepted the the position to:
- bridge the culture gap between the two organisations, both from a complete different nature,
- to change the culture of the organisation in order to become a financial independent organisation in a competitive world.
I was initiator and stakeholder of the, so called, revitalisation program. This program designed a roadmap for people development putting attention to individual skills and interests on the one hand and market needs on the other hand. Tracks to go could be within or outside the company (outplacement). The program was declared as mandatory and ran within several entities within the company for several years.
Understanding the employees and their background and being able to gain trust, was key for turning around the culture and bringing people together.
