THE WORLD IS CHANGING AT A FASTING RATE

…and not just because of the coronavirus

Business Data Challengers (BDC) specializes in converting data into valuable information. Hans van Diggelen: 'At BDC we are continuously working to make organizations smarter and help leading companies to make better decisions. We work nationally and our colleagues can mainly be found with our clients, where they work on innovative solutions.' 

'Technological developments ensure unprecedented high communication speed and provide an abundance of data,' says Hans. 'Customers are therefore placing increasingly higher demands on service. Consumers expect more when purchasing products and services and ask more complex questions. As a result, organizations are confronted with a continuously changing environment. This requires adaptability. That is exactly what we excel in. From an agile, decisive organization, BDC supports companies in taking the necessary steps towards a data-driven organization.'

'The amount of data continues to grow explosively'
'We believe that the explosively increasing amount of data influences the drastic transformation in the rapidly changing world. What is an opportunity today is a necessity tomorrow. That is why it is important to start today to make your organization scalable, sustainable and efficient across the board using data-driven decision-making. We are enthusiastic and challenged by this development. This new dynamic is characterized by increased demands, expectations and speed in the field of operational processes and innovative products and services. Speed of operations and speed of innovation are the defining characteristics of agile data-driven organizations.'

No hierarchy
Within BDC it is not about making as much profit as possible, but the interests of the employee and the customer are central. 'Of course we have to earn money to keep the company running, but we do not lose sight of the employee. We don't know hierarchy, we don't know classic processes, that makes us unique compared to traditional organizations. Act in the interests of the customer and according to our own standards and values. This is how we keep our customers satisfied and our Challengers (colleagues) remain intrinsically motivated. This business philosophy has ensured that we have experienced rapid growth. Once people have started in this model, they don't want anything else.'

Fun factor
'For us it is not only about the fundamental values of the organization, but also about the “fun factors”. We accomplish this by taking a trip abroad with the entire company once a year; for example, last year we went to Malaga. In addition, we have a knowledge session every month where everyone comes together and we combine content and fun. Consider specific themes that affect the customer or the development of solutions. We always end these meetings with a dinner. Every two months we combine dinner with a fun fun activity. We have already gone skydiving, karting, cooking and racing at Zandvoort. We also find health and nature very important. BDC is also CO2 neutral by participating in a wind power project.'

Corona data wave
There is currently a capacity problem at healthcare institutions due to the coronavirus. 'They have a challenge in terms of capacity matching and planning for the deployment of their employees. The need to quickly and easily match supply and demand of available employees and then deploy them in the right place based on qualifications, knowledge and skills is very great.'

'We use an incremental delivery strategy of the solution using an Agile method. In this way, a working (partial) product can be delivered more quickly, which immediately benefits the business. For the above issue, we have developed a clear dashboard that provides access to all stakeholders via a portal. All dashboards with the necessary information are made available via the portal so that correct planning can be implemented immediately. This is a solution that offers direct benefit to the healthcare organization and provides the opportunity to manage on the most important capacity indicators.'

'This question is now very topical and is a good example of how we can quickly help companies convert data into valuable information. Business Data Challengers is the partner for these types of issues. We also provide the option to develop our solutions remotely.'
