Training

Setting up and providing proper training ensures activities are preformed as documented resulting in a more efficient and concise way of working.

 

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.
