Many creative or innovative ideas are brilliant, innovative concepts could be promising and opportunities can be realistic but making it happen involves tough choices and requires action at all levels of the organisation.

STRATEGY AS A PATTERN OF THOUGHT
Helmuth von Moltke (1800-1891) was a Prussian General Feldmarschall who not only has been very successful professionally but also rather influential in strategic thinking. He is considered to be the father of the Auftragstaktik or Mission Command.
His credo was that "strategy is a pattern of thought, rather than a series of procedures."
The so called system of expedients captures opportunities and promotes individual application of the strategic intent.
An approach based on the 'auftragstaktik' has clear motivational, commercial as well as operational advantages in mid-size & larger businesses and can help an organisation to achieve its potential by an organized and diciplined deployment of all resources available.

THOUGHT
& TEACHING
Combining theory with practice is what interests me and I'm looking for an opportunity to help students learn more about strategy, its relevance to any organisation and the application in the day-to-day operation.
Whether it's a guest lecture or a limited series of classes, I'm happy to show the next generation leaders, innovators and entrepreneurs what strategy entails, how you can implement as well as execute and how it could enable companies to achieve their full potential.
Feel free to contact me to discuss the possibilities.
The seven M's of Strategy
I intent to write more papers on the subject of strategy. Its merits and significance as well as the formulation, implementation and execution.
The first one as an introduction to strategy, its relevance and a brief preamble to the seven M's,
subsequently one on each of the M’s and what this means on Monday and finally an overview of strategy in general.

RERUN
Rerun is a character from the Charles Schultz comic strip ‘Peanuts’ also featuring Charlie Brown and Snoopy.
Rerun is the little brother of Lucy and Linus van Pelt, two main characters. Rerun got his name from Lucy who considered his arrival a rerun of the birth of Linus. Hence the name Rerun.
From an early age Rerun learns to deal with the harsh reality of life without hiding under a blanket like his brother does.
Schultz the writer, considers Rerun as a kind of interpreter of silent thoughts and impressions.

HUMANITARIAN AID TRIPS
2022
During the month of April, May, June & July of 2022, I have made several trips with Teslawensrit to Poznan or with OnMyWayUA to Przemysl (Poland) close to the Ukrainian border. To deliver humanitarian aid goods and assist in driving Ukrainians to the Netherlands. Below you can find some blogs on the trips to the Ukrainian border.
PRZEMYSL, PATRIOTS & PAINTINGS
There is little I can do when it comes to the war in Ukraine. But the decision to do something, to help the Ukrainian people was an easy one. I have a car, a drivers license and some free time. The organisation On My Way UA (omwua.com) is facilitating both the placement of refugees as well as coordinating who get’s to go with us to Holland. The only thing I have to do is drive. 2 days there and 2 days back to the Netherlands.
The 3 pictures on the left characterises a 4-day trip to the Ukrainian border. A Ukrainian refugee in Przemysl - Poland, NATO operated patriots aimed eastwards and a painting by Leonora Yanko depicting a deceased mother and her child with the title “I’m fine Mama”.
Devastation, decisiveness and dedication: words to describe the situation the Ukrainian people are facing and in which we should not be bystanders but actively help.

The image on the left characterises the situation not only for the Ukraine as is the intent of the artist with this painting but also for the 4 days journey from the Ukrainian border to the Netherlands
We are heading towards a better and brighter future after we have been going through narrow passages as well as some less clear surroundings.
As was written on the back of a Polish truck should the EU do anything to help the Ukrainians as otherwise they could be next.

The image on the right shows the destruction ravaging the Ukraine as a result of the war by Putin's people.
Our third trip to the Polish-Ukrainian border was again impactful but also characterized by delays due to accidents, detours as a result of roadworks and determination of people who want to move forward.
The little help we provide to people that are forced to leave their country, their homes and their livelyhoods was again met by trust & acceptance, hope as well as anxiety but most of all gratefulness.
