It&#8217;s nice to put what you learn into practice right away, you immediately see the usefulness of it and your knowledge stays with you longer. It gives context when customers tell you what doesn&#8217;t work and why, for me it is necessary to see the bigger picture.

At Gemba we are with 40 people. With a small group, the dynamics are different. Everyone has their own role, but the goal is the same: to create a good IBM Maximo environment for customers together. That also happens in a fun way. At Gemba, it&#8217;s all about the people, you have to enjoy yourself. Because you create a good product with craftsmanship and dedicated people. You can also feel free to stand out from the crowd. Do you have an idea? Go for it! That is the norm at Gemba and I feel comfortable with that.\u201d[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; header_2_font=&#8221;Titillium Web|600|||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;36px&#8221; header_2_letter_spacing=&#8221;2px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.3em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||12px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;50px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;50px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;50px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;flip&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;28px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bullet\" src=\"https:\/\/gemba.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Vector-5.png\">  What was your most memorable Gemba outing?<\/h4>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; text_font=&#8221;|300|||||||&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;22px&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;slide&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;left&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]\u201cOur trip to Seville for Gemba&#8217;s 25th anniversary, I hadn&#8217;t been working there that long then. The setting, the atmosphere, the people: it was great. On the back of a colleague on a scooter, I&#8217;ve never been so scared in 16 years with the police! Those things go very fast and I could barely stand on the scooter with one and a half feet. But I also enjoyed the other outings so far, such as the tour at Grolsch. When you walk along such a production line, you immediately wonder how they do it with maintenance. You suddenly look at it very differently.\u201d[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; header_2_font=&#8221;Titillium Web|600|||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;36px&#8221; header_2_letter_spacing=&#8221;2px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.3em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||12px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;50px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;50px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;50px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;flip&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;28px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bullet\" src=\"https:\/\/gemba.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Vector-5.png\">  How do you see the future?<\/h4>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; text_font=&#8221;|300|||||||&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;22px&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;slide&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;left&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am looking forward to learning a lot and helping to further improve the service desk. To take more work off the hands of operations, we want to bring in more knowledge and work more proactively, for example. For example, we have now agreed that we will immediately call from the service desk if there are malfunctions that the fault service is going to handle, as a kind of small customer satisfaction survey. For the time being, I see enough challenge. I don&#8217;t regret for a day that I left the police and chose Gemba.
