Frequently asked questions.

Thirty minutes, online or on-site. You describe what you are facing, I ask questions, and at the end I tell you what I would do, even if that means you do not need me. No slide deck, no on-the-spot quote.

I work alone. That is the core of the offer: you always get the senior person you spoke to. For execution that needs more hands, I introduce partners I know, with no markup on their rate.

The focus is financial services, retail, industry and professional services. Sector knowledge helps, but the actual questions (prioritizing, choosing, safeguarding) look a lot alike.

Yes, in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Sessions can be in Dutch or English. For engagements with a lot of on-site presence, I factor travel time into the planning.

For an Executive Briefing or an intake, usually within two weeks. For a sprint or assessment it depends on the current schedule: typically three to six weeks out.

A decision, backed by documentation. Everything I deliver is built to help you make a choice. A report that is mainly thorough rarely helps at the moment a decision actually has to happen.

For an assessment: 45-60 minutes per person interviewed, plus two sessions with the core group. For a sprint: five half-day working sessions with four to six people. For a fractional role: the regular meetings that would happen anyway.

Then you get that outcome. For some engagements, the advice is not to buy, to postpone, or to stop. That is usually the advice that saves the most money.

I am there for questions if you would like, but you present. A strategy your advisor has to explain for you is not really yours yet.

For scoped engagements: nothing, unless you ask for something. I do not work with automatic follow-up proposals. I do offer one evaluation conversation after three months as standard, at no cost.

Usually, yes. I work with a standard agreement and can fit into your procurement process, including vendor registration, a certificate of good conduct and proof of insurance.

I work within your policies and do not process company data without a written agreement. Where possible, I work with anonymized or aggregated data. We sign a data processing agreement whenever personal data is involved.

Yes, for analysis and writing. Never with confidential client data in tools that are not approved for that. If your policy sets requirements here, I follow that policy.

You do. All deliverables, frameworks and analyses become your property after payment. I retain the right to reuse generic methodology, never your data, figures or situation.

Yes, professional indemnity and business liability insurance. I share policy details on request during procurement.
