Stem van de klant

“We willen van Vesteda een continue verbeterende organisatie maken. Samen met been management consulting hebben we gewerkt aan het kritisch onder de loep nemen van onze eigen processen en het vinden van verbeterpotentieel. been mc is een partner gebleken die ons bij de hand heeft genomen op een inspirerende en energieke manier. Ze hebben pragmatische methoden aangereikt, waarbij ze ook in staat waren de aanpak aan te passen aan onze wensen. Wat wij belangrijk vonden was dat we steeds meer zelf in de ‘driver’s seat’ zouden komen en steeds minder hoefden te leunen op externe ondersteuning en dat is prima gelukt. We zijn nu zelf veel beter in staat om binnen Vesteda continue te verbeteren dan aan het begin van dit traject.”

HR Manager bij Vesteda en Astrid Schlüter, Directeur Property Management

Stem van de klant

Bij Sortiva staan innovatie en continu verbeteren hoog op de prioriteitenlijst. Met een train-de-trainer aanpak heeft been management consulting ons geholpen om meer grip en controle te krijgen op onze dagdagelijkse prestaties en breder te kijken. In het project zijn we gestart met een intensieve fase van doorlichting. Geconstateerd werd dat het huidige besturingssysteem kon worden verbeterd. Samen met been mc hebben we dit verder ontwikkeld en opnieuw geïmplementeerd, waardoor we nu met de juiste mensen op het juiste moment met de juiste informatie de organisatie besturen. Omdat een van onze eigen medewerkers is opgeleid tot intern consultant konden we de borging in eigen beheer uitvoeren en hebben we naar de toekomst toe extra capaciteit om verbeteringen te spotten en zelf door te voeren”.

Ronald Balvers, Operationeel manager Sortiva
