Reliable and committed advisor who makes business and IT work together - less frustration, more results

"Initially, we were reluctant to work with Mellius. He had no in-depth experience in our industry and was unfamiliar with our organization's internal processes. The question arose: can he really help us? However, those doubts quickly disappeared. Mellius convinced us right from the start through his reliable and knowledgeable approach. He asked the right questions and listened patiently to our challenges and goals. His ability to quickly grasp complex situations and provide structure made a huge difference.

From doubt to insight: how AI and practical experience make Mellius' RCA workshop unique

"When I signed up for Mellius' RCA workshop, I doubted I would get much new from it, since I already have a lot of business analysis, Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and Lean knowledge and experience. Nevertheless, this workshop positively surprised me. The theories and insights from the e-book "Making Careful Decisions" were discussed in the workshop, but what makes the approach so unique (and very valuable to me) is the combination of Mellius' practical experience and application of knowledge, combined with various AI tools.

During the RCA workshop, I was stuck with a specific case that had been frustrating me for a while. The interactive format allowed me to share my challenge, and using AI-driven problem analysis, he helped me clarify and solve the problem. This not only saved me a lot of time, but also produced a much better result than I had expected for myself.

The combination of theory, practical examples, plenary case discussion and personal guidance made this workshop really valuable. I not only gained new insights, but also concrete tools that I can apply immediately. If you're looking for an effective and pragmatic approach, I highly recommend Mellius' workshop!"

Throw in a quarter and Mellius will make sure you get a euro back

"It's always a question of what working with externals will bring. I have worked a lot with externals. I wondered beforehand what I was going to gain from working with Mellius. Mellius has exceeded my expectations. He is good at gathering, monitoring and qualifying requirements. Throw in a quarter and Mellius makes sure you get a euro back. He has a tremendous drive to add customer value. He is good at monitoring the project scope and he keeps a keen eye on the goal of the project. I appreciate his attitude as a human being. He positions himself independently."

Duco Neve, Project Manager, Zicht Advisors

Greater ease of use, 50% reduction in lead time and less frustration in the department

"I have experienced the failure of IT vendors to deliver on promises several times during system implementations. In addition, they often only looked at the cost, but not at what it would bring to the business. During the digital change process for a new risk insurance tool, we approached it carefully with an extensive Proof of Concept and by involving users extensively. Mellius was responsible for the business analysis during the PoC, change project and implementation. I would definitely recommend working with Mellius! He has a helicopter view, is good at setting priorities and connects the business and IT. The system successfully went live and resulted in more user convenience, a 50% reduction in turnaround time for the bulk of the cases and less frustration in the department. As far as I am concerned, the methodology of this change project is the blueprint for all future digital change projects we will implement within our company."

Gladys Geurts, Product Owner / Team Manager Private View Advisors

Mellius led team under extreme time pressure to result

"Under extreme time pressure - during the summer vacation - Mellius led a dedicated team to assess the functional and technical applicability of an alternative compute core.

"Mellius has a very pleasant positive personality and is therefore a nice person to work with. In addition, he can share and explain his knowledge without coming across as a pedantic or rooster. That is rare, he has a huge favor factor with clients! I also liked that he slowed me down at the beginning of the project to dwell on the 'softer' things like getting to know each other and agreeing on how we want to work together. Thanks again for that!"

Recommended for anyone who wants to improve their problem-solving skills and is curious about AI

"Before I started the RCA training, I really wondered: How will this contribute to my daily work? That doubt was quickly dispelled by the enthusiastic and clear explanations during the training. What made the session so effective was the combination of theory and practical examples. Precisely because of those examples, I understood the theory much better and could apply it in my own work.

The combination of AI and RCA gave me new insights and showed me how to use technology for problem solving. The structured format, with theory first and then practical application, made the learning process very accessible. One of the examples I had brought in myself was handled in a way that inspired me to use more AI in my work processes.

In short, the training provided exactly the tools and insights I needed to take my work to the next level. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to improve their problem-solving skills and is curious about AI!"

Nienke van den Broek, Business Analyst, Stater

Jannes de Haan, Process Manager, Nationale Nederlanden

As a sparring partner, he provides excellent feedback and advice

"Mellius has been my coach for over 3 years, our coach-coachee relationship has grown a lot. In the first year, Mellius mainly helped me find solutions to very specific problems and challenges. Then we entered a phase where he became a sparring partner who really challenges me to get the best out of myself. He provides excellent feedback and advice. All in all a very customized, educational and enjoyable experience."

He thinks through and thinks one step further. Furthermore, he is approachable and allows others to have their value. Because of his help, we worked on the right things during the change process for the benefit of the consultant and the client."
