Customer statement by Els ten Cate, HRM Manager Panalytical
Jurgen is indeed a warm hearted person with much knowledge of simplifying manufacturing processes by engaging employees to step out of their comfort zone to make the difference. While working with him, I was impressed by his power to asses every individual as well as the processes instantly. In addition, he has a direct way of communicating, but keeps it very respectful. A real pleasure to work with!

Jürgen has been responsible for a controlled closing of the BERG Toys factory in Wekerom. He has done this very successfully. Although personnel knew the factory would be closing December 2014, he was able to keep the personnel in a positive mood and therefore production efficiency & output was on a good level the full year.
Jürgen is an experienced change manager with a broad set of competencies and tools to develop teams and individuals.

Jürgen has got the talent to connect with people and teams and to let these people and teams freely discover and develop their talents. Further, Jürgen knows how to make a solid connection between the process that needs to be changed and the people who need to create that change. He allows people to formulate their own interim goals, schedules, and activities, while adhering to a clearly defined overall goal. Concerning our project, this approach has allowed us to develop our change processes within the established schedule, and we have formed a team that is ready for further steps toward development and growth. Therefore, I can absolutely endorse Jürgen for any change or development program!

Jürgen is both a straightforward, no nonsense interim manager and a very good consultant. Within an extremely short period of time he had identified the weak points within my organization and knew exactly how to turn them into strengths. Most consultants stop here, but not Jürgen, he also managed the change within the organization to my full satisfaction. I highly recommend him!

Jürgen is a strong coach with a kind nature. He has taught me to stay in touch with my talent, even when it gets difficult on the shop floor. Over the period of eight months he challenged me not to walk the easy way, but to walk the right way. He is forceful but loving, demanding but patient. He knows exactly what a manager needs and I would definitely choose to employ him again.
