Last week I was speaker, interviewer and panel moderator at the partner day of Dutch Sumatra Software, a supplier of innovative operational intelligence software for Exact Software, Navision Software and Dynamics 365 Business Central among others.  

A group of 50 reselling partners gathered in the dolphinarium in beautiful Harderwijk for an enjoyable and varied afternoon.

Inspiring keynote presentation

In my keynote presentation I spoke about project success as the overarching goal of every IT project. About good project preparation. About better customer orientation by avoiding complexity. And about the important role of the right insights and making good and fast decisions.

Interactive panel discussion

Then I led a panel discussion with the audience as the panel. All partners actively participating by voting on statements via their phones.

Insightful interviews

Finally I interviewed 3 customers on stage about how Sumatra's software helps them improve the results of their organizations. About how they select their resellers. And what qualities and skills they expect from their partners in the near future.

This is what co-organiser HenkJaap van den Broek said about my contributions:

“Guus knows like no other how to stimulate his audience on the only subject that really matters: creating customer value and achieving project success. With his keynote presentation and his other contributions he has achieved that once again with a lot of energy, humor and a bit of challenge with us and our partners.”
