He finished a new extension in 2013, and completed the renovation of Kruger’s ori...

different editions of the Organon and The Chronic Diseases in Dutch.

It became clear that Hahnemann worked from brilliant ideas,

experiences, potencies and accurate experiments and reported

these processes thoroughly i...

Systemic insights into work and organisations.

How are we going to get this change process back on the rails? What job description would best describe the new manager’s function? What position would be best for me, as a consultant, to take up in a company? How is the market going to react to this new product?

These are just a few examples taken fro...
