Ralu on board, Ed 6: The power of weak and strong connections to become successful - an insightful conversation with Bert-Jan Woertman

Did you know that to be successful you need to build “weak” and ”strong” connections and relationships, as both are equally important to develop and progress in life? In Ralu on Board, Edition 6, I have the pleasure to be in conversation with a very well-known connector, elevator, and promoter from the Brainport area. He has been involved in the development of the smarter square kilometer in Europe, the High Tech Campus, and in this podcast, you will hear about the importance of creating environments where people can collaborate and connect in many different ways. The conversation gives many insights into what does it takes to build trust, challenge the system when it does not give the results you want, to build a new system more appropriate, and how can you do that? I more collaboration and more building trust the answer to our current problems. Bert-Jan Woertman, definitely thinks that we need to surround ourselves with people who can challenge us in the right way and help us ask the right questions, before we can finds the adequate answers.
