==================================

Tell me what you run into: I’ll untangle it, provide an overview, and together we’ll find solutions.

Situations

I see why things go the way they go, and not the way they should go. I can help improve processes by identifying where they are blocking progress. And because I never see problems but challenges, I don’t solve problems but I change the situation in which they arise so that a problem suddenly never seems to have existed.

Goals

For many companies, the goal is to make as much money as possible. But that is ultimately the result of what you do. And then it sometimes makes sense, for example, for your company to take a side track for a while to come back later with a much better result. By staring blindly at what you want to achieve, you no longer see the roads to it. Together we will get back on the right track.

Technology

Because I have learned that people can float on a stage, and dragons can fly over in an attraction, I also think outside the world of leisure in ‘out-of-the-box’ solutions. I’ve made holograms, and made cars and motorcycles appear out of nowhere. But I also came up with a new LED screen for the attraction world. I have created illusions with technique, and found technological solutions by combining with an illusionary reality.
