Entrepreneurship as the search for excellence

A businesslike approach to your work contributes to overall positive results: for the client, for Tebodin and for yourself. To many successful professionals, an entrepreneurial attitude makes the difference between mediocrity and excellence.

Win-win situations
According to Niek de Koning, Office Director Tebodin Maastricht, the Netherlands, entrepreneurial attitude is key to success for both making money for our client and to create business continuity for our own company. According to Niek it means you are actively spotting and utilizing opportunities to create win-win situations for both our clients and ourselves. A clear and continuous thinking process, in which you are able to translate clients business needs into the project needs, combined with a well developed project approach, will enhance efficient and effective project management. A good communication between our client and within your team remains your highest priority. In order to achieve good final results, we pay particular attention to definition of clear project premises with our clients, we continuously look to opportunities to improve our project approach and anticipate upon project risks, still looking through entrepreneurial eyes. 

Identifying opportunities
Petr Kurka, Director Tebodin Czech Republic, thinks that entrepreneurship can be regarded as either starting something new or developing something mature. ‘In both cases, you grasp the opportunities. As such, entrepreneurship is extremely important for our company. On a global scale I observe the continuous drive to start something new, in terms of broadening our network with countries, regions, markets and disciplines. On the country scale and from a personal perspective, I am glad to have the freedom and responsibility to develop our presence in a growing number of market sectors. It requires a kind of alertness that becomes second nature.’

Freedom to act
Danny Smeets, Project Manager at Tebodin Maastricht, the Netherlands, considers entrepreneurship inside the company part of the daily work. ‘We get the chance to work in a flexible manner, to make our own decisions, and this freedom and responsibility stimulate us to think about the process and most efficient working methods. Most important to me is taking personal initiatives, as a lot of new work comes from direct contact with clients.’ Niek de Koning couldn’t agree more: ‘Keeping your eyes and ears open, and discussing opportunities with colleagues and clients, is the foundation for excellence and our long-term success.’
