Testimonials
We called Joyce at the moment we were looking for a trainer to set up our first innovation training program for trainees. She listened carefully to understand our goals and our context, she challenged our initial ideas and developped a tailor made proposal that addressed much more than what we had in mind: more than learning tools and techniques, we have a program that involves our whole organization to ensure what trainees learn is not 'lost' at the end of the program but becomes' built-in 'our ways of working, a program where trainees develop the '21 century capabilities' and become entrepreneurs within a self-managing team, a program that supports our culture change program Go Blue to develop Infrabel towards an agile, attractive and innovative organization. She was also a perfect coach for me as I am setting up and managing this project within Infrabel ICT. I would definitely recommend to contact Joyce for your innovation related change project.
In two consecutive years, Joyce made her formidable contribution to the “Cosun Innovation Day” by providing a number of very educational and fascinating workshops. These customer-specifically tailored workshops have contributed to a great extent to offer new insights in the field of properly and quickly mapping the customer's wishes: Customer Journey mapping, Playing Lean and Value Proposition Canvas. One by one very inspiring, relevant and fun workshops!
We have deployed “A Day in the Life of a Startup” in honor of our 50th anniversary with a select group of colleagues and clients. The setup, variety, tension and time pressure of this serious game ensured that you got sucked into it. As a result, we have been able to strengthen the personal bond with clients and we have learned that too many developments in business services are still based on assumptions. We will deal with this differently from now on.
The Pimcy approach is distinctive because theory is immediately translated to one's own situation. We still use a number of the tools provided to ensure that we always reason from the customer in our innovation processes.
Joyce did a good job last year with the initial set-up of portfolio management for Rabobank innovations. She is very knowledgeable, hands on and a lot of fun to work with.
This was a really nice training #designthinking. Currant from the porridge and also directly applicable at healthcare institutions. And also customer of the quarter Pimcy BV | Innovation & Portfolio Management Thanks Joyce Omen.
