  Change within organizations mostly lead to disturbances and a lower efficiency. Communication of the right message to those who will be affected somehow by the change is key. Communication of the desired goal and prepare people to new roles and responsibilities will increase the success of the change. Solutions of ROVC Advies & Implementatie do always have a focus on the human within the organization and is based on proven improvement techniques like TPM, Lean and Six Sigma. As business consultant I've adviced several companies in the definition and realization of their short term goals (based on a long term vision). Mainly in the role as advisor, but also in the role of trainer. For the organization ROVC Advies & Implementatie, the main activities were development of training material, support of Marketing & Sales, acquisition and an active role in the growth of the department.
