Our mission, vision, ambition and values
5 Principles of Rijnland
Rijnland: our five principles:
- Rijnland is convinced that a transformation can only be successful when supported by all stakeholders. Realising change is a joint responsibility.
- Rijnland is keenly sensitive to creating transformations that fit within the DNA, the culture of the company. Do things differently but be yourself.
- Rijnland firmly believes that a company should focus on and improve what it is good at. Whatever is good, deserves respect and ought to be cherished.
- We are firm believers in tackling the real issues on the work floor. We’d rather roll up our sleeves and get our hands dirty than have our heads in the clouds.
- We stand for responsibility, accountability and long term commitment. We don’t just shout instructions from the side-lines, we join your team.
Rijnland’s model
Rijnland analyses each organization using this systematic method
Based on this analysis a plan with clear objectives is prepared. Upon approval, Rijnland takes operational responsibility for executing the plan in cooperation with management and staff, securing a sustainable transformation.
The real benefit of this model is that both hard and soft criteria are taken into account. With this approach the ‘real’ issues are identified, resulting in unlocking improvements and value.
