In the first months of the new year, several changes took place in the personnel composition. Menno Smidts, Bart Nieuwenhuis, and Marieke Fijnvandraat left Dialogic, and at the same time, we welcomed a number of new researchers/advisors: Ronald Batenburg, Corine Zijderveld, Reg Brennenraedts, and Harry Bouwman.
Ronald Batenburg is affiliated with Dialogic for two days a week. Additionally, he works as an associate professor in Organisation and Information at the Institute for Computing and Information Sciences at Utrecht University. His areas of expertise include (among others): ICT and labour, ICT in the healthcare sector, implementation of enterprise-wide information systems, Business-IT alignment, telecommuting, e-procurement, and CRM and ERP systems.
Corine Zijderveld previously worked as a researcher at the Stichting voor Economisch Onderzoek (SEO). Currently, she is actively involved in education and broadband fields at Dialogic. While at SEO, Corine Zijderveld published works on topics such as healthcare, culture, and knowledge protection.
Reg Brennenraedts studied Technological Innovation Sciences at Eindhoven University of Technology and Electrical Engineering at HTS Eindhoven. His expertise lies in the areas of innovation and broadband, telecommunications, and media.
Lastly, Harry Bouwman, an associate professor in Information and Communication Technology at Delft University of Technology, has been brought on as a researcher/advisor at Dialogic for one day per week.
In 2006, we also bid farewell to three of our employees. Since March, Marieke Fijnvandraat has been working as a consultant in telecom & media at Cap Gemini. Menno Smidts and Bart Nieuwenhuis started their consultancy firms: Menno Smidts, with Envolve Public Entrepreneurship, primarily focuses on setting up innovative broadband projects (infrastructure and services). Ongoing projects (like BreedNet Amersfoort) are being completed in collaboration with Dialogic, and there are plans for future joint projects. Bart Nieuwenhuis founded the management consultancy Knowledge for Business Innovation. He provides advice on innovation and strategic development, often in ICT-related projects. Bart Nieuwenhuis remains associated with Dialogic. We wish Marieke, Menno, and Bart success in their new roles.
