… who helps organizations find calm and focus

Thanks to his experience, Derk can quickly recognize patterns. One of those patterns is something he sees almost everywhere: in many organizations everyone is too busy to make serious improvements. Or as he puts it: ‘To achieve real change, you need calm and focus – from analysis to implementation.’ Derk gives them that sense of calm and focus, whether they’re implementing a new EPD, directing the supply of information or regaining a grip on healthcare processes.
