The Theme of our mangament meeting was to share and discuss our strategic and operational objectives. In order to achieve our strategic objectives innovation will play an important role. Therefor Gijs van Wulfen was invited to give a presentation on this topic. His performance was inspiring, dynamic and sometimes provocative (in a positive way). He brought his story with a good sense of humor.
I would like to thank Gijs van Wulfen very much for his performance. I can recommend Gijs van Wulfen as a high quality speaker in the field of innovation.''
