Setting up trends is a game and lots of fun. Watching trends is my hobby. But Applying trends is my real profession, combining all of my interests - Business & ICT Trends from one end and running an organization on the other end.

As true business solutions believer I'm interested in all kinds of business & ICT trends (xRM, Shift from BI to Performance management, CEM - Customer Engagement management, WEM - Web Engagement management, social CRM, Business driven IT architecture, Agile budgeting & planning, mobile enterprise, MDM - Master Data management, High Performance Workplace, Unified Integration, Agile BPM - Business process management...)

At the same time I'm interested in all aspects of running a business (from setting up financial business plans, business development, sales and marketing to planning, recruitment & coaching people on the job)

As a person, I strongly believe in the following statements:

• First who, then what!
• Make the impossible become possible by thinking out-of-the-box and by confronting the brutal facts, yet never loose faith!
• Implement using a no-nonsense, but integrated approach
• Lead by example, tell the story, set out the vision with lots of enthousiasm & charisma
• Guide the team, stimulate open innovation & truely empower people
• Continuously explore the existing boundaries and build bridges across departments and organizations

Together,we make it happen!
