Stakeholder Management

Stakeholders can be found in many different roles within an organization. Sometimes different stakeholders have different opinions or different needs. It often needs a good lister to really understand the Stakeholders needs. And you often need some creativity to align all their different opinion without loosing focus on your own needs.

Master Data Consultant

October 2021 - present | Tentive

Whether we’re talking internal documentation or external sources, data is everywhere – and the flood of data is only increasing. All that structured and unstructured information is the core of your information supply, but it doesn’t do you any good until you can transform all that data into valuable insights for your business. Are you overwhelmed by the huge volume of information? We would be happy to help you with data management.

Bake a Cake

October 2019 - December 2021 | Astellas Pharma | Meppel

Documentation, and especially documentation structure is not always easy to understand. When discussing what content belongs in what kind of document people tend to fall back in the familiar. To break the content bias and legacy way of doing things an example completely out of scope of the daily business could help.
To enable the discussion on document structure I’ve created a complete set of process documents on the topic of ‘Organizing a Birthday Party the Dutch Way’. With this set of documents, a shopping bag full of props and a nice PowerPoint presentation this formed the basis for various “Bake a Cake” sessions in which the document structure was explained and the proper content level of different document types was discussed.

The Material Master Data team within Astellas is facing a major challenge. With the implementation of a new Global SAP-S/4HANA environment the role of the EMEA Material Master Data Team is moving from a Regional to a Global role.

In my role as Document Writer I’m using my experience in Master Data Management to challenge the organization to think about their processes before start writing a document.

World Trial Qualifiers – 2020

October 2018 - December 2020 | Dutch Sheep Dog Society

In September 2020 the International Sheep Dog Society will organize the World Sheepdog Trial in York, England. As Dutch Sheep Dog Society we are invited to select a team to represent the Netherlands on this World Trial. This year we will organize Qualifier trials to select the best combinations of Handlers and Dogs for the Dutch Team.
Organizing this Qualifier series starts long before the first trial, In October the Trial Committee starts with making an initial planning and reviewing the rules and regulations (based on lessens learned from previous trials). Changes in the rules need to be published before december 1st to be eligible for a vote on the next AGM. From December 1st to December 31st our competitors can pre-register, based on those registrations we can make final adjustments to our planning. Meanwhile there are all kind of activities like making sure everybody is aware of the activities, finding suitable locations and getting sponsors and other partners on board.

Onward to the first Qualifier Trial in April operational activities will take place to make sure there will be series of challenging but fair trials. Also the final registration will take place and our competitors will have a lot of questions which need to be answered.

With a small team you need to be able to switch quickly between tasks. My tasks in this project;

- Supporting members in writing and submitting rule change proposals
- Update Documentation based on approved proposals
- Setting up (pre)registration tools (Google Sheet, Google Form)
- Finding sponsors
- Selecting and inviting (international)Judges
- Make travel arrangements for judge & volunteers
- Preparing Trial Field
- Calculate and publish scores and rankings

World Trial Qualifiers 2017

December 2015 - July 2017 | Dutch Sheep Dog Society

Once in every three years the International Sheep Dog Society organize the World Sheepdog Trials. For this championship we, the Dutch Sheep Dog Society, as associate of the ISDS, are asked to create a team which will represent the Netherlands on the WT in 2017. For selecting the Dutch Team we organized 4 qualifying trials. A place in the Dutch Team is, for many handlers, a valuable thing there is a lot of pressure to have a fair set of trials. This all starts with good rules and regulations and selecting the right judges. But also every minor detail counts, where on a regular trial you can get away with asking a running handler to help, on a qualifier trial this can be(or even look) unfair, therefore a lot of volunteers is needed.

My tasks in this project;

Updating documentation and get approval from the members
Selecting and inviting (international)Judges
Inviting Volunteers
Make travel arrangements for judge & volunteers
Calculate and publish scores and rankings
