Coaching Technology Experts

Technology, and information technology in particular, is developing very fast. This drives strong growth in technology companies, and with it the need to increase management capacity. Failures cost companies millions of euros. The culprit is often ineffective internal communication and too little understanding of what key customers need. The solution lies in building better relationships between a company’s own business and technology teams, to further boost the return on its technology investments.

Standing still is not an option

New technologies are at the heart of most organisational change. It is therefore essential that business and technology executives learn to work together effectively. Having worked in that environment myself as an executive in large companies, I understand exactly what it takes to build cohesion between business and technology teams, so that they speak the same language and share a common vision of success.

Turning top project managers and engineers into leaders

Excellent engineers and project managers often have to move from decisively running small, agile project organisations focused on fast product development to managing large, stable companies driven by profitability. In such situations I assess the dynamics of the company, its owners and its employees, and bring to the surface the key elements of management policy and the conflicting work styles and personalities that create friction and block progress. I work with managers on the business and the technology side one-to-one or in groups, depending on what is the best approach to building the team.
