My Team
JanJaap and his team help organizations rethink the way they work and develop new work- and office concepts that impact on organizational goals, productivity, engagement and health of employees. Office concepts are translated to requirements for location, building and interior. JanJaap is specialized in developing work concepts and requirements for corporate clients by balancing corporate best practices and specific local demands based on local conditions, specific workprocesses and country culture.
Previously he held a senior role with Atos Consulting where he developed innovative work and office concepts for a variety of clients mainly in the public sector. He joined the AOS Group in 2012 and since Colliers International acquired the company in 2015 he has been advising a variety of clients on workplace solutions including IBM, Deloitte, ING and many more.
My Master of Applied Cultural Analysis enabled my deeper understanding of different humans and individual contexts. I combine ethnographic toolbox (interview, focus group, observation) with quantitative methods (survey, utilization data) to reveal patterns for strategic decisions that create value. Expertise in understanding end-users of space is a key ingredient in helping organizations to optimize the experience they provide and thereafter attract and retain talent.
I am naturally very curious and continuously learn about trends in our highly dynamic industry, through extensive reading and actively participating in CoreNet Global. In parallel, as a Leesman Advanced Practitioner I interpret Leesman data and distribute their expert knowledge within the industry, embarking on a mission to use independent, evidence-based analysis to make informed decisions about workplaces.
