About Me

Hi, I’m Ortwin. I combine 20+ years of technical, managerial and process working experience.
Helping people and organizations to work in a better, sooner, safer, happier way is one of my favorite challenges. I take joy in technology but helping to deliver business value is the most important goal. Every context is unique because people and organizations are unique. I’m not afraid of change, never too old to learn and I’m continuously trying to learn and improve, preferably together as a team, following a non-prescriptive but adaptive approach.
Delivering quality and satisfying the people I’m servicing are primary drivers.
If you can't describe what you do as a process, you don't know what you're doing.

I'm an enthusiastic Influencer Member of the Value Stream Management Consortium. I'm passionate about flow and way of working, and as a consequence I was one of the first people worldwide to get the VSM Foundation Certification. Not because certifications matter more than common sense and experience, but because I strongly believe that although a value stream-centric approach is not the only ingredient of a potential transformation/evolution success, very often it's the ingredient that is missing the most.
