One of the striking features of Rijkers’ approach is the emphasis on people. He understands that it is the individuals within an organization who drive change and adapt to new technologies at the end of the day. By recognizing the human element as the linchpin of successful transformation, he provides valuable insights into the psychology of change, employee engagement, and fostering a culture of innovation.

What really sets this book apart, is its holistic perspective. Ron Rijkers recognizes that these three pillars – people, processes and technology – are inextricably linked.
