He also really loves dogs, gardening, and his wife. Not necessarily in that order.
In his own words: “The only constant is change. I help people and organizations to deal successfully with those changes. I use agile, project, program & portfolio management methods and techniques.
These have proven their value to us in practice. My goal is to create demonstrable added value for my customers. Those who effectively deal with change are, after all, the most successful.”

- PRINCE2 is widely recognized and understood and provides a common vocabulary for all project participants.
- Staging of a project is not fixed, but flexibly focused on effective governance.
- PRINCE2 promotes learning from project experience and continual improvement in organizations.
