Gather Knowledge from different sources
and redistribute it by whatever means needed.
I'll help you to better use your
knowledge! Whether the desired result involves computer technology, human
intelligence, organizational design or strategic planning, I'll be flexible
enough to be part of the team that comes up with the desired results.
My core business are research into emotional intelligence at the workplace and creating models of excellence. I'm often involved into training and consulting projects in the domains of Human Resources and Knowledge Management. I operate as part of an international virtual organization, by forming partnerships with other training & consulting organizations with related activities and a similar vision and mission.
In this context my focus currently goes to jobEQ.com, an Application Service Provider I founded to develop & commercialize work related questionnaires. jobEQ's questionnaires are used internationally, and I keep expanding the network.I'm also still working on my Ph.D (as a kind of background project in quiet moments). The topic of the research is a new NLP modeling methodology respecting remarks from the field of philosophy of science. In a first phase I have applied this new methodology to whiplash. My goal was to find out the differences between fast and slow recovery from a whiplash. This phase ended with a peer reveiwed paper published in "Consilio Manuque", the belgian Magazine for Medicine in the context of Accidents". In a second phase this technology became the core of jobEQ.com, software which is useful for recruiting, coaching & training purposes.
Free-lance activities:
Apart from Emotional Intelligence & modeling projects (see jobEQ.com), I have some other activities, such as:
- Real-Estate: management of the Pinehurst Estates (involves project planning, construction coordination, rentmaster work, etc)
- Free-Lance Journalist, specializing in e-HRM and emotional intelligence
- NLP: guest-trainer in NLP based trainings

I keep developing myself so that I have all the capacities needed in order to work in whatever area wanted. Learning is one of my highest values.
In 1997 I became self-employed and founded my own company, Acknowledge, with the aim of helping organizations to better use their Knowledge (see the Acknowlegde website). An important building block in my work became emotional intelligence, and I wrote several books around this theme. Since then, I decided to focus on jobEQ, where more and more of the training, coaching and consulting activities is done by partners. Since 2004, my training and consulting activities are mainly limited to help partners use jobEQ's tools (certify new partners and consultants in new countries, etc).
Ac˛knowledge
Advanced Communication & ConsultingFor 5 years, between oct'92 and sept'97, to be exact, I worked as Knowledge Management Consultant for Warmoes & Van Damme NV. Warmoes was a small consulting firm in Gent, Belgium (from 1985 till end of 1998). The company's mission: "To bring measurable improvements to the activities of the customers, by using Knowledge Management".
I've been working for 8 customers, from the financial sector over transportation to the government. From medium-sized companies to large companies. Projects subjects ranged from planning systems to business process redesign and implementation of complete new computer systems. On these projects, I've done tasks ranging from programming over design to management consulting and project management. (to find out more details, read Projects for Warmoes & Van Damme NV)
Apart from project work, I was in charge of operations within the firm: among my tasks were the management of the MIS (NT Server with Windows Clients), managing the Loggings & Master Schedule, Quality Coordination and assisting in sales and hiring.
Before working for Warmoes & Van Damme, I built up some experience in several areas, most of them related to computer sciences. (see Details on Job experience before 1992)
