Denmark

Gerard is a Dutch organisational psychologist who now runs the Danish Office of a European consulting group associated with Bath Consultancy Group.

Gerard specialises in handling integration processes in mergers and acquisitions of multinationals and in developing organisational culture.

He assists organisations in moving from bureaucratic to dynamic, from non-profit to profit, and in achieving a "mental turnaround", for example after large-scale redundancy. He specialises in individual coaching and mentoring of top managers as well as teamwork and large group interventions.

After it quickly (in 1998) became apparent that Open Space Technology had a bright future in Denmark, Gerard founded the Open Space Institute Denmark and has meanwhile lost count of the number of OS events.  

Gerard has completed assignments in five continents and is a guest lecturer on intercultural management and implementation of change processes in various countries. He is a member of Hepta, a European Management Consultancy Group, and represents Denmark in the International Organisation Development Association (IODA). Gerard works in Danish, Dutch, English and German.
