My name is Everard van Kemenade. I am your coach in change. I thrive in situations where change is emergent. I support your organisation, your teams, your individual employees to improve the quality of the work. I am trained in NLP and a quality expert. I am an audit expert. I have done surveys and audits in many different audit schemes. Health Care and Education are the two sectors I focus on.
I love to do research on emergent change. I am member of the Editorial Board of the Vietnam Journal of Education, and reviewer for The TQM Journal, the Journal of Quality in Education and Journal of Education and Curriculum Development Research.
Creating a quality culture is my first passion. Working in an intercultural environment my second. I have a lot of experience in working in the Caribbean, The Middle East, South-East Asia and Africa. One of my most important values is that one needs to have respect for the model of the world of someone else.
I am co-founder and secretary of SYNERGY, the emerging Caribbean Learning Community for Leaders in Healthcare. I am a member of the Dutch Academy for Quality. I am co-founder and member of the Sustainability Alliance that promotes sustainability in organisations. In general, one can say, I have a growth mindset.
I am proud to be a member of the European Health Futures Forum, a living architecture for transformative change in healthcare.
I am a notorious fan of music, especially music by Frank Vincent Zappa. I love his quote: “Progress is not possible without deviation from the norm”.
I have a lovely wife, two children and three grandchildren (all girls). O yes, and we have a stubborn dachshund, called (David) Bowie.
