He tends to be very direct and open in my communications, whilst keeping the way of communication very simple and understandable, resulting in vivid conversations with my customers. The customer and Maurice work to a common goal: identify the process (es) to improve, design the new process (es) and build and deliver on that improvement; these conversations are based on mutual respect.
The focus on these processes can be as part of the implementation of a new software solution, an upgrade of a software solution or as part of a process [re] design to improve the way working.
Maurice has very energetic appearance, and a strong ‘can do’ attitude. |
