Dr. Rene M. Jansen’s Summary

Dr. René M. Jansen is een gepassioneerd verteller over de ontwikkelingen op het gebied van social networking, kennisdeling en enterprise 2.0. Vanuit een combinatie van zijn praktijkervaring als directeur van Winkwaves, conceptbureau voor social networking en kennisdeling in de zakelijke omgeving, en zijn wetenschappelijke ervaring als Primavera research fellow bij de Universiteit van Amsterdam en visiting professor bij de Universiteit Malaya in Kuala Lumpur, predikt hij vol overgave over nieuwe manieren van werken, organiseren en klanten bedienen, waarin de mens als mens centraal wordt geplaatst. Als spreker heeft hij de ambitie inspirerende gesprekken op gang te brengen, zodat iedereen aan het eind van de dag frisse ideeën en haalbare plannen mee naar huis neemt.

What I did before:
René studied "applied computer science" at the University of Amsterdam, focusing on the business impacts and marketing aspects of computer systems (1987-1992). After his study he worked for several innovative players in the web area as a (management) consultant on the subject of interactive communication, marketing, e-learning and later web strategy.

In 1999 René joined Bit-IC, a specialized e-business practice of Capgemini where he is working as lead consultant on the definition and roll out of the extranet and internet strategy of well known (international) companies.

Because René is always eager to combine practical solutions with smart thinking, he works as a research fellow one day a week at the University of Amsterdam. After 10 years of professional experience he decided to write a PhD thesis "E-formulas - strategy - design - success" on e-strategy, which he defended for a prominent international committee (i.e. prof. Peter Keen, prof. Joseph Pine) June 6th, 2002.

Gepassioneerde verteller, gesprekspartner en onderzoeker

Winkwaves

(Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Information Technology and Services industry)

May 2005 — Present (4 years 3 months)

Rene founded Winkwaves to make this world a better place, specially for knowledge workers. Inspired by his research at the University of Amsterdam, and mazzled by the Maatschap, he learned that people are crucial to the success of knowledge intensive organisations, but that these organisations treat employees like resources instead of human beings. In his role as founder and representative of Winkwaves, he gives a lot of presentations and advises organisations how to connect people, enable meaningfull conversations, and unleash the knowledge and energy people have to offer. This vision has been reïficated in "Winkwaves Kenniscafe", an online environment for enterprise social networking and knowledge sharing in the business environment, where people can meetup around a virtual coffee machine.
