Outsights-In KPN Tech Solutions

"Be more boring and less interesting to let the magic come out?!" If this sounds just as bananas to you as it did to us, stay tuned! In this episode we're interviewing Steve Chapman and were blown away by his take and views on creativity.

What can we learn from the TV proposition of Sky Italia? In this episode Mino shares his views as Head of TV Proposition and Customer Experience. As a former KPN colleague, het talks about his experience working in The Netherlands. What he learned about the cultural difference between Italy and Dutch 'Polderen' and how this developed his leadership skills.

How can we as engineers make an impact on sustainability? In this episode, we invited two experts, Jeroen Cox (Strategic Lead Energie & Enviroment at KPN) and Matteo Dugant (Sustainability Regional Lead at AWS), to unravel this question.

In this episode of Outsights-In we’re having an inspirational talk with Stephen Garcia from Ngrane on his take on modern workforce.

Outsights-In is back from summer break with a brand new episode! We’re proud to say that this episode’s guest is none other than former KPN Colleague Kiki van den Berg, EVP HR Strategy & Transformation & Head Digital Transformation at Rabobank.

Together with our own transformation guru Hidde Andriessen we talked about Rabobank’s Simplify @ Scale program. This transformation program focuses on the next steps in the Agile and busdevops way of working.

But what does that really mean? What were key breakthroughs? Can we still talk about an IT department? What was the effect on people's motivation? What kind of culture fits this way of working? What and who else is involved in such a transformation?

One thing’s for sure: we learned a lot and need to take steps to keep up!

For this episode we invited old acquintance Eric Kuisch! 
Eric worked for KPN for 22 years, is now the COO of Eurofiber Group and recently wrote a book about succesfully managing engineers, developers and IT-specialists called ‘Paradijsvogels/Birds of Paradise’. 
We talked about his KPN journey, but mostly about how to work with tech talents/paradijsvogels. How do you recognise these talents? How do we stimulate and hire them? Which mistakes do leaders often make when working with IT professionals?
For all our techies: we’re really curious if you recognise what he says and what we, as KPN, can learn and improve!
