WHY MEDIA WILL
PLAY A CHANGING
ROLE IN THE FUTURE
Dirk Vermant
Dear Reader,
In this Internet era, we all enjoy instant access to information.
Nothing surprising there. What’s more interesting, however, is
that thanks to the Internet ‘authorities’ are slowly but surely disappearing. Take doctors and professors, for example: no longer
are they the sole guardians of health and science knowledge.
This phenomenon also affects business media. To maintain its
significance, business media will have to reinvent itself. A few
years ago, CxO Magazine launched a totally innovative co-creation concept. By making magazines in collaboration with readers, pages not only became more accessible, they also got where
they were meant to go: with editorial content that really did the
job. This novel concept helped CxO Magazine to lay the foundations for the future of our media. This makes you, the readers,
the winners of this unique media model, by helping each other
out in a smart way.
But co-creation does not end at our national borders. Better yet,
through upscaling, co-creation can be rolled out throughout
Europe, and even worldwide. By offering you a European outlet, CxO Magazine helps make businesses smarter and stronger.
That’s why, as a prelude to our European plans, the magazine
will feature many English and French articles. By making this
co-creation model international, we aim to set an example to the
many SMEs eager to stand up and be counted. We stimulate and
give insights, drawing on knowledge from international sources.
Omdat de klanten van BASE mobieler zijn,
biedt BASE hen megasnel 4G, waar ze ook zijn.
KMO’S BESPAREN DANKZIJ BASE GEMIDDELD 41%* OP HUN
MOBIELE TELECOMBUDGET. CONTACTEER ONS EN LATEN WE SAMEN
BEREKENEN HOEVEEL UW ONDERNEMING KAN BESPAREN.
Because businesses do better when they’ve got the right information, that’s our goal. In these days of overflowing inboxes and
information overload, CxO Magazine facilitates better strategic
decision-making. How? CxO Magazine gathers information and
filters it for independence, reliability and relevance, helping to
keep you on the right course.
Happy reading!

AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP: ROOM FOR ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS
WE LEAD THE COMPANY WITH AMBITION
AND ON A HUMAN SCALE
“What you see is what you get – this goes for Argenta, and for me.” Thus speaks John Heller, Argenta CEO
for a good 5 years “with the ambition of making Argenta the best bank in Belgium. Over the last few years
the bank has grown from 300 to 800 staff members and last year we posted profit of 157 million euros.”
Katharina Müllen
encourages vitalizing
leadership: the healthy
way to sustainable
performance and
a happy life: www.
mindaware.org
She is active in www.
ALIVE-Dialogue.org.
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
Between patience
– the grass doesn’t
grow any faster than
you can cut it – and
impatience – if it
doesn’t happen
I’ll explode – John
Heller is busy using
the Argenta DNA –
transparent, honest,
sober, no-nonsense,
long-game, strong
customer relations
– to become
the best bank in
Belgium. “The best
– not the biggest:
it’s possible, we’ve
done such amazing
things in recent
years and we’re flatout busy catching up
in areas where we’re
not number one.”
[email protected]
WWW.CXONET.BE
“But Argenta still has plenty of room
for improvement. I have not yet
reached my benchmark. Personal
leadership development is just as
important as a solid trading result.
This applies, of course, to the young
talent, but we also depend on the people who have been carrying Argenta
for many years: professional, creative
energy is critical here. ”
IF I MIGHT ASK
When, at the age of 37, I first assumed
responsibility for leading a company,
I asked myself: “What am I doing?
I’m too young for this responsibility.” Fortunately I was able to find
a mentor who pointed me towards
loads of relevant books. But I was
frightened to death surrounded by
so much experience. Spurred on by
my own limitations, I began to ask
questions. Over the years I’ve noticed
that this works best: an interrogative
style combined with setting a fixed
direction. That’s how I stimulate our
young talents.
TEACHING ORGANIZATION
ness and how to achieve it. A stimulating environment is important.
‘The context brings on change’, that
sentence struck during a presentation
by Prof. Ghoshal. That’s just one of
the reasons why I’d like to transform this building into a stimulating
work environment in which together
we can create a village community
that helps to encourage interaction
between people – work-related, of
course.
LEADERSHIP PROFILE
Driving people on by constantly
reminding them of their roots soon
burns you out. Driving for ever
greater productivity makes no sense;
we need a different style of leadership.
In Argenta we try to do this via a profile in which five aspects are central:
team-mindedness, responsibility,
initiative, achieving results together,
and professional knowledge. We look
to the balance between these qualities
without hierarchy. This development
– the technical and the human ¬– is
crucial for the future of our company.
Am I doing something special? No,
not really. Anyone can do it – so have
confidence in them.
It’s much more difficult to get a group
of people pulling the same way once
they’ve been in the company for
20–40 years. What kind of environment should I create for them?
People are looking for different
organizational models: our way of
organizing in big organizations is
not ‘human’. I have to deal with this
every day. I believe that you have to
trigger energy in people. What do I
take home with me from experience
in other companies and voluntary
organizations? “Be open yourself!” ANYTHING GOES
In fact I’m in constant dialogue with The best things I see around me here
the people in Argenta about open- are all about well-qualified young
talent. They are socially engaged
and genuinely interested in corporate
social responsibility, sustainability,
etc. They are consciously busy with
choices: ‘Where do I want to work?’,
‘What do I want to learn?’, ‘What do
I want?’ more than ever before, that’s
my feeling.
We pay close attention to these young
talents so that they can gain wide
experience. I like it when these people
experience a very fast-tracked development. The impact of people who
get the freedom, space, coaching and
mentoring that they deserve is great.
“A ny t hing goes”, a mot to of
Feyerabend that means that we must
break down the obstacles of the commonly accepted – that’s after my own
heart. So I like to see our people seize
opportunity, take up space, use creativity, show initiative and assume
responsibility to make this company.
That’s Argenta’s pool for the future.
Als uw bedrijf haar verpakkingsafval sorteert, is dat niet alleen goed voor het
milieu maar ook financieel voordelig. Want VAL-I-PAC biedt financiële steun aan
bedrijven die hun verpakkingsafval selectief inzamelen en laten ophalen om gerecycleerd te worden. Niet verbazend dat zoveel kmo’ers er al werk van maken.
John Heller, CEO Argenta since 2009.

BUSINESS MAGA ZINE ON INNOVATION, LE ADERSHIP, STR ATEGY AND VISION
COVER ARTICLE: PROFESSOR MICHAEL BRAUNGART AND ‘UPCYCLE’
“WE SHOULD NOT DO FEWER THINGS BADLY,
BUT RATHER MORE THINGS WELL.”
Authors Michael Braungart (chemist) and William McDonough (architect) give their vision of a sustainable
society in ‘The Upcycle’. The book is full of new insights and presents a remarkable approach for redesigning
products and the way in which we produce and use energy. A plea for sustainability as an opportunity to
experience greater well-being and prosperity. CxO Magazine spoke to Michael Braungart in Brussels at the
Prologistics trade fair.
IN OTHER WORDS,
IT CONCERNS THE MATERIALS
USED IN PRODUCTS?
MB: “Products are designed in as
energy-efficient a way as possible
or with a view to their energy-efficient use. Energy efficiency is not
the most important criterion, however. Renewable sources will help
us to produce our energy more
economically in the future. The
substances we use in products are
more important. Can all substances
be used again? Umicore, for example, recovers only 9 out of the 40 elements present in mobile phones for
recycling and generating a return on
them. Fine, but we can also think
about methods for giving all these
elements a new life.”
Arn Borstlap
Prof. Dr. Michael Braungart from Germany gained fame in 2002 with his book entitled
‘Cradle to cradle: remaking the way we make things’. With ‘The Upcycle: beyond sustainability designing for abundance’, he publishes the long-awaited sequel to that work.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN UPCYCLING AND
RECYCLING?
YOU ADVOCATE
DESIGNING PRODUCTS
DIFFERENTLY RIGHT FROM
Michael Braungart (MB): “When THE BEGINNING?
something is recycled, it is actually
subjected to ‘downcycling’. Down,
because recycled paper looks different
from ‘fresh’ paper. ‘The Upcycle’ theory goes one step beyond the theory
behind Cradle to Cradle: rather than
continuously reusing materials in a
closed-loop system as proposed in the
first book, The Upcycle suggests that
humans can have a net positive effect.”
WWW.CXONET.BE
MB: “The bottom line is that products are designed in such a way that
they can be reused from the beginning to the end. No more harmful
substances should ever be used,
not even if they are just somewhat
less harmful than the substances
they replace. It must be possible to
apply and use everything we make
again.”
SHOULD PACKAGING
ALSO BE DESIGNED
DIFFERENTLY?
MB: “Packaging materials are polluting our planet more than ever.
Each year, 7 million tons of plastic disappear into the oceans, with
60% of this in the form of packaging. Something can be done about
the impact. Eat more oysters, for
example, because they contain dozens of types of plastic (laughing).
However, we do not solve anything
by minimising the damage. We have
to look for positive business solutions and opportunities. We can
rethink the materials in packaging, for example. Because the ratios
OKT-NOV 2014
are skewed. Why does packaging
still consist of an average of 2%
PVC globally? PVC is necessary, it
is said, to make packaging cheaper,
but the cost of re-using PVC packaging is many times higher in proportion. The key question is: what
is the best, healthiest and safest
packaging, not: how can we make
packaging as cheaply as possible?
Packaging that ends up in the ocean
is certainly not the best packaging.
Being good means modeling our
production systems on biological
systems; eliminating the concept of
waste. Instead of designing plastics
that end up in the ‘pacific garbage
patch’, designing polymers that,
once we’re finished with them for a
particular use, become materials for
other uses.”
YOU ARE PUTTING PRESSURE
ON PRODUCT AND PACKAGING
DESIGNERS.
MB: “Designs are the first sign of
human intention and who would
have the intention of creating a system that pollutes our air, our water
and our mother’s milk with harmful chemicals? Why replace a light
bulb with a low-energy bulb containing toxic substances? That’s
not a solution. Another example:
a car contains various steel alloys
based on various types of materials. However, this steel is used
again afterwards in the construction industry. See what happens: in
1999, 20.000 people were killed in
an earthquake in Turkey, with many
buried under collapsed houses. In
the West, they said the Turks could
not build decent houses. The fact
is, though, that Turkey imported
5.5 million cars a year from the US
and Europe at that time and the car
steel was reused as construction
steel. But because increasingly less
copper was and is processed for cars
for reasons of energy efficiency, car
steel is becoming more brittle, with
all the consequences of this.”
OKT-NOV 2014
DO YOU HAVE EXAMPLES OF
UPCYCLING?
MB: “It could be interesting to
erect solar panels next to the rail
tracks. That way, the track is upcycled. Electricity that is generated
can finance and drive the train.
Another example of upcycling is
water conservation. While taking
shorter showers has often been a
proposed solution for making the
water shortage problem less bad,
we suggest filtering the used water
and using solar power to heat it. In
doing this, people can shower for as
long as they want without creating
any ‘bad’ at all. In fact, this could
result in a positive effect as people
will, in theory, be happier and more
relaxed from long, warm showers.”
YOU CALL FOR A ‘BENEFICIAL
FOOTPRINT’. LOGISTICS PLAY AN
IMPORTANT ROLE IN THIS REGARD.
MB: “Yes, why can’t we build trucks
that also protect the air as well as
transport goods? Or look at the big
logistics warehouses, often huge
areas that are ‘dead’ places. Why
can we not design them differently
and make them much more productive at a low cost? They could be
made into habitats for rare species
of animals, or with walls designed
in such a way that they absorb
dust or refresh the air or water.
Sustainability revolves too often
nowadays around reducing emissions or ‘doing fewer things badly’.
Upcycling does not merely concern
redesigning products, it has consequences for the entire environment.
These are the ideas of doing things
right, creating things people want to
use while not losing anything in the
process, and taking into account the
long-term health and happiness of
societies.”
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
“While incremental
sustainability
initiatives might
create short-term
profits, longterm success for
businesses, society
and the planet are
almost a guarantee
when innovation
and upcycling are
the main focus,”
says Prof. Dr.
Braungart.

What do workers expect from their bosses? What
motivates them and how is their commitment roused?

EVALUATION AS AN OBLIGATORY NUMBER?
Only 40 per cent feel that evaluation talks with the boss
have a motivating effect. The rest report that they have
too little or even no effect at all. The number is irrelevant: what matters here is the duration, quality and
content. Workers mostly want to talk about future
prospects, promotion and training courses. Then
again, it seems that the formulation of individual objectives does not have a motivating effect, something that
is frequently a subject in an evaluation. But a pat on the
back can work wonders. Giving the worker the feeling
that he/she has done something good has a direct positive effect in terms of commitment.
FOCUS ON TEAM LEVEL AND WELL-BEING
“If you have a team that knows what it’s working
towards and is proud to do so, your workers are also
more motivated.” Koen once again emphasizes the role
of executives. “The attainment of targets is at present
excessively focused at individual level, while it’s precisely at team level that there is a pressing need for concrete objectives. At an individual level, companies must
focus more on how they might support their workers
in order to achieve objectives.” One important lever to
motivate workers is to give them the feeling that you
feel for them, that you too are concerned. But on this
human side, bosses do not score well. However, to close
on a positive note: the research appears to show that
bosses do better when it comes to informing, leading
by example and involving workers when decisions have
to be taken.

DE L’INFORMATIQUE
GESTUELLE
Le contrôle gestuel des ordinateurs, consoles et autres

domestique et professionnelle. L’un des leaders mondiaux de
ce gigantesque marché est bruxellois. Il s’appelle SoftKinetic.
Jean-Luc Manise
Tout a commencé en 2000 avec un trio travaillant sur
un logiciel capable de piloter un écran par le geste. Avec
le soutien de la région bruxelloise, Xavier Baele, Eric
Krezlo et Gille Pinault vont opérer une première levée
de fonds en 2008 et créer une spin off. Parmi ses actionnaires, on trouve Belgacom, un fond belgo-luxembourgeois et la Région Wallonne. La société va se doter d’un
PDG, Michel Tombroff, et d’un studio de création de
contenu basé à Charleroi. Elle va nouer des partenariats
avec différents fabricants de caméras 3d et en particulier avec Optrima, une startup issue de la VUB. En
matière de caméras 3d miniatures, celle-ci a une longueur technologique d’avance, tant et si bien que les
deux petites structures fusionneront leurs activités
en 2011. « Un moment » au dire du PDG de la jeune
société, « déterminant pour le secteur de l’électronique
grand public international ». Le package se compose
du logiciel de reconnaissance gestuelle 3D iisu et d’une
famille de capteurs et de caméras 3D. Le Middelware
est ouvert et les développeurs intéressés peuvent créer
à loisir des interfaces gestuelles et des applications. En
fait, le nouveau kit de Softkinetic est le chaînon manquant qui vient combler le « fossé interactif » qui existe
entre le jeu vidéo, le cinéma, la musique ou la navigation sur le Web. Comment ? En devenant le standard
de l’interaction gestuelle sans contrôleur pour caméras
et capteurs 3D.

Quelques années plus tard, Sofkinetic est effectivement devenu l’un des poids lourds de l’industrie des

composants 3D. Elle fabrique ses propres caméras 3D
pilotées par son désormais célèbre logiciel de reconnaissance gestuelle iisu. La société compte plus de 200
employés et des implantations en Belgique (Bruxelles et
Jumet) bien sûr, mais aussi aux USA et en Corée du Sud.
SoftKinetic était sur la short list de Microsoft pour
équiper de son capteur 3D la console de jeu Kinect.
Microsoft lui préférera finalement PrimeSense mais
SoftKinetic sera retenu par Sony. Du coup, on retrouve
sa caméra stéréoscopique dans la PlayStation 4. Elle
permet une interaction sans fil avec la console. Et puis il
y aura les accords signés avec Intel et Texas Instruments
IISU AU CŒUR DES PROCESSEURS INTEL
Lors du dernier CES 2014 à Las Vegas, le stand d’Intel
consacrait une quinzaine de mètres carrés aux solutions basées sur la technologie de reconnaissance gestuelle de la startup bruxelloise. Selon le fondeur, la
technologie iisu devrait être intégrée à différents terminaux Windows dès cette année. On pourra alors
naviguer sous Windows 8 par le geste, créer d’un mouvement de la main des salles de conférence numérique
ou jouer à mains nues avec son PC. Quelques mois
plus tard, SoftKinetic a transformé l’essai avec Intel
qui commercialise désormais en direct le middleware
de SoftKinect. On va donc très rapidement retrouver
iisu intégré dans les prochaines familles d’ultrabook,
notebook et autres tablettes. Intel propose la solution
sous forme de pack avec le SDK Perceptual Computing
d’Intel, un kit disponible gratuitement pour les développeurs d’applications. Texas Instruments a annoncé
pour sa part qu’il fabriquera et vendra les senseurs de
SoftKinetic aux entreprises intéressées par leur intégration. L’une des premières concrétisation du partenariat
s’est traduit par le lancement par Creative d’une caméra
3D à clipser directement sur l’écran de son ordinateur
portable. C’est la première étape vers la commercialisation de caméras 3D grand public.

la gestuelle ; elle offre aux consommateurs une expérience naturelle,

Evy and André have an intellectual disability and went for the
gold in the Special Olympics. Evy and André are looking for
a job. For the SO European Summer Games 2014, Antwerp
Management School examined how these athletes can use their
talents both on the sports field and in the workplace.
Joke Schrauwen,
Evy Ploegaerts,
André Schepers
and Bart Cambré
(Antwerp
Management
School)
Only 15% of working-age people with an intellectual
disability are currently employed. The majority of them
work in a sheltered workshop. But what is the added
value of people with an intellectual disability in a normal economic circuit? How can we improve inclusion
in companies? We found out with an inclusive research
team: Evy and André took part in the interviews, analyzed and discussed the results. They turned out to be
natural-born researchers. Together we visited eight
companies where people with an intellectual disability work or where sheltered workplaces send a group of
employees on secondment together with a coach.
INCLUSION IS MORE THAN JUST HIRING PEOPLE WITH
A DISABILITY
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
Following the motto
‘Special Olympics
athletes do not
only have talents
on the sports field,
but also in the
workplace’, Antwerp
Management School
investigated the
added value of
inclusion of people
with an intellectual
disability in regular
companies.
[email protected]
WWW.CXONET.BE
First and foremost, inclusion takes place when there is
an actual collaboration. This means that mixed teams
of disabled and non-disabled people work on a common
goal. Moreover, successful inclusion focuses on both
people and profit. On the one hand, colleagues are not
perceived as ’persons with a disability’. The focus will
lie on the abilities and talent of this colleague. They
get the opportunity to grow in their job by training or
minor adjustments to the surroundings. Thanks to this
people-focused approach, colleagues with an intellectual disability can experience the advantages of inclusion in the best possible way: financial freedom, (relative) independence and an increase in quality of life
and self-confidence. But employers may not lose track
of profit. Most of the time, diversity or inclusive actions
are undertaken because of regular business advantages or economic pull factors. Sometimes an additional
business advantage is the generating of new businesses
or relocating work from low-wage countries. Especially
the inexpensive labor cost is a decisive argument.

thanks to a philanthropic approach. There are a lot of
good intentions there, but with little result. A second
view, the cost-cutting strategy, reduces employment to
an economic transaction. Employing people with disabilities is inexpensive, since they are partly subsidized.
Therefore why not do it? A third possibility is excuse
inclusion. They do employ people with disabilities,
but without much (of an economic or humane) vision.
Here we find the so-called quota companies, who create
employment because of agreements with stakeholders
or governments. The fourth approach is characterized
by companies and organizations that offer people with
intellectual disabilities custom work, paying attention
to both the human aspects and the economic needs
of the organization. Social innovators we call them,
because they work from an inclusive vision on work
and society.
JOB DESIGN AS A KEY
An important key to social innovation is job design.
When it comes to vacancies requiring a predetermined
set of tasks or teamwork where team members are interchangeable, people with a disability are often excluded..
The best way to achieve an inclusive team is customization. This can be done by ‘on the job’ job development:
an assessment of basic competences results in the hiring
of new employees. Subsequently they receive small tasks
to test how employable they are in different work processes. The final job is then adjusted to their individual
skills and expectations. However, when employees find
that the job is a bad fit, they must be able to reorientate
quickly without loss of income. Finally, job carving can
be used as a technique in this customization. With this,
tasks of a team are split up into specialized and unskilled work. This way, employees with an intellectual
disability can perform unskilled work.
FROM ‘SPECIALS’ TO SPECIALISTS
If we want the athletes of the Special Olympics to also
excel as specialists in the workplace, people with and
without disabilities must have opportunities to work
together. Customization in job design is an important
key to achieve this. A more inclusive society can arise
when governments do not cut thoughtlessly in budgets
of support infrastructure and subsidies to reduce the
wage bill. The empowerment of people with a disability
is also important and can be done by focusing on their

3. EVOLUTION PAR CLASSE D’EMPLOI
Malgré la complexité et la règlementation du secteur on constate que les indépendants restent très nombreux. Mais leur
nombre diminue constamment au profit des sociétés, dont le nombre croît, sans arriver à compenser. Les indépendant représentaient 37.25% du secteur en 2010, contre 30.33% aujourd’hui.

8. LES PLUS GRANDS ACTEURS
Les toutes petites entreprises font l’immense majorité du secteur. Mais leur nombre diminue. Les petits employeurs croissent lentement et les autres sont stables. Contrairement aux secteurs plus classiques, on trouve ici une forte proportion de moyen et gros
employeurs dont le nombre est stable sur la durée.
Le score est une approche du risque de faillite. Les petites structures sont toujours plus fragiles. Il n’est donc pas anormal de voir
les SPRL et les indépendants dans des zones plus faibles. Par contre, les indépendants le sont particulièrement. Fragiles, certes. En
décroissance aussi. Même si les faillites restent exceptionnelles.

THE EUROPEAN FEDERATION OF QUALITY MANAGEMENT (EFQM)
IN ASSOCIATION WITH EFQM
EFQM: CELEBRATING
25 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE
EFQM is a not for profit foundation, founded in 1989 by 67 leading European companies to provide a common approach to restore European competitiveness on the global stage. The EFQM Excellence Model was developed
to provide this approach and has since been adopted by more than 30.000
organisations in Europe and many more beyond.
© EFQM
The quest for excellence is not an
abstract theory; it relates to an
organisation’s tangible achievements in what it does, how it does it,
the results it gets and the confidence
that these results will be sustained
in the future. Achieving excellence
is hard enough at the best of times;
sustaining it in today’s world of
increasing global competition, rapid
technological innovation, changing
processes and frequent movement
in economic, social and customer
environments, is even harder.
WWW.CXONET.BE
Enlightened organisations understand that in addition to demonstrating the outcomes of past financial performance, their results
must also include data and feedback from other stakeholders that
will provide predictive indications
of future financial performance.
These leading indicators include
measured excellence in customer
satisfaction and loyalty; people
motivation and capability; and the
positive perceptions of the wider
community.
To create confidence that positive results can be sustained, any
organisation can search for evidence that actions and efforts are
soundly based, systematic, and continuously reviewed and improved.
The challenge goes further than
this though. Corporate confidence
is also based on an organisation’s
ability, own insight and knowledge
of its strengths and opportunities for improvement, particularly
in relation to its ability to identify
and develop strategies and align the
organisation to deliver those strategies to enhance performance.
Using a process EFQM calls self-assessment, organisations have the
possibility to produce a comprehensive picture of their overall fitness at
a given moment in time. This picture, which gives valuable feedback
on the effectiveness and efficiency
of the organisation’s approaches
across all its activities, provides a
powerful driver for meaningful
improvement.

“The strengths of the EFQM

recognised outside Europe;
organisations from Iceland to
Australia, from Thailand to

“EFQM has played a critical role
in the development of the Global

a decade ago, introduced us to the
continuous performance model,
which inspired the Global Compact’s

methodology.”
“ The increasing pressure to compete

process, EFQM aims to improve
the overall competitiveness of the
European economy. Does it work? If
you look at how industry standards
have evolved over the last 25 years,
you can clearly see the influence of
the concepts contained within the
Model. The most visible example of
this is in the area of sustainability.
When the Model was first launched
in 1992 to support the Award process, many questioned the inclusion
of “Impact on Society” within the
results criteria. Few organisations
would now question the need to take
their social responsibilities clearly
and the development of standards
like ISO14001 (Environment) and
the ISO26000 guidelines (Corporate
Responsibility) effectively demonstrate this normalisation process at
work.
HOW EFQM MAKES A DIFFERENCE?
Marc Amblard, EFQM’s Chief
Executive Officer, says “The range
of organisations who choose to use
the EFQM Model to support their
development is really incredible.
Within our network, we see everyone from household names through
to SMEs. The Model provides a
common language that enables
them to easily exchange ideas and
experience. ”

CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE
THE EFQM EXCELLENCE AWARD
WINNER 2014. WHAT DOES THIS
ACHIEVEMENT MEAN TO YOU?
Winning the EFQM Award makes
us extremely proud because it is an
important recognition for us on
our “Journey towards Excellence”.
After having been awarded with
the EFQM prize in the category
“Managing by Processes” in 2012
OKT-NOV 2014
this year’s Award demonstrates
that we have developed our excellence approach even further over
the last two years. Being, therefore,
perceived as a continuously improving organisation is a tremendous
acknowledgment and a big motivation for us.
APART FROM THE AWARD, YOU
WON 3 PRIZES. WHAT IS IT THAT
YOU DO THAT MAKES YOU SO
SPECIAL?
In this year’s Feedback Report the
assessors highlighted that the entire
organisation understands our site
strategy and actively contributes to
achieving our targets. We consider
the high level of involvement of our
associates in strategic projects and
the continuous improvement work
as the key success factors of our
excellence approach.
The topic of the Good Practice Visit
we hosted in 2013 - “Processes and
Passion” - reflects two important
aspects of this approach. On the one
hand performance requires a strict
application of standards and principles, but on the other hand the attitude of our associates to continuously outperform their targets gives
surely the power to jump over the
hurdle and face the next challenge.
In Bari “Processes and Passion” are
not a contrasting pair but a powerful combination.
WHY WOULD YOU RECOMMEND
USING THE MODEL TO OTHER
ORGANISATIONS?
Bosch Bari started to familiarise
with the Model in 2004. Based on
ten years’ experience we can confirm that the EFQM Model is a
comprehensive framework guiding
an organisation in the development
of a sound, consistent and sustainable improvement system. However,
only if the organisation endeavouring to apply the EFQM model finds
its individual, best fitting way of
adaptation and implementation,
success will result. Without doubt it
remains a journey of trial and error,
but in the end the improvement fostered by the thorough application
of the RADAR logic and the steady
learning from assessment feedback
prevails. Only a holistic approach is
finally sustainable.

THE WORLD AS SUBJECTIVELY EXPERIENCED BY THE CUSTOMER AS THE CENTRAL STARTING POINT
DESIGN THINKING: THE BASIS FOR
USER-FRIENDLY
INNOVATION
Imagine: the most exclusive product in your range falls prey to copycats, or a new law suddenly puts paid to a
huge part of your product portfolio. That’s what happened to foam gun manufacturer Altachem and producer
of balustrades Mavaro. Admittedly, they stood there a while scratching their heads. But finally they managed
to turn things to their advantage with some clever innovations. Their secret? Design thinking.
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
Design thinking is a way of thinking in which the world experienced
by the customer is the one central
starting point for every thought
process and, ergo, every innovation
process. Tine Peeters from Studio
Dott explains: “In design thinking,
you first bring into play your emotions, experiences and your customer’s expectations so as to then
(re)design the solution holistically
and innovate, on the basis of the
customer’s perception of reality.
Whether you’re offering products or
services, and whatever sector you’re
working in: this is how to optimize
your solutions in a people-first way.”

uct. Initially, the company considered two options: going low-cost
itself, or developing a new top
product. But Altachem decided to
first examine the role that the gun
had occupied in supplying its customers (foam manufacturers) and
then discussing the matter with
them. This was how a third and
much better alternative took shape:
together with the foam manufacturers, Altachem designed a number of
variants of the foam gun, personalized according to the manufacturer’s brand identity.
“Today, each foam manufacturer
placing big orders with the company has a customized gun with
its own branding. This new, vertically oriented customer relations
model offers more than one advantage: not only is it harder to copy the
personalized guns, but customer
loyalty has increased considerably.
By considering the real challenges
and opportunities for its customers,
Altachem managed to innovate in
a truly customer-minded way. An
approach that is much more successful than going low-cost itself,
or looking for another top product
and that perhaps would not be copied quite so quickly by the competition,” says Tine.
TOOLS TO AID UNDERSTANDING
However obvious setting out from
the subjective world of the customer
may sound, we know of many companies that have only a superficial
knowledge of what their customers want. Maka De Lameillieure,
Managing Director of Flanders
InShape, explains: “People do things
they don’t talk about. It’s crucial to
OKT-NOV 2014
get to know their explicit needs and
dig deeper to also map the latent
needs.” There are many ways of
doing this. Think of, say, keeping
a diary (ideal for, for example, customers of an organizer of long journeys) or holding an in-depth interview, like Altachem did. Both are
tools for better understanding the
context, feelings and motives of the
customers.
Observation techniques are also
crucial to capture all aspects of
customer behaviour. “You can, for
example, study the user of your
product or service in his most natural environment, without getting in his way (so-called f ly-onthe-wall observation),” says Maka.
“Visibly ‘shadowing’ someone in
his normal environment is also a
good technique, although it does
risk having an involuntary impact
on the behaviour of the person you
are observing. Then you can also go
for the think-aloud technique: that
way you get the user to comment on
his actions. That can also often yield
new insights.”
LATENT WISHES BROUGHT TO LIGHT
Whichever technique is used, it
boils down to digging deeper than

De wetgeving over “intellectuele eigendom” wordt
gebundeld in het nieuwe boek XI ‘Intellectuele eigendom’ van het Wetboek van Economisch Recht. Dit
boek bevat de bepalingen over uitvindingsoctrooien,
aanvullende beschermingscertificaten, kwekersrechten, auteursrechten en naburige rechten, computerprogramma’s, rechten van producenten van databanken
en topografieën van halfgeleiderproducten. De bundeling bevat een codificatie van 13 wetten. In principe
geeft boek XI deze wetgeving ongewijzigd weer. De
codificatie heeft evenwel een aantal wijzigingen aangebracht om meer juridische zekerheid te verkrijgen en
om Europese richtlijnen om te zetten. De aanpassingen
aan het octrooirecht hebben hoofdzakelijk tot doel: de
regeling van het taalgebruik preciseren; het taksensysteem flexibeler maken; precisering voor bepaalde
taksen wat de gevolgen zijn bij niet-naleving van de
betaaltermijnen; verduidelijking m.b.t. de inhoud
van het octrooidossier dat ter inzage aan het publiek

De oprichting van dergelijk gerecht zal voor een efficiëntere procesvoering zorgen. Octrooihouders en

Bovendien zullen er zo ook tegenstrijdige uitspraken
vermeden worden. Het eengemaakt octrooigerecht zal

investment partnership. Why not
start one yourself? Do you know
that it is possible to leverage your
existing collection by buying more
art since it is possible to use your
art collection as a pawn for a loan.
And what is wrong in considering buying from emerging artists?
Why not concentrate on developing markets such as China, Brazil,
Russia, the Middle East and India.
By the way, for collectors with time
and expertise, a great way to turn
art into money is by buying works
with great potential for major auctioneers at local or regional auction
houses.
In this world, the rule “buy low and
sell high” applies. There is no ideal
time to sell, however. In art, there
are no quick trades. Appreciation
may take years or even decades.
The answer to the question: “Is art
a good investment?” is yes and no.
“Yes” because you can make money
in art. And “no” because you can’t
control taste. Prices can go up as fast
as they go down. Like any other first

buyers do not necessarily understand why and how taste drives the
market and the prices. Perhaps the
best way is to justify your investment always by purchasing art you
like. When art prices fall, you will at
least be able to enjoy the beauty of
what you decided to invest in.
people in the world of art. That’s
important because these opinions
drive the market price. It shouldn’t
keep you from buying a piece of
art from an unknown artist who
received a bad press review. In
essence, a good way to minimize
risk is to take into account what
the world of art thinks of an artist.
On the other hand, minimized risk
usually increases the price because
other people are interested in the
artist. Additionally, it is not exceptional to see an unknown artist trigger all of a sudden an inexplicable
return on investment. Or no return
at all. In other words, after all, it is
up to you!

Dr. Peggy De Prins: “If too few
workers leave the organization, a
sort of ossification seizes the personnel pool and the organization.
Almost no young blood joins up and
the result is a marked greying and
ageing. If the outflow is excessively
large and undesired, there is the
threat of substantial loss of knowledge, experience and network. The
organization as ‘teaching organization’ then becomes a hollow concept, and process stability is compromized. Labour market literature
uses the term ‘churn’: outflow that
exceeds the basic level of turnover
current in the industry sector. For
organizations, ‘churn’, for strategic,
costs and sustainability reasons, is
a delicate matter. Organizations
therefore prefer to anticipate as
quickly as possible by gaining an
understanding of the reasons for
voluntary departure. On that basis,
a tailored retention policy can then

WHAT CAN WE LEARN
FROM GANESH?
Ganesh is a young boy who has to make his way to school each day through the hellish
Indian traffic of his city. Ganesh winds his way between the stationary cars until he sees the
cause of all the misery: a fallen tree …
Ganesh stands there in his soaked
shirt with his book sack on his
back. He is the only one to take
the initiative to remedy the situation. He puts his book sack down
on the ground and, with his little
hands, sets about trying to move
the gigantic tree. Needless to say,
the tree does not move an inch, but
his example touches people. Some
of the drivers now feel called to
follow the inspiring example and
go to lend a helping hand. Soon
there is a fair-sized group of people pushing against the tree. The
‘stronger together’ initiative under
the inspiring example of little
Ganesh helps to remedy the situation. The tree finally moves and
the road is clear.
WHAT CAN MANAGERS AND
EXECUTIVE STAFF LEARN FROM
GANESH?
Nowadays an executive has to
give more and more leadership via
soft skills, people management
and leading by example. People
are always looking for examples
that inspire, motivate, and stimulate them to become better and
to develop. So today’s and tomorrow’s leaders need to be more and
more mindful of the inf luence
of their behaviour on their colleagues. However, change calls for
application, discipline and perseverance.

It takes a full 20 to 60 days before
a new action or behaviour is transformed into second nature. It also
takes a while before this change in
action or behaviour is even noticed
by the target group, especially when
it comes to minor (more subtle)
changes. Patience is therefore an
important factor in success, but
patience has its rewards! Everyone
involved in change management
will agree that minor changes are
implemented much more easily and
quickly than major, sudden, outof-nowhere changes. Resistance is
lower because the change itself is
perceived as less radical.
EARLY ADOPTERS AND LAGGERS
but have no option except to follow
(for one reason or another). Timehonoured hierarchical structures
of yesteryear are disappearing. In
new forms of organization the rank
and file are more closely involved in
the daily run of events. Every initiative therefore merits consideration.
Every member of personnel expects
consideration and appreciation.
Every worker, from his/her perspective, can provide another way
of looking at a situation, such that
the solution is perhaps found more
quickly than one might first have
thought. Just like young Ganesh
did great things with one small deed,
individual workers can offer a small
tip or contribution that has a considerable impact on their colleagues or
even throughout the whole organization. Leaders and managers who
care about their workers will do all
that they can to bring about success
moments in their organizations
- and also to share them as much
as possible. Sharing and celebrations stimulate the team spirit and
have an inspiring effect. Everyone
wants to be in the picture and be
celebrated. But be careful that this
does not degenerate into undesirable
competitiveness, because that has a
more counterproductive effect.
As in any change or renewal course
there are early adopters en laggers. This is the second reason
why patience, discipline and perseverance pay off. Early adopters are naturally inclined to be
quickly convinced and are open
to new things. Once they remain
convinced and radiate the change
in behaviour, attitude, etc., their
colleagues will automatically follow. Early adopters are the ambassadors who welcome the doubters
in at the door. Then come the real
‘followers’ - those who follow from
herd instinct or “because that is how
it is”. Last but not least you have the
laggers - those who do not believe in You can see the video on

DE SOLLICITANT IS
DE BAAS
In de strijd tegen ‘War for talent’ wordt het activeren en
benutten van talenten dé uitdaging. Begin september
vond bij Faculty Club de jaarlijkse Masterclass van
Recruitment2020 in samenwerking met B2A plaats.
Het centrale thema was ‘Sollicitant is de baas’.
1. De bevolking op arbeidsleeftijd
zal krimpen vanaf 2016-2017.
De invloed van migratie op onze
arbeidsmarkt is gedaald en zal
blijven dalen. Ons land is voor
migranten immers minder interessant dan het ooit is geweest.
CxO Redactie
2. De versnelling van de demografische wissel. Er is de laatste jaren
heel wat regelgeving uitgewerkt
rond vervroegd pensioen en
brugpensioen, waardoor heel wat
50-plussers vervroegd de arbeidsmarkt verlaten. Dit zorgt voor een
groot natuurlijk verloop en een
groot aantal vervangingsvacatures. Deze laatste dienen op een of
andere manier te worden ingevuld.
3. We veroordelen onszelf tot krapte
en jobgroei. Er zijn immers eurodoelstellingen op het vlak van
werkzaamheidsgraad. Op dit
moment hebben we een werkzaamheidsgraad van 71,9% - de
eurodoelstelling is 76%. Met de
gekende factoren is de projectie dat we zullen stranden op een
werkzaamheidsgraad van ongeveer 73%, en dit is slecht nieuws.
De 3% verschil tussen de projectie en de doelstelling staan voor

Toegepaste Economische Weten­
schappen KU Leuven, gaf een wakeup call anno 2014. Hij stelde de vraag
of er vandaag nog kan gesproken
worden van krapte op de arbeidsmarkt. Want de arbeidsmarkt ontspant: de laatste jaren is de vacaturegraad gedaald, wat wil zeggen dat
er minder openstaande vacatures
zijn. Er zijn (beduidend) minder
knelpuntvacatures. In 2011 was er
sprake van een piek, maar de laatste
jaren is het aantal knelpuntvacatures gedaald. Uiteraard heeft ook dit
OKT-NOV 2014
te maken met de algemene daling in
het aantal vacatures. Dat de arbeidsmarkt weer aantrekt, is een feit. Er is
geen sprake van een structurele crisis, maar wel van een conjuncturele
crisis, en die gaat voorbij. Maar nog
niet morgen. Er zijn geen tekenen
op beterschap op korte termijn. De
bevolking op arbeidsleeftijd zal wel
degelijk krimpen. Daarom moeten
we verder kijken. Hoe zal de situatie
evolueren op lange termijn? Volgens
Prof. Sels zijn er 4 factoren die de
druk op de arbeidsmarkt hoog zullen houden.
4. Tenslotte zien we dat onze arbeidsreserve groot is, maar de inzetbaarheid ervan is beperkt met
ons huidige rekruteringsgedrag.
Er zit immers weinig reserve bij
die groepen waarin we het meest
rekruteren, en veel reserve bij die
groepen waarin we het minst
rekruteren.
Op 13 november vindt een volgend
B2A-event plaats. Het thema is
‘The Power of Failure. The winning
effect of positive mistakes.’

MOBIELE COMMUNICATIE
“Mobiele communicatie is meer

Peter Van Eycken, Sales Director

“Neem dokters en verpleegkundigen in hospitalen, ze moeten
altijd en overal bereikbaar zijn. De
mobiele communicatie gebeurt er
nog vaak door middel van DECT,
maar ondertussen ook al door
‘Voice over WLAN’ (VoWLAN),
in combinatie met WLAN toestellen of smartphones. Ook productieverantwoordelijken en onderhoudstechnici in fabrieken (bvb.
chemische industrie) moeten steeds
bereikbaar zijn. Communicatie
over grote terreinen wordt nog
vaak ondersteund door DECT of
TETRA-oplossingen. Denk ook
aan internationale zakenmensen
die soms wekenlang kamperen op
luchthavens en in hotels, of aan de
zogenaamde ‘road warriors’, mensen die continu op de baan zijn zoals
verkopers en chauffeurs.”

zal mobiele communicatie een bijkomende impuls geven.
De komst van ‘unified communication’ (UC) waaronder mobiele

‘THOUGHT LEADERSHIP’
OFFERS VARIOUS CAPABILITIES
QUALITY
RESEARCH
Thought leadership concerns companies seeking to become authorities in specific areas of knowledge,
and to make that knowledge available to different stakeholders. But why should I, as a company,
want anything to do with thought leadership? And how do you build it up? A word of explanation.
ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT
Renaat Van
Cauwenberge
is founder and
Managing Director
of Total Gramma
and has over 20
years’ experience
in identity
development,
positioning and
corporate branding.
Thought leader companies are in a
position to go beyond the conventional patterns of thought in the
market and thus offer their customers innovating insights. Thought
leadership is not something that
an organization claims, but rather
what it earns as the result of the confidence that it creates in the implementation of the pioneering body of
thought. To describe thought leadership better it is important to distinguish between two related concepts: innovation and vision.
Innovation is the process in which
an idea is transformed into a product or service for which people are
willing to pay. An innovation may
go beyond the status quo in product
use, but does not necessarily bring
about new ways of thinking. Apple’s
products are innovative, but Steve
Jobs broke the conventions about
how we look at computer technology. An innovation may embody a
thought leadership theme, but that
alone does not make the company a
thought leader.
Thought leadership is also about
having a vision. A vision indicates
what an organization is aspiring to
for the future. That vision may be
inspiring, ambitious, but does not
have to overturn any conventional
WWW.CXONET.BE
ways of thinking. Thought leaders
do, however. Thought leaders come
with a vision or a way of looking at
things that shatters existing conventions. It is precisely thanks to this
convention-breaking that stakeholders feel drawn to a thought
leader.
WHY THOUGHT LEADERSHIP?
“Thought leadership is a new platform for differentiation in a world
in which the consumer is concerned
with more than just product, service, identity or corporate social
responsibility. These aspects of differentiation are increasingly becoming ‘hygiene factors’ – an organization has to have them, but they
no longer offer any distinguishing factor. Customers increasingly
need innovating perspectives and
approaches in the themes or issues
that they find important. These
needs affect society at different levels.
For instance, a local authority is
looking for new ways to keep its
densely populated city viable. But
it may also be the case among consumers wanting to identify themselves with brands challenging the
status quo on relevant trans-product themes. Thought leadership is a
way of proactively anticipating these
changed needs,” say van Halderen
and Kettler-Paddock
CONSTRUCTION OF
THOUGHT LEADERSHIP
Working towards thought leadership is a strategic choice. It is a positioning strategy that must tally with
the expertise of the whole company.
The following steps give a good
guideline.
Step 1:
assessing the potential
When considering a thought leadership strategy it is important to
assess whether the company has
the potential for a thought leadership theme in-house. You will need
to consider four questions:
a) What themes are currently of
interest to our customers? b) Do
we have a relevant innovating
angle of attack on these themes? c)
Does this fit in with our knowledge
and expertise? d) Do we have the
resources and the strength to embed
this new approach in our strategy?
Step 2:
formation of
the innovating approach
“Dove did this really well”, so we are
told in the article by van Halderen
and Kettler-Paddock, with the
research in ten different countries
on women’s perceptions of their
outer appearance. The research
revealed that only 2 per cent of
women thought themselves beau-

tiful – the remaining 98 per cent
expressed reservations. Then 68
per cent also took issue with the
unrealistic standards imposed by
the media as regards beauty. A viral
video showed how it was possible to
transform an ‘average’ woman into
a fashion model using make-up and
some technical sleight of hand. The
video resonated with the feelings of
many women and challenged the
rather narrow definition of beauty
(the film ended with ‘No wonder
our perception of beauty is distorted’). This viral video was, of
course, in the first place a smart
branding campaign, but its success was so astonishing that Dove
adopted the theme. Despite criticism about the initiative being hypocritical (for example, Dove is still
selling creams that are supposed
to treat cellulitis), Dove created a
new platform for differentiation
and the company is now regarded
among its relevant target groups as
a brand that has rid itself of a distorted stereotype image of the ‘ideal
of beauty’.
OKT-NOV 2014
Step 3:
open sharing of
knowledge and expertise
A company earns thought leadership on the basis of the confidence
that it has built up as an expert on
an innovating theme. One important way in which a company builds
confidence is through the open
sharing of knowledge and expertise with (potential) customers and
other stakeholders. The more that
information shapes the insights
that its stakeholders need, the more
it proves that it understands their
world and their issues, and that it is
an expert in the field.
Step 4: initiating network
platforms around the theme
The main way to construct thought
leadership is to create a network
platform on the thought leadership
theme and to play a central role in
it yourself. By acting as a facilitator in such a network, the company
creates a central position in the network. That means that not only does
it have access to an extended pool
of knowledge and expertise, it can
also build up meaningful relationships which, again, can offer access
to potential business relationships.
Step 5:
linking action to result
To build up confidence as an expert
on the innovating theme, organizations must work constantly on communications initiatives.
Thought leadership is a form of differentiation in a world in which the
need for innovating perception is
increasing all the time. Companies
that go about thought leadership
half-heartedly or insufficiently
are wasting their time, money and
other resources. But those that are
ready to adopt thought leadership
wholeheartedly are keeping pace
with evolving market needs and
setting themselves apart from the
competition.

THEMATIC ARTICLE : THE INTERNET OF THINGS
Frans Godden
In a recent study called “Harnessing Data in the
Internet of Things”, Ovum Consulting predicted that
the number of Internet connected devices will explode
over the next few years. By 2020 the analysts estimate
that well over 20 billion devices ranging from complex
interactive systems to tiny sensors will be collecting and
transmitting data over the Internet. Of course, it is not
really a new phenomenon, companies have been using
sensors and embedded technologies for years in what
is collectively known as M2M or machine-to-machine
technology - the tracking of packages by transportation companies is a common example. However, it is
the upcoming sheer volume of intelligent devices that
creates a whole new playing field.
There are several reasons for this sudden increase. The
cost of sensors has come down dramatically while at
the same time we have seen huge advances in wired
and wireless communication technology enabling better and faster connections to the Internet. An increasing number of objects in our physical world – personal
items like smartphones, household appliances, cars,
factory equipment, utility networks - are now able to
communicate with each other through embedded sensors, tags, and actuators – without any human involvement. The result: vast amounts of data, all available to
be analysed for a wide range of purposes.
As a cloud-based infrastructure is by its very nature
quite scalable and flexible, it is obvious that a lot of IoT
data will be stored and processed in the cloud. “But
cloud environments represent many challenges for
companies that are not familiar with this type of stor-
WWW.CXONET.BE
Similarly, in a recent report, Tata Consultancy Services
clearly highlighted that the Internet of Things will enable organisations in every industry to offer new services or otherwise change their business models. And it
lists a host of industries with such new business models
resulting from what it calls the use of “cyber-physical”
systems, from utilities and manufacturing over healthcare and transportation to consumer goods and retail.
And it concludes that just as the Internet has transformed businesses and lifestyles in the last twenty years,
the Internet of Things is likely to disrupt any organisation’s relationship with its stakeholders. So beware...
NO ESCAPING
One thing’s for certain: no sector of industry will be
able to ignore the potential benefits that organisations
can draw from the Internet of Things. Right now, manufacturing, utilities organisations and logistics seem
to be benefiting most from IoT, but very soon every
industry vertical will be impacted. “Mind you, it’s not
the technology itself that will create the added value,
it is the way in which the executives take advantage
of the new opportunities for their specific environment that will determine whether they are successful
in implementing the results of IoT”, says dr. Steven De
Haes, professor Information Systems Management at
the University of Antwerp and the IT Alignment and
Governance Research Institute (ITAG). “It is important
that the organisation has a solid innovation process in
place that involves both IT and the business to assess
the true impact of the Internet of Things”.
NOT JUST “MORE” BIG DATA
Up until now, “big data” usually referred to human-generated data, but with the sudden rise of this new type of
network, the volumes generated by all those connected
devices will far outstrip traditional big data. And while
this opens up a host of new opportunities for mining
that mountain of data, it also creates several new challenges. For one, there’s the management problem: all
those devices must be managed from a central point,
completely automated and remotely, and they must be
able to talk to each other irrespective of the manufacturer or the type of sensor used. However, as you will
get streams of data from different sources, integration
may be the next hurdle to take, and that can represent
a huge challenge for enterprise data management and
analysis. The traditional centralised database will not
be able to handle the large volumes of raw data generated by the Internet of Things – very often unstructured data also.

age – traditional security methods will fall short”, says
IBM security consultant Erno Doorenspleet. “What
they need is intelligent solutions based on analytics to
spot proactively the correlations between the countless
activities within a company’s different ICT infrastructures. That way, the IT department can focus on the
core risk-bearing activities without loosing sight of the
zillions of other things in the cloud”.
“Mind you, it’s not the technology itself that
will create the added value, it is the way
in which the executives take advantage
of the new opportunities for their specific
environment that will determine whether
they are successful in implementing the
results of IoT” (dr. Steven De Haes, member
of the CxO Expert Group and professor
Information Systems Management at
the University of Antwerp and the IT
Alignment and Governance Research
Institute (ITAG).
As if to support Steven De Haes’ theory, the
McKinsey Global Institute last year stated in a
report that the Internet of Things is one of the most
disruptive technology trends of this decade, with
far-reaching implications for both businesses and

policymakers. In the report the analysts estimate
the potential economic impact of the IoT to be
somewhere between 2,7 and 6.2 trillion US dollars
per year by 2025. The reason: enhanced operational
efficiencies and subsequent new revenue-generating
products and services. However, that vision will
only come true if companies are able to marry data
from the Internet of Things with other sources of
data. Because the real promise of the IoT lies in the
ability to combine machine-generated data with
data created by humans, resulting in a deeper insight
and real-time decision making. But that means that
current data management and analytic architectures
will have to be modified to enable data capture from
intelligent network devices and integrate the data
from the various sources into one big data pool,
rather than creating discrete “data islands”.

DERDE KEER GOEDE KEER VOOR SURFACE PRO
De Surface Pro 3 van Microsoft is eigenlijk pas de eerste versie waarvan je kan zeggen dat het een volwassen product is dat
ook echt doet wat het belooft, al is het nog verre van perfect. De Surface Pro wil een combinatie zijn van een volwaardige
tablet en een laptop. Als tablet is het product zeker geslaagd: het is voor wat het aan rekenkracht in huis heeft en voor
het relatief grote scherm nog erg draagbaar en ligt goed in de hand. Zeker met de bijhorende Bluetooth-pen kan je er
ook best productief mee zijn. Hoewel er verschillende configuraties zijn, kunnen we zeggen dat de hardware op zich wat
prestaties betreft zeker een degelijke ultrabook of zelfs gewone laptop evenaart. De meeste mensen zullen hier vlot alle
dagelijkse computertaken mee kunnen vervullen.Alleen het toetsenbord is nog geen concurrent van dat van een normale
laptop. Dankzij een traploos instelbare klep achteraan kan je het scherm nu wel in de perfecte stand zetten, waardoor je
het toestel ook relatief goed op je schoot kan gebruiken. Zelfs het toetsenbord kan je met een klepje in twee standen zetten, wat op zich best handig is. Helaas is het toetsenbord op zich niet echt goed, of biedt het toch niet het gebruiksgemak
van dat van een echte laptop. Bovendien moet je er nog 130 euro voor betalen, en zonder heeft de Surface Pro niet veel
zin. Om hem echt op je bureau te gebruiken, koop je bovendien best het basisstation dat ook nog eens 200 euro kost.
Samen met de minimum 800 (tot 1950) euro voor het toestel op zich doet dat de prijs wel erg oplopen. Als krachtige
tablet is derde keer dus wel goede keer, maar als geheel is er toch nog wat werk aan het concept, en zeker aan de prijs.

PLANTRONICS VERWENT DE OREN
Plantronics is vooral bekend van Bluetooth oortjes en headsets voor professioneel gebruik, maar brengt meer en
meer consumentenproducten op de markt. Het laatste product in dit gamma is de BackBeat Pro. Deze fors uitgevallen hoofdtelefoon zit vol snufjes. Hij kan tegelijk via Bluetooth of NFC koppelen met verschillende toestellen, zodat je
bijvoorbeeld naar muziek op een tablet kan luisteren en een gesprek aannemen dat op een smartphone binnenkomt.
Als pure koptelefoon is dit misschien niet het model dat echte audiofielen in vervoering zal brengen, maar de kwaliteit
is zeker meer dan behoorlijk. Bovendien heeft hij een knop waarmee je Active Noise Cancelling op zet, zodat omgevingsgeluiden nagenoeg weggefilterd worden. Wil je omgekeerd net wel horen wat er om je heen gebeurt, dan kan je de
OpenMic-functie aanzetten. De muziek dimt dan, en je kan ook makkelijker een gesprek voeren. Daarnaast zijn er nog
wel enkele slimme functies. Zo stopt de muziek automatisch als je de koptelefoon afzet, en kan je met draaiknoppen
het volume traploos aanpassen of naar een vorig of volgend nummer springen.Gesprekken aannemen gaat makkelijk
door op de rechterschelp te klikken. Deze klinken op zich heel helder, al vinden we dat een koptelefoon over de oren
niet zo aangenaam om gesprekken te voeren – zelfs met de OpenMic-functie aan. Het design van de BackBeat Pro is
ten slotte echt top: een combinatie van matte en zacht lederen materialen oogt mooi en zit prettig. Voor 250 euro krijg
je echt wel veel kwaliteit.

PACKAGING:
WHAT DO SHIPPERS
DO ABOUT IT?
The importance of transport packaging is often
underestimated but there is no denying that it has an
important function. It protects goods during transport and
also allows the carrier to move and set up the goods safely.
This latter is all too often underestimated. OTM (Organisatie
van Traffic Managers) gives more explanation about various
aspects of transport packaging.

CROSSOVER: LAPTOPRUGZAK VAN TOPKWALITEIT
Ook Thule is een merk dat je waarschijnlijk vooral van dakkoffers en fietsenrekken kent, maar ondertussen zijn productengamma al flink heeft uitgebreid. De nieuwste Crossover is bijvoorbeeld een van de betere laptoprugzakken op
de markt. In het 25 liter model past makkelijk een 15 inch laptop, maar er is ook een beschermende hoes voor een
tablet, bovenaan een extra goed gepolsterd zakje voor een bril of andere breekbare zaken, enzovoort. Vooraan zijn er
nog twee iets kleinere compartimenten, waar in een ook nog kleinere onderverdelingen zijn. Je zou bijna zelfs kunnen
zeggen dat er wat te veel zakken en onderverdelingen zijn, want soms is het even zoeken om te weten in welke zakje je
het precies hebt opgeborgen. De rugzak is van duurzaam materiaal gemaakt dat ook waterafstotend is. Het rugpand
is vrij goed gepolsterd en de schouderriemen hebben ventilatiegaten. Alleen deze hadden iets meer gepolsterd mogen
zijn want als de rugzak echt vol zit, zijn ze wat hard. Bijna 100 euro voor een laptoprugzak is natuurlijk niet goedkoop,
maar dit is wel een model waar je lang mee kan doen, en dat je eigenlijk ook in je vrije tijd kan gebruiken.

TRANSPORT MANAGEMENT
E-BUSINESS
The recent strong growth in e-business sometimes plays tricks on packagings. Some big e-commerce stores
have no compunction in using the
consumer packaging as transport
packaging. Manufacturers make
allowance for this to some extent,
but the product often undergoes
extra shocks by being shipped
in free-standing packaging. For
smaller goods specific consignment boxes are used in which products are collected and held in place
with ‘airpads’ of ‘paperpads’. In this
new world the concept of transport
packaging receives another meaning and, with the rise of e-business,
the manufacturers will over time
have to provide more and more
primary and secondary packaging
in order to satisfy recent forms of
distribution.

too often underestimated.
islation on loading safety but also
by an inclination towards corporate social responsibility whereby
minimum impact on the environment and care for the product are
central.
THE FUNCTION OF GOODS
Transport packaging is always the
last link in the packaging process.
Depending on the product other
steps come before it. The basic
packaging of a product is called
primary packaging. This packs the
product and often has considerable
market importance. It is often said
that good packaging sells. These
immediate or primary packagings are often put up in batches of
X units in an outer packaging, the
secondary packaging. This packaging bundles products and is often
the measure of the sales unit. These
secondary packagings may also be
contained in a transport or consignment packaging, often called
tertiary packaging.
If we take a close look at transport
packaging we have to make a distinction between different kinds of
goods. The function of goods and
their value has a significant effect
on transport packaging. Semifinished goods in bulk are given a
packaging different from durable
goods, which are packaged individually. The value of the product also
often determines the value of the
packaging. There is trend towards
greater attention to correct specifications of the transport packaging whereby safe transport without
loss or damage is accorded priority
over the cost price of the packaging. This trend seems to have been
WWW.CXONET.BE
BUSINESS MAGA ZINE ON INNOVATION, LE ADERSHIP, STR ATEGY AND VISION
LAST LINK
Attention to transport packaging
can yield a fair amount of money.
Companies do not quite realize
how much. The transport packaging is often left out of the design of
the product. This looks like utopia,
but can make a world of difference.
Or how a company came just 2 cm
short of being able to stack goods
two-high in a truck. If product
design had taken this into account
twice as many goods could have
been placed in the trucks; count
your profit. In the development of
transport packaging it is therefore
best to take account of the dimensions of available means of transport.
Stackability (so-called collo modularity) is also important. Various
sorts of goods can be shipped in
combination volume-efficiently if
they fit in a collo modular way. Most
logisticians of course know that
the volume of two half europallets
will fit on one europallet, but the
OKT-NOV 2014
dimensions of the different products can also be adjusted to fit each
other. This sometimes requires, for
example for seaborne cargo, consideration of pros and cons of optimization for loose stacking in a sea
container versus pallet stacking.
PACKAGING IS MARKETING
Transport packaging is also increasingly important in marketing.
Companies can use it to strengthen
their ‘corporate identity’ and, since
the transport packaging is the first
packaging that the user sees, it helps
to convey a uniform image. Big concerns that often change their product sites have an interest in making
packaging as homogeneous as possible so as not to induce any shock
reactions with goods that suddenly
appear from another part of the
world.
There are specific rules for dangerous goods. Here the transport
packaging acts as a buffer and,
thanks to materials tests and specific regulations on the packaging,
offers protection in case of accident
(packaging is tested for capacity to
withstand possible incidents). There
are also instructions for emergency
services (correct chemical class
and contents). Regulations for air
freight (regulated by IATA) are in
that respect stricter than regulations for transport via road, rail or
sea. A good example is the battery.
Increasing use of batteries and the
concomitant increase in volume of
their shipments entails a tangle of
problems whereby not only the individual packaging in itself but also
all the packagings taken together
become important for each flight
or run.
The function of goods and their value has a significant effect on transport packaging.
stowed in the hold of a ship there is
now a trend to pack them and ship
them in containers. For heavy goods
this requires particular attention.
And even if the transport packaging here happens to be no more than
a ‘skid’ or strong base, transport in

the post-shipment phases requires

Als gevolg van de
ontwikkeling en productie van de nieuwe
lichtbronnen is de
verlichtingssector
volop in beweging.
Verlichting omvat
echter nog veel andere aspecten zoals
visueel comfort,

Bovenal moet de

“Verlichting in een kantooromgeving is verantwoordelijk voor 30
tot 40% van het totale elektriciteitsverbruik,” zegt Mieke Loncke,
Directeur IFMA en lid van de CxO
Expert Group. “ Energiebesparing
kan niet enkel gerealiseerd worden door het verhogen van de efficiëntie, m.n. door het plaatsen van
betere verlichtingsapparatuur, maar
er kan ook bespaard worden door
de bestaande apparatuur efficiënter
te gaan gebruiken. De eenvoudige
remedie ‘Doe het licht uit wanneer
het niet nodig is’, klinkt eenvoudig
maar is in de praktijk niet altijd zo
eenvoudig door te voeren. Echter,
met daglichtsturing – een automatisch systeem dat het verlichtingsniveau aan de hoeveelheid invallend
daglicht aanpast – aanwezigheidsdetectie waarbij de verlichting enkel
brandt wanneer een lokaal bezet is –
en de nodige motivatie bij de medewerkers, kom je al een heel eind.”

“Een van de grotere projecten hierin
was het vervangen van 1.200 stuks
noodverlichtingen in diverse gebouwen op de site van het bedrijf. Naast
de totale investerings- en onderhoudskost was er een bijkomende
uitdaging naar energiebesparing
toe, met name het feit dat het grootste gedeelte van deze noodverlichtingen (ongeveer 1000 stuks) ook
dienst deden als veiligheidsverlichting en dus 24 uur op 24 en 7 dagen
op 7 moest branden.
Toch is de operatie geslaagd. Naast
het verminderen van de afvalberg
met gemiddeld 750 stuks TL lampen
per jaar is het verbruik verminderd
met 17.500 Kwh/jaar; equivalent
van 12,2 ton Co2 per jaar.”

De terugverdientijd over de jaren
heen bedraagt in dit specifiek project 3,8 jaar. Philip Martin is ervan
overtuigd dat de wereld van de verlichting in volle evolutie is mede
dankzij allerhande nieuwe toepassingen en mogelijkheden en
ontwikkeling van LED, aanwezigheidsdetectie, performantere
voorschakelapparatuur en lampen....
TIP VOOR ONZE LEZERS
Er is een nieuwe publicatie van het
Vlaamse Gewest: energiezuinige
verlichting voor KMO. We kunnen aanzienlijk besparen door over
te stappen naar energiezuinige en
misschien ook slimme verlichting.
Het Vlaams Energie Agentschap
publiceerde hierover recent een
nieuwe publicatie. Doelgroep is de
KMO. De brochure helpt KMO’s
om de knelpunten in de bestaande
verlichtingsinstallatie op te sporen
en maakt hen wegwijs in de uitvoering van een relighting. De brochure
kan gratis gedownload worden of
besteld worden in de gedrukte versie via deze website van de Vlaamse
Overheid.
Ook via de knop ‘Publicaties’ op
de website www.energiesparen.be
kom je bij deze nieuwe brochure. De
inhoudelijke samenstelling lag in
handen van het Laboratorium voor
Lichttechnologie van de KU Leuven,
Technologiecampus Gent. Ook het
project Groen Licht Vlaanderen
werd hierbij betrokken.
“In oudere gebouwen zijn er heel
wat mogelijkheden naar energiebesparing op verlichting, en zoals het
er nu naar uitziet staan er heel wat
uitdagingen en opportuniteiten te
wachten. Men moet wel bereid zijn
om er de nodige budgetten voor vrij
te maken.
De goedkoopste en meest duurzame
vorm van energiebesparing is nog
steeds dewelke die men niet verbruikt of hoeft op te wekken.”

HAPPY PROFIT: GA VOOR WINST EN WEES ER TROTS OP
Auteur Herman Toch wil met zijn boek ‘Happy Profit’ de negatieve spanning rond winst en groei wegnemen
en ziet de uitdagingen van de wereld als een enorme opportuniteit voor succesvolle merken en bedrijven.
Als CEO’s en marketeers erin slagen om anders te leren kijken naar de wereld om ons heen, dan dienen er
zich mooie groeimogelijkheden aan om winst ook duurzaam te maken. Happy Profit ziet de uitdagingen
van de wereld zoals mobiliteit, gezondheid, eenzaamheid, vergrijzing en milieu als opportuniteiten voor
succesvolle bedrijven en merken. Happy Profit ziet de evolutie in de richting van een gedecentraliseerde,
bottom-up maatschappij als momentum voor een nieuw soort leiderschap dat een ander soort bedrijven en
organisaties bouwt en zodoende een lans breekt voor die CEO’s en marketeers die van die issues opportuniteiten willen maken en die dromen van een positieve impact op de wereld. In dit verhaal is ‘societal value’
en ‘business value’ even belangrijk en versterken ze elkaar. Winst is een beloning en geen doel. Herman
Toch biedt een Happy Profit kompas aan dat bestaat uit vier woorden: Dromen, Impact, Trots en Relaties.
Bedrijven moeten dromen hebben en dromen van een betere wereld voor onze kinderen. Dromen zonder
realisatie zijn fantasie, aldus de auteur. Ze waarmaken dus, of zorgen voor impact op de wereld waarin we
actief zijn. Trots helpt dan weer om in flow te komen. Trots vertrekt vanuit een sterke innerlijke motivatie
en helpt om onze ‘purpose of life’ te vinden en te realiseren. Tot slot zijn er de relaties. ‘Ik wil denken in
termen van synergieën en niet in termen van trade-offs. En samenwerken is het nieuwe concurrentieveld;
samenwerken met alle stakeholders wordt voor de meeste bedrijven de groeimotor van de komende jaren.

Bedrijfsleiders en fleet managers hebben er alle belang bij de kosten en baten van hun
bedrijfswagens van dichterbij te volgen en te controleren. Kwestie van een goed zicht te
bewaren op de kosten. Vandaag vormen track & trace-systemen een onmisbaar hulpmiddel
dat ervoor zorgt dat de baas van het bedrijf, en van de vloot, op elk moment weet waar zijn
voertuigen zich bevinden, wie de chauffeur is en hoe die met het voertuig en de eventuele
lading omspringt.

DE WET VAN SNUF
In het kielzog van de transformatie naar een nieuwe (bedrijfs)wereld ontstaan, volgens de auteur, allerlei
nieuwe businessmodellen. Deze modellen zijn gegroeid uit nieuwe economische stromingen (circulaire
economie, deeleconomie, peer-to-peer economy, makerseconomie en personalised economy) en ze vormen
daarmee ook vaak een combinatie. De auteur geeft in het boek nog een dertiental nieuwe businessmodellen.
Een aantal bedrijven is dus elektronisch gestuurde volgsystemen
gaan ontwerpen en vervaardigen
zonder zich daarom te verdiepen in
het plaatsen, testen en opvolgen van
die systemen. En dat is nu net waar
Fleet Support zich in heeft gespecialiseerd. Als “on-field” adviseur
en installateur is het bedrijf uitgegroeid tot een onmisbare schakel
tussen fabrikant en vlootverantwoordelijke, van ontwikkelings- tot
onderhoudsfase.
Een bedrijf moet een ‘veilige’ innovatieruimte creëren om te zoeken, te experimenteren, te proberen en fouten te maken, aldus Herman Toch.Wie innoverend ondernemerschap en inspirerend leiderschap nastreeft
kan aan dit boek niet ontsnappen. Uitgangspunt van dit boek is de Wet van Snuf: wat je geeft, krijg je terug,
ook wel het principe van de wederkerigheid genoemd. Wie meer geeft dan neemt, zal op termijn succesvoller
zijn, zowel zakelijk als privé. Geven is een van de krachtigste instrumenten om je omgeving op een positieve
manier te beïnvloeden. Wie dus vaker iets gegund wil krijgen of op zoek is naar betere relaties, zal zich de
kunst van het geven eigen moeten maken.
DRIE DELEN
De Wet van Snuf bestaat uit drie delen: Deel 1. Waarom geven? Hier wordt uitgelegd waarom je terugkrijgt
wat je geeft. Dat principe van wederkerigheid is overal om ons heen zichtbaar. Wat doet het met mensen,
hoe werkt het en wat kan het jou zoal opleveren? Deel 2. Wat te geven? Dit deel beschrijft 26 doeltreffende

manieren van geven, gerangschikt van a tot z. We kunnen allemaal op diverse manieren geven en soms zijn
het de kleine dingen die het verschil maken. Deel 3. Hoe te geven? In dit deel komt aan de orde waar je moet
op letten als je besluit om vaker te gaan geven. Hoe kun je de impact van wat je geeft vergroten, en welk gevaar
schuilt er in geven? Er is bovendien moed nodig om beter te worden in de kunst van het geven. De Wet van
Snuf is geen wetenschappelijk boek, maar de inhoud is wel gebaseerd op wetenschappelijke inzichten en
onderzoeken. De luchtige schrijfstijl, gelardeerd met een dosis humor en de aansprekende verhalen waarin
we onszelf herkennen maken van dit boek een prettig en gemakkelijk leesbaar geheel.

Met meer dan 200 technici in 13 landen is Fleet support een van de best
geplaatste partners voor de inplanting van elektronica en telemetrie
in alle mogelijke Europese vloten.
Door de professionele integratie
van hoogtechnologische hulpmiddelen verhoogt immers niet alleen
het comfort maar vooral de veiligheid en productiviteit van bestuurders van zowel personen- als vrachtwagens. In België is het Technical
Fleet Support Center gevestigd op
de A12/Boomsesesteenweg 945 in
Wilrijk (www.fleetsupport.eu).
OKT-NOV 2014
Dat Fleet Support stevig doorgroeit
blijkt uit het feit dat het management besloot om een bedrijfswagen toe te kennen aan een
aantal medewerkers. Deels om
fiscale redenen, deels uit motivatie-overwegingen. Toen Olivier
Vanhoucke, Director en-COO, op
zoek ging naar de meest geschikte
auto’s voor zijn vloot kwam hij al
gauw uit bij Kia. Het voorstel dat
de verantwoordelijke voor fleet bij
KIA geformuleerd had, sloeg meteen aan. Niet alleen qua prijs maar
evenzeer omwille van het aangename contact bij de bespreking
van het contract. Uiteindelijk koos
Vanhoucke resoluut voor Kia en
voor de Sportage. Van het eerste lot
van 10 Sportages waren er 1.7 CRDimodellen met manuele versnellingsbak (85kW/115pk) en één automatische 2.0 CRDi 136 (100kW/136pk).
Deze laatste is bestemd voor de verkoper met de langste verplaatsingen.
Project Leader Antonio Gomez, een
van de andere gelukkigen, heeft er al
ruim 30000 tevreden km op zitten.
Hij valt voor het design, het comfort
en de afwerking aan boord. Ook de
hoge zit, de korte draai en de multimedia-uitrusting vallen in zijn gratie. Dat hij een ecodriver is bewijst

niet boven 6 liter/100km wil.

One can wonder whether landing in the hands of Fiat Chrysler will finally be a blessing for Maserati. Since then,
the Italian brand has announced that it wants to sell up to 50.000 cars each year as of 2015 and 75.000 by 2018.
To make that happen, it intends leaning on a bunch of new models. It already redesigned its Quattroporte model
and last year it launched its Ghibli, erroneously baptized “baby Quattroporte”. The next one might be an SUV
built on the same platform.

MASERATI GHIBLI
Maserati Ghibli, basically a short-wheelbase Quattroporte
With its distinctive styling, its sporty handling and “O sole mio”
look and feel, Maserati is convinced that it can make the difference in a segment which is already highly in demand. The
Ghibli is basically a short-wheelbase Quattroporte indeed and
it is Maserati’s intention with this model to lower the access to
a prestigious brand such as Maserati to a wider public. Already
the price difference between a Quattroporte 3.0 V6 Biturbo
(€ 110.473) and a Ghibli 3.0 V6 S (€ 82.038) clearly illustrates the
company’s new marketing approach.
Developed and designed in Europe, allowing Honda’s
European R&D team to lead the creative and technical
design process, the new Civic Tourer was launched
in Europe in early 2014. It is built at Honda’s U.K.
manufacturing facility in Swindon. The Tourer’s cargo
area accommodates two full-size mountain bikes or
three large-sized Samsonite cases with the luggage
cover pulled over.

MAGIC SEATS
Honda’s unique Magic Seats deliver further practicality and space
within the Civic Tourer, enabling a range of seating configurations for maximum versatility. The rear seats assembly folds
down in one easy movement, and the interior trunk floor of the
Civic Tourer has been raised compared to the 5-door to create
a completely flat area when the seats are folded down. The rear
seat cushions can also be flipped up to reveal ample floor space
for carrying tall objects. A 60/40 split in the seat base offers even

Veranderingen worden nog te vaak van bovenuit opgelegd aan de rest van
de organisatie. Hierbij wordt teruggegrepen naar vertrouwde methodes,
die vaak onvoldoende effectief zijn. Daardoor komen veranderingen en
innovaties moeilijk van de grond.
Veranderbereidheid is er wel, maar de de manier waarop neemt de
aanwezige gedrevenheid in de organisatie weg. De uitdaging voor menig
CXO is dan ook om het geheel slagvaardiger te maken en alle medewerkers
betrokken en enthousiast te krijgen en te houden.
ViCre is de uitgelezen partner indien u de betrokkenheid van uw medewerkers
in uw organisatie wil verhogen. Onze unieke aanpak resulteert in een
heldere visie, doorgedreven focus, betere samenwerking en grotere
waardecreatie. En uiteindelijk in een perfect geolied geheel waar innovatie
ingebed is in de bedrijfscultuur.
Benieuwd of ViCre iets kan betekenen voor u en uw bedrijf? Wij willen alleszins
