Views on Management: Rijnland vs. Anglo-American

On invitation of Bram, who is a Master Black Belt in Lean Six Sigma, I participated in a meeting with members of a Dutch network of quality managers (Nederlands Netwerk van Kwaliteitsmanagers – NNK). The goal of this NNK network and someone that brings Lean Six Sigma into practice is, as you might have guessed: quality improvement.
As I am a Business Process Management consultant at Approach, which of course has a lot to do with (process) quality improvement, I gladly accepted this invitation. Topic of the evening was the difference between two views (Rijnlands vs. Anglo-American) on quality management. Rijnlands being a management paradigm from the Netherlands and Germany, Anglo American as a management culture from USA and UK.
