also reap the benefits of her approach.
Hermina Van Coillie obtained her doctorate at KU Leuven (Quantitative and Personality

Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, where her focus was on individual
differences in the experience of emotions.
She worked for fourteen years as a research expert at the Securex study center, where
she wrote numerous white papers, reports, press releases and scientific articles and
often appeared in the national and regional press. Her research themes are aging and
working longer, burnout, well-being, mobility, flexibility, time and place independent
work, work addiction, work-life balance, remuneration and leadership. She always
makes the link with SDT.
She is a much sought-after speaker and often gives lectures, workshops, training
courses, guest lectures and masterclasses on her research themes. She is a member of

Has your organisation an unstable or foggy view on her demand, you might also struggle with portfolio management. In the past 20 years we have seen IT evolving from a technical oriented team to a more business-oriented department.  Service Management became hot and in the latest evolution value is the key word. But how do I organise my demand? What is Portfolio Management really? And why is it so complicated?

In this presentation, Pieter Hoekstra will talk about the 7 steps to improve your grip on demand with portfolio management. During this 1 hour session, the participants will also work in a short break out to experience one of the steps. The impact of Technical Dept will be explained in relation to a Minimum Viable Service.  And how release management is one of the cornerstones to manage the workload while keeping a professional way of working and to manage expectations.

BIO of Pieter Hoekstra

My first idea was that my work is bridging the gap between business and IT. But behind this idea is mainly bridging the gap between groups and people in their mutual relationship, the processes, technology, and their routines. I found a unique mix of training, workshops, implementation, and improvement of the services of (IT) organizations.

My career started as a trainer and IT consultant at Pink Elephant, for their client Shell. I later worked for KLM, in their IT organization, for more than 10 years, and then in Marketing and HR. In collaboration with McKinsey, I have been able to do strategic projects and have experienced how consultancy work works. Within CTG Belgium, I became business unit manager and learned a lot about the Belgium market.  Subsequently, I made the step to organizational consultancy firm Quint Wellington Redwood (Quint), in roles as trainer, project manager, and country manager Belgium and Luxembourg. Fascinated by the (dis) functioning of groups, I followed intensive training in group dynamics.

Since 2012, I am part of Begrip.be as managing partner, helping people further and providing new insights in the field of group dynamics and service provision based on their bottlenecks. Begrip.be is accredited education partner, certified for USM, licensed for ITIL and Insights.  I am author of ITIL4 training material, reviewer of Service Management content and recent also involved as co-writer in DASA (DevOps) material.

Paul Wilkinson

Paul summarizes his top 10 success factors. These success factors represent hundreds of thousands of hours of shared learning that can help accelerate and improve your chances of transformational success and reduce the pain, cost, and anger of business if we fail.

Kaimar Karu

The key challenges that organizations and nations face in the transition to digital governance are not digital, but are completely analog in nature. In this lecture, Kaimar Karu will explore these challenges, suggest ways to address them, and provide models for integrating technology into existing ways of working.

Eddy Peters

In this presentation, we will explore that being an agile organization has a different definition depending on where you ask. Failure to understand this difference will have a profound impact on development and service organization collaboration. As a result, the agile promise of rapid quality delivery can prove to be a recipe for rapid failure that will adversely affect the user experience. And that’s something developers and service providers don’t want. To understand the difference, we can explore what can be done to ensure that agility fulfills this promise and becomes a tool for the user experience with constant benefits.
