Steve Jobs and Bill Gates said that innovation was merely to put
existing information together in a different way.
As a qualified engineer, Frans literally works at the coalface, getting his
hands dirty, becoming familiar with your frontline people, analyzing work
practices and identifying organizational improvement opportunities. After
having gained trust as a frontline in your factory, warehouse, or office,
he moves to assist organizations at management level by opening up
communication barriers that usually inhibit employee engagement through
influencing the existing storytelling practises that are alive at every
level in any organization.
Storytelling is a stakeholder management practice that is used in
management coaching at senior executive levels to help organizations in
change management initiatives to increase team effectiveness,
performance, and outcomes, leadership capability and organizational
change. Like organizational psychologists, Frans can’t advise you what to do
or what to adopt. His work simply involves to bring the frontline and
management perspectives into alignment.
His own stories involve insights he gained from experience with Xerox by
being charged with employee capability development. After that he became
interested in helping leaders from other companies by joining the
training organization Leadership Management Australia. This involved
all-encompassing consulting assignments and development programs
assisting other organizations to increase productivity and performance
through conducting training needs in management and leadership
development to achieve cultural integration through proven
methodologies. The key learning of organizational development is in
attitudinal modification that results in behavioral change by using
positive psychology and 360 degree feedback.
Frans earned his degree as an Electronic Engineer at
MTS Nijmegen, Holland in 1978. He studied
Action Science in Innovation and Service Management at RMIT.
