Anders dan Anderen
Oplossingen worden te vaak gezocht in complexe technische oplossingen en massieve organisatorische veranderingen. Dit leid vaak tot grote investeringen en nog grotere afschrijvingen op eerdere oplossingen.
Results2Match kijkt en denkt veel pragmatischer: zoek het missende puzzelstuk en voeg het op de juiste plaats in. In tegenstelling tot wat velen blindelings denken is er vaak geen echte reden om een nieuwe puzzel kopen.
Improving Business Process Performance: My Approach
Submitted by Hans Lodder on Sat, 23/01/2010 - 06:10This week I was involved in a discussion regarding a business process performance improvement project. This projects objective is to improve the efficiency of a hospital polyclinic by reducing the number of No Show patients.
Who reads our blogs?
Submitted by Hans van Nes an... on Sat, 24/10/2009 - 05:39Together with my co-founder Hans Lodder I regularly discuss the level of interest you show in our Results2Match community blogs. Since we are not aiming to be bestseller authors, the absolute number a blog is read is not the measure for our “success” (although it is nice to be read by a lot of peers!). More important is that we do try to listen to our audience as to identify topics that seem worthwhile to address.
Alternative Approach
Solutions for business issues are too often sought in using complex technology and massive organizational changes, often leading to large investments and even larger write-offs on earlier solutions.
Results2Match takes a far more pragmatic route: if the missing puzzle piece is found and placed correctly in the overall picture, you have your solution. There is no need to buy a complete new jigsaw puzzle at all!
My Favorite Change Strategy: Wandering!
Submitted by Olga Warffemius on Thu, 12/06/2008 - 11:41The two main strategies for change are traveling and wandering. Traveling tries to reach an upfront defined destination, while wandering implies adaptation during the journey. Thus wandering has no fixed destination.
Falling Into the Commodity Trap
Submitted by Hans van Nes on Mon, 09/06/2008 - 13:02
Talking to Marco Gianotten from Giarte, we discussed the rise and fall of various IT-players. In my opinion this has a lot to do with a company's ability to keep away from what I call the commodity trap.
The Change and Improvement Program 'Enabling New Initiatives': Little Grip, and a Lot Of Trust
Submitted by Olga Warffemius on Tue, 27/05/2008 - 13:34The goal of the program Enabling New Initiatives was to break for the Dutch Erasmus Medical Center the trend of increasing costs and decreasing funds for new initiatives. And when we started there was no one around to tell us how to perform that trick.
Tinkering The pragmatic Way: Revisited
Submitted by Hans van Nes on Wed, 02/04/2008 - 15:12I got into a nice discussion with some community members on my tinkering blog where I advocated to take a pragmatic approach to governance, risk and compliance procedures (GRC). Apart from the question if the word "tinkering" is appropriate for this serious topic (☺), there was a general consensus that implementing GRC should not become a new holy grail. Of course, the discussion triggered a few additional observations.
Wanted: The New Chief Information Officer (CIO)
Submitted by Hans Lodder on Sat, 01/03/2008 - 14:04Yearly, there are about 1,000 vacancies for CIO's. This large number of vacancies makes it interesting enough to check the required CIO competences for such a function.
The ICT Production Architect: Role, Taksks, and Responsibilities
Submitted by Hans van Nes on Wed, 06/02/2008 - 21:36
In his last blog Hans Lodder advocated that the role of the CIO should focus more on an effective ICT operation and less on an efficient ICT operation. Does this contradict with my quest for a Production Architect? I believe not: they could even be the biggest buddies!
