THE WORLD IS CHANGING AT A RAPID PACE
...and not just because of the coronavirus
Business Data Challengers (BDC) specializes in transforming data into valuable information. Hans van Diggelen: "At BDC, we're constantly working to make organizations smarter and help leading companies make better decisions. We operate nationwide, and our colleagues are primarily found at our clients' offices, where they work on innovative solutions."‘
‘"Technological developments are enabling unprecedented communication speeds and generating an abundance of data," says Hans. "As a result, customers are placing ever-higher demands on service. Consumers expect more when purchasing products and services and are asking more complex questions. As a result, organizations are confronted with a constantly changing environment. This demands adaptability. That's precisely where we excel. From an agile, decisive organization, BDC supports companies in taking the necessary steps toward becoming data-driven."’
‘The amount of data continues to grow explosively’
‘We believe the explosive growth in data is driving profound transformation in our rapidly changing world. What's an opportunity today is a necessity tomorrow. Therefore, it's crucial to start today to make your organization scalable, sustainable, and efficient across the board, using data-driven decision-making. We are enthusiastic and challenged by this development. This new dynamic is characterized by increased demands, expectations, and speed in operational processes and innovative products and services. Speed of operation and speed of innovation are the defining characteristics of agile, data-driven organizations.’
No hierarchy
At BDC, it's not about maximizing profit; it's about the interests of our employees and clients. "Of course, we need to make money to keep the company running, but we don't lose sight of our employees. We don't have hierarchy or traditional processes; that's what makes us unique compared to traditional organizations. We act in the client's best interest and according to our own standards and values. This is how we keep our clients satisfied and our Challengers (colleagues) intrinsically motivated. This business philosophy has led to our rapid growth. Once people have started with this model, they don't want anything else."‘
Fun factor
‘For us, it's not just about the organization's fundamental values, but also about the "fun factors." We achieve this by taking an annual company-wide trip abroad; last year, for example, we went to Malaga. We also have a monthly knowledge session where everyone gets together and we combine content and fun. Think of specific client-relevant topics or developing solutions. We always conclude these meetings with a dinner. Every two months, we combine dinner with a fun activity. We've already gone skydiving, karting, cooking, and racing at Zandvoort. We also prioritize health and nature. BDC is also CO2-neutral thanks to its participation in a wind power project.“
Corona data wave
Healthcare institutions are currently facing a capacity problem due to the coronavirus. "They are facing challenges in matching capacity and planning for the deployment of their staff. The need to quickly and easily match the supply and demand of available staff and then deploy them in the right place based on their qualifications, knowledge, and skills is very high."‘
‘We employ an incremental delivery strategy for the solution using an Agile method. This allows for faster delivery of a working (partial) product, which immediately benefits the business. To address this issue, we developed a clear dashboard that all stakeholders can access through a portal. The portal makes all dashboards and the necessary information available, allowing for immediate management of accurate planning. This solution offers immediate benefits to the healthcare organization and allows for management based on key capacity indicators.’
‘'This question is very relevant now and is a good example of how we can quickly help companies convert data into valuable information. Business Data Challengers is the ideal partner for these types of issues. We also provide the option to develop our solutions remotely.’
