Keynote speaker Frans van Loef has acted as a CEO for a wide range of organisations in many international sectors during their strategic change phases. He is the author of a successful management book “Stoppen met stapelen”, which is due to be published in English in the autumn of 2016, and is a regular speaker at conferences and congresses. He supervises his projects in Dutch and in English.

Most organisations have two invariably scarce resources that are essential in terms of speed and effectiveness: money and organisational capacity (time & talent). It almost goes without saying that every organisation tries to keep a tight hold on money, but the same cannot be said of organisational capacity, where wastage of up to 20% is considered entirely normal, a fact that has been confirmed in recent publications by experts like Harvard and Bain.

For many years now, a simple lack of time has featured in the top 3 of the most difficult obstacles to executing strategy. Frans van Loef is an expert in the areas of strategy execution and freeing up organisational capacity who has helped the management teams of many organisations to resolve these issues. Unlocking capacity can be achieved very swiftly when the organisation is mobilized into action at every level; it is not a top-down activity, as it is usually those situated deep within an organisation who know best how to locate ‘waste’. And the ability to manage organisational capacity is also essential in organisations that are becoming more and more self-managing.

This approach to freeing up capacity can be set in motion at any moment – a major plus given the increasing demand these days for organisations to be agile in their operations.

    Reducing Workload At The Collective Level

    • Too much workload at the collective level (department/organisation segment) is different to the workload at the individual level. How do you recognise this and what can you do about it? How can you find out whether too much is being demanded of teams/departments? How should you manage this after a reorganisation, for example, in which some colleagues will have left but much of the work they were doing is simply handed on to those left behind.

“Many thanks for your honest, sometimes somewhat confronting but always constructive coaching. It really helped my team get closer and take collaboration to another level. As a result, in a year we have moved from a situation with independently operating production departments (islands) to a situation in which the production leaders find support in word and deed. How much more fun it is to work in an environment with colleagues who you know always want to help you, are there for you when things go wrong, but which you can also laugh with.”

Wenny Raaymakers , Organon Site Leader & Plant Manager

“Thank you for the inspiring, insightful and energizing team building session. You helped us bring to light what we so often take for granted and gave us the tools to regain some control of our most precious resource: talent. We uncovered and recognized everyone’s unique top talents so that collectively we now appreciate our “go to” colleagues when help is needed. This training will help optimize our team’s capabilities and effectiveness because together we are stronger. It was the top highlight of our 3-day team meeting and quoted by the team as the “best training ever!”.
