Curriculum
Management consultant and interim manager bridging: business & IT, customer & supplier.
After studying information technology, I soon discovered that IT is mainly used by people. In order to bridge the gap between people and technology, I then completed the study applied communication sciences. This provides me with a technical as well as a social scientific background. Which means that I'm often active on the interface business - IT and vice versa.
After my studies I started at Simac Network Services. In the IT hype of the late 90s I was soon offered a position as manager Unix / Novell. Over the years, followed by various management and board positions.
Early 2007 I went completely independent. As a management consultant and interim manager in the field of IT and more specifically IT outsourcing and governance. In this capacity, I have supported clients in both the private and public sector, domestic and abroad. In addition, I regularly provide trainings, workshops and lectures on: IT sourcing, service management, IT governance, service integration and manangement (SIAM), risk management, contract and supplier management and negotiation.
This mix of expertise and experience has led me to move more and more towards a second interface that of the customer / supplier relationship.

INTERIM
Als ervaren IT-interim manager ben ik er van overtuigd dat een interim zich moet aanpassen aan de organisatie die hij of zij bedient. Te vaak is het andersom. Binnenstormen en de boel op de kop zetten. De adaptieve manager luistert en probeert te begrijpen, alvorens een strategie te ontwikkelen die de noodzakelijke verandering realiseert en te bevatten is voor betrokkenen.

Expertise
My expertise has grown over the years. Going from IT infrastructures through application and system integration to IT management.
From operational project and service management via management and executive positions to the role of a trusted management consultant.
The expertise and experience acquired in the areas indicated above and elaborated hereafter comes together in the management of IT ecosystems.
IT orchestration
& governance
IT management is aimed at getting all parties involved in an organization's IT ecosystem to work together effectively and successfully.
Internal & external, build & run, demand & supply by:
-
Management - translating organizational objectives into an IT service and sourcing portfolio (what do we procure from outside and what are we still doing ourselves). In orchestration terms: conducting .
-
Orchestration - organizing and directing the way in which collaboration takes place. What rules, principles, methods and techniques do we use in the collaborations within the ecosystem.
-
Integration - the continuous coordination of products, services and parties in the supply chains of the ecosystem.
it becomes clear who is responsible for what and when and who exerts control over what.
In this way, an organization organizes the decision making process around IT in terms of: tasks, responsibilities and decision rights. Whilst also outlining on what basis these are assigned to persons or groups within but also outside the organization. This is also referred to as governance or orchestration, the allocation of responsibilities and decision rights (mandate) to a party.
I have made it my prime task to assist clients in configuring their IT ecosystem sustainably. Based on the need to align the IT strategy with the business strategy.
The basis for shaping the IT supply chains in the ecosystem is your IT service portfolio.
Taking the portfolio as the starting point, the strategy is outlined when, which type of suppliers must deliver which products and services. This so-called IT sourcing strategy can, in terms of orchestration, be seen as the score. The complete overview of all parties involved.
Within the score, the individual compositions (arrangement of elements according to a predetermined strategy) are brought together and ordered. In business terms, the purchasing strategies aimed at the acquisition of individual products and services that give substance to the IT sourcing strategy.
My extensive experience with (European) tenders allows me to acquire your IT needs externally where necessary.
IT sourcing
& procurement
Supplier & contract management
Where sourcing and purchasing focus on the acquisition of products, services and suppliers, supplier & contract management (SCM) ensures that the parties, that must jointly deliver the necessary performance, continue to deliver that performance.
SCM also monitors the correct composition of the supplier landscape in the context of IT management. In terms of orchestration this is called ensemble management (ensemble: collective name for a group of players).
I would like to explain to you where, as an experienced supplier and contract management consultant, I can help your organization to improve the management of your supplier ecosystem.
This with respect to one-to-one relationships, but from a management perspective, above all from a holistic system approach aimed at your total IT ecosystem.
Orchestrating and managing is fine, but in the end it's all about delivery.
My operational experience as a project and service manager enables me to manage both projects (build) and day-to-day operations (run).
However from a management & governance perspective this goes a step further. By means of project & program portfolio management and application lifecycle management & rationalization, the steering of and collaboration within the IT ecosystem are realized.
Project & service management
IT strategy
If you look consciously at the way in which you organize your IT ecosystem, you might need to utilize a broader perspective. After all, the ecosystem is not a goal in itself, but facilitates your overall IT strategy.
I would like to share with you my knowledge and experience in the field of:
-
IT management & governance
-
IT sourcing
-
Service management
-
Supplier & contract management
-
IT procurement / purchasing
-
Project management
-
Risk management and
-
IT architecture
With the idea of "Setting a course and keeping it", I ensure that your digital transformation rests on a structured long-term holistic and sustainable perspective that provides the framework for operational execution and excellence.

Ik ben me als externe bewust van het feit dat ik te gast ben in uw organisatie. Hieruit vloeit voort dat ik discreet omgaan met gegevens, informatie en ervaringen. Mijn handelen is daarbij gericht op transparantie vanuit de overtuiging dat het over en weer weten waar we staan bijdraagt aan wederzijds vertrouwen.
