Informal education website

Preparing a huge Learning Organization project for a major client, I was studying the system thinking approach of Peter Senge. And during my reading, I discovered an excellent social learning educational site. If you have some interest in the question, check the Infed organization.

2023, the year of tackling your technical debt ?

  Now that the year has started, it's a new dive in the day to day business, running from one client to another, shifting between priorities and deadlines. And what strikes me this year, besides the energy crisis (and the IT CIO costs cut paired to scarce resources), inflation, climate crisis, the Ukrainian war, it's the motivation to change the current status.

Autumn restart

It has been a while since the launch of Blue Soft in Belgium (yes, we started in April!! Nearly six months already 😨😨😨 and yes (thanks for asking!), the business is doing good. We had this new venture started, but we also boosted our Magma head hunting pillar that was literally exploding during the Spring and the Summer. Several profiles we identified for our clients, in the automotive and industry sectors, offering new positions and new career changes to our candidates! Congrats to all of them and good luck with your new endeavors!! And as from end of August, we will continue to work within the Public Sector, through our NTT Belgium collaboration. A lot of fun (and heavy work) yet to come...
