Introductions

Please allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Edo ten Klooster. I provide effective strategic IT and business management interventions to quickly address issues in the People, Strategy, Delivery and Structure/Process domains. By bringing clarity in complexity, roadblocks can be adequately removed and business value unleashed, with speed.

I bring a wealth of experience in establishing and optimizing fit-for-purpose business governance regarding IT strategies and IT investments, preparing and validating business cases starting from the business strategy. In particular, I have led the creation of Business Data Strategies in complex business environments to drive more value from (big) data opportunities.

With an extensive global track-record in IT Management & Strategy, including leading large-scale IT program delivery, my interventions can be fast and powerful. I have successfully driven business performance improvements through IT and Data, with change management programs both for large international companies on a global scale  (like Royal Dutch Shell) as well as for medium-sized and small companies.

Leadership development coaching, both of individuals as well as leadership teams, building on the motivation of the individuals, is important to me.

By consistently applying the 80/20 approach, the relevant 20% of the opportunities and actions can be identified which make 80% of the difference in business outcomes. With a pragmatic and seasoned approach, overseeing and integrating the full picture with strong analytical skills, I can make the difference to your business. 

My background is in Applied Mathematics and IT, as a Master of Science graduated at the Technical University Delft, supplemented with a Global Business Leadership Programme from IMD Business School, Lausanne.

As an IEEE Computer Society member since 1985, I am bound by the professional Code of Conduct of the IEEE, the world's largest technical professional organization for the advancement of technology.

As a fully independent consultant, I am professionally networked with BastaGroup, ChangeVision and 4Synergy, as well as providing interim management via Berenschot and Yacht.
