Dear reader,
First of all, I would like to introduce myself to you: I am a father, son, brother, friend, colleague, trainer, advisor and writer. I support domains (companies, markets, regions etc.) that want to transfer to a professional community. Besides that, I hope to start a PhD or DBA program next year in the field of:
The Weconomics Program will change corporations into communities and increases the productivity of information workers. This program will focus our goals, skills and resources.
My second book is under construction
I hope to finish my second book by the end of the year. It is a management book about the Weconomics model. Weconomics is a new organization model for the community economy. Its primarily goal is to change domains into communities and improve our productivity, flexibility and ability to innovate by deploying them smarter. It is based on profile -> connect -> collaborate networks, it uses community software (no boundaries, open source etc.) and is based on what binds us instead of what differs us. But most of all, the model expects different behavior from people and a different mindset. That’s the real challenge.
My first book is published
March 7th 2010 my first book was published: a management novel on the history of the community economy. Titled ‘Elke dag als de zon opkomt’ (NL) it tells the exiting story of Miles and Susan. Susan is doing her Master research within the company of Miles. You travel with them in their search to a different world. A world where companies, banks and government are not self evident anymore.
Advisor
I started my first professional community in 1994 (Dutch Training & Development market) and I advised a lot of organizations on how they could work smarter together in a community. Some organizations I advised: ADP, AEGON, Allseas, Atos Origin, Baan, Deltalloyd, De Lage Landen, De Nederlandsche Bank, Gemeente Utrecht, Menzis, Ministerie van Economische Zaken, Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken, de NAM, Ohra, Oracle, Prorail, Provincie Utrecht, Rijkswaterstaat, Shell, Start People, Tempo-Team, Technicum, Unique and USG People.
