solutions for contactcenters

 

Introducing as4seen ...


as4seen established in 2008, has been set up to perform activities on freelance basis. As4seen is specialized in planning, forecasting and quantifying several activities for contact centers.

During the past 10 years I have fulfilled tasks and managed the total planning cycles of large in-house contact centers of organizations such as OTTO and Rabobank. I did this in various executive roles, e.g. as forecaster and as planner. I also have many years of experience within the contact center as manager of the departments “process control” and the “back offices” and I have led numerous different kinds of projects. In these roles I have developed broad skills in the field of contact centers and have seen and experienced many facets of it.

By applying my econometric background I am able to transfer the impact of process adaptations into concrete quantitive insights. These insights help a lot in the decision making (whether cost-, or human-/strategy-related). I frequently use simulation models for that goal, where I entirely tailor the models towards the specific situation.

In the past few years I have also visited contact centers abroad to establish a useful relationship for my employer. This involved German and French contact centers, who were able to penetrate the Dutch market afterwards.

Since 2005 I am the President of the rural expert group "Planning & Forecasting" of the Association of Contact centers in the Netherlands (VCN). In this expert group, with participating planners and forecasters of organizations with in-house contact centers, the participants are focusing on developments and many current issues in the contact center field. The participants aim to increase each other's knowledge level and help each other with solving questions or dilemmas.

In 2009 I passed my COPC-exam for Customer Service Providers. This registration and certification allows me to coördinate the processes in a contactcenter to achieve contact center excellence according COPC.

In 2010 I was choosen by the members to become  a member of the board of the Association of Contact centers in the Netherlands (VCN). In the board I am responsible for financials and innovations. I also fulfil the role of treasurer.
