Experience
Over the last years I have advised or trained various companies, a.o.
Alcatel-Lucent, BP, GITP, Kroymans
Corporation, Oranjewoud, Procter & Gamble, Rabobank, RijkZwaan, Vos
logistics. I have held invited lectures at many events
for companies and universities in various
countries: Belgium, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands,
Norway, Portugal,
Romania, Scotland, Slovenia, Switzerland, USA.
I have been a regular guest lecturer
at Londen School of Economics and ETH Zürich, as well as at various
universities in my own country, the Netherlands. |

Companies have a tendency to ask me, not for hearing
how many challenges are posed by cross-cultural collaboration, but for pep
talks about how fantastic cross-cultural teams are.
I can do those, but they will be tongue-in-cheek.
'Celebrating diversity' sounds great but real diversity is hard to cope
with. Cross-cultural teams
a bit like marriage: getting married is great, but families-in-law can be
hard...though the harder the battle, the sweeter the victory. |
