Standardisation by André Kik

Drs. ing. André Kik, project analyst at AMPS Delft, has a background in the Merchant Navy where he worked as a helmsman for about ten years. In subsequent years, he has been involved in large-scale investment projects within the oil and gas, (petro)chemical, energy supply, pharmaceutical and civil industries, among others.

In 2010, Kik graduated from the University of Amsterdam on a thesis that investigated the reliability of a simulation model. This model, developed at Stanford University, is capable of significantly increasing the predictability of projects in a standardised way.

In his introduction, Kik does not so much talk about this simulation model, but proactively takes attendees through the aspects of why, and on which, the model was constructed. In this way, participants are able to apply aspects of the model themselves within their own organisations.

Environmental factors by ing. Drewes Hielema, MBA

Drewes Hielema studied mechanical engineering at the HTS in Groningen and obtained an MBA with a thesis entitled 'A Profile of the Future Manager. A Humanistic Psychological Viewpoint'. Besides alternative styles of management, Drewes has devoted special studies to converting biomass and residual waste into environmentally friendly synthetic gases, heat and electricity.

As a project manager, Drewes Hielema built complex technical process plants worldwide in multicultural environments with people of diverse level, knowledge, character and experience. Hielema was project manager of the implementation of the AVR, the Rijnmond waste treatment plant, but also did projects in East Germany, Russia, worked for more than 5 years in Saudi Arabia in acquisition and as project manager. A constant feature is that progress is always under pressure, many different people always have to work together and communication has to be key. As a project manager, Hielema has experience with different cultures, different civilisations and different views on quality and service. It is a task to always keep one's back straight and keep a project on track at the right pace. A first-hand account.

Hielema is doing doctoral research at the TUD. His focus here is the human scale. Projects are not a sequence of successive activities of a technical nature. People value risks in different ways, they interpret concerns from their own fields of vision, cultures and experiences. Many times, irrational considerations come into play. These are not always visible. Nevertheless, a project must come about in a value-driven collaboration between people of different character and origins.
