Wondering what Flowant can do for your organization or team? Read here about the experience of Alderik Reitsma, General Manager Business Excellence at Tata Steel. He gives his honest opinion about our services.
Knowledge and experience
"It's helpful to have a flexible shell within your company. Sometimes you just need more people and sometimes you need people of a certain caliber. In the latter case, we enlist the support of Flowant. Because of their experience and knowledge, they can really make a difference in the team."
"We have known Flowant for a long time because we also worked together in the past when they worked at UPD. They still work with them by the way. That previous cooperation was very good at the time and we would like to continue this".
Collaboration
"What's nice about working with Flowant is that no matter how well they already know us, they always analyze the 'problem' first. They never take a standard approach; they make sure they provide a customized solution. Once everything is clear, we start working together again for a certain period of time, and they work with us an average of two days a week during that period."
"It's more about the way you work and the skills you have than whether you know exactly how to use certain tools. You have to be the sheep with the five legs."
"How they often proceed? What I see is that they contribute content and think along. Then they give advice based on the content and can follow through. The fact that you can do this may not be unique, but the way they do it is. They can interact with anyone in the company. Whether they are looking along on the floor or giving advice to management, they can do both without effort."
"Seniority and experience is what I immediately think of when I hear the name Flowant. They are consultants with the right experience in the industry and true generalists."
