In the middle of the business
“What surprised me in a positive way is that Lucas completely dove into our business. He doesn’t just play the role of advisor. He is in the middle of the company: he participates, interacts with partners and customers and picks up activities. In this way, he got a very good picture of our company and our processes.”
In the middle of the change process
“The world around us is changing rapidly. It is not only important as an organization to be aware of and respond to these changes, but even more important is the role of each individual colleague in the change process.”
Putting plan into practice
“Lucas got to know our business very well. He has the gift of being able to put his finger exactly on the sore spot. We are also impressed with the foundation he is able to create to in the form of a plan and how he was able to impress us with it. We like to keep Lucas informed about our progress and if we run into anything, we know where to find him.”
