David Binnerts (1965)
During the 1990’s David Binnerts was a “flying-by-night” international consultant in the media industry, working out formulas to make good programmes and earn money as well. When back in the Netherlands, he shifted his attention to industrial, service and project organizations, with the purpose to promote competitiveness and growth. David facilitates lean implementation programmes at companies in the process industry (Nestlé, Friesland Food, Heinz, Sonneborn Refined Products), in services (provinces of Friesland and Noord Brabant, local authorities in several cities, Hertz, University of Amsterdam), and in project organizations (ICCO, Wereldkinderen, Heembouw). David is one of the three founding partners at TAKT.
“Lean is about pacing and shifting gears whenever demand or circumstances require. When demand increases, we match by distributing the load. When there’s less need, we beef up our capability to perform.”
