About
Rick van Oosten: independent business consultant, accountable lead at the table
Van Oosten Advies B.V. was founded to offer clients in IT and project work a calm, substantive alternative to larger consultancy houses. The practice is run personally by Rick van Oosten: one point of contact, no internal handovers.
Working principles
Honest about scope
I would rather say up front that a question does not suit me than take on work that does not belong here.
Visible in the work
I work alongside the team: on the work floor, in steering groups, in the technology. Not only on paper.
Document what is needed, no more
Documentation is a means, not an end. I produce what the organisation needs in order to carry on.
