Summary
I am happy to support companies in their transformation to increase effectiveness, improve efficiency, embed methodical knowledge and bring about cultural change across all levels of the organization. My work covers management systems in the areas of quality improvement, Six Sigma, LEAN, Agile, Scrum and cultural change, in the roles of project manager, expert, coach and trainer.
A sustainable, holistic approach and a focus on key objectives are central to my understanding of meaningful work. The focus is on revising existing areas of responsibility or designing and documenting effective responsibilities, standards and processes. I value the inspiration that comes from teamwork just as much as independent, conceptual and strategic work. I enjoy a varied role that involves learning about and developing skills in new areas.
