Introduction
Cloud computing, social media, big data and 24x7 online devices. We all heavily depend on IT services. These services are highly interdependent and delivered by many collaborating partners (see figure). In my life as creative thinker, consultant, entrepreneur and scientist (PhD) I have developed innovations to improve the performance of IT services in these complex environments. This site offers an overview.

Fascinated by performance in networks |
I do not believe in constraints, I believe in innovating and implementing solutions. |
Innovations for practice
In 2005 I started the development of a library with best-practices for realizing large scaled changes in information-intensive branches. The development of the library, under the name Common Sense®, was triggered by Thijs Homan which I met during my Master (MSc) Organizational Change en Supply Chain Management. These best-practices have been applied on an international scale over the years. I'm now taking part in a group of likewise minded people for the application and development of Common Sense.
Recently I have completed a dissertation (PhD) at the VU University at Amsterdam which I will defend on 18 June 2015. My PhD has resulted in scientific publications about performance improvements and Agility in networks of IT service providers. The PhD has also led to innovations in the area of Scaled Agile and decreased IT incidents in complex environments.
