Getuigenissen

"Bij onderzoek heb je de tijd en de mogelijkheid om je projectteam met hun ideeën te laten spelen. Samen kunnen jullie zoeken naar wat zou kunnen werken. Ik werkte vroeger als technisch expert, en dan ga je steeds dieper op de inhoud in. Nu, als projectmanager, ben ik altijd bezig met meerdere dingen tegelijk. Die variatie is verfrissend, daar hou ik echt van." (Diana, Technisch Projectmanager @ Flanders Make sinds 2019)

Testimonials

“In research, you have the time and the opportunity to let your project team play with their ideas. Together you can search for what might work. I used to work as a technical expert, but then you go deeper and deeper into the content. Now, as a technical project manager, I am busy with several things at the same time. That variety is refreshing, I really like that.” (Diana, Technical project manager since 2019 @ Flanders Make)
