Imagine you set up your organisation the way the special forces work, the operational heart of the Korps commandotroepen. Daan Dohmen and Richard Bergmans did it and tell their story.

Prof. Daan Dohmen obtained his doctorate cum laude and is Professor of Digital Transformation in Healthcare. He developed an app called LUCI, which allows doctors to supervise their patients remotely and also started his own company FocusCura. With FocusCura, he received an FD Gazelle for the fastest growing company eight (!) times in a row and thus became Most Innovative Company of the Netherlands. 

He works closely with Richard Bergmans, who was himself a commando and also an instructor. With dozens of operations, including some operational parachute jumps in the deepest secrecy, he knows better than anyone how you can only excel as a team if you can trust each other blindly and maintain focus. 

Green on

Daan Dohmen and Richard Bergmans together wrote the book "Green on", the number 1 management book of the moment! In this book, Daan's knowledge of development and entrepreneurship is combined with the knowledge of Richard, who as an instructor is adept at the (training) principles used within the Special Forces. How did the working methods of Special Forces become the basis of the philosophy on business management? Daan and Richard explain.

The five principles

The book consists of five principles. Using Richard's practical context and entrepreneur Daan's perspective, we discuss the basic principles; Trust, Collaboration & Adaptability and Simplicity. Do these basic principles actually work? How can you be so sure and how do you apply them? Listen now!

We know so much about human behaviour, but we hardly use this knowledge in our work. This is a missed opportunity. In De Werkprofessor, made by BNR & Wendy van Ierschot, recent scientific research into human behaviour is discussed in a lively dialogue with the expert & an entrepreneur.
