Highlights from recent sessions and developments

- UX & Product Owner Safari at Schiphol Group – Participants were given a unique behind-the-scenes look at Schiphol Group. Using practical examples, it became clear how data, forecasting, and collaboration contribute to organizing processes more intelligently and improving the traveler experience.
- The journey of SPP (Strategic Workforce Planning) at UWV – Daniëlle Kleijn and Evelien Sanou from UWV took the participants through how UWV uses the SPP during an inspiring roundtable discussion.
- Management Assistants event: 'The power behind leadership' – This year, too, the Management Assistants from our affiliated organizations gathered again for an inspiring day. The day began in a creative and energetic way with a musical kick-off. Afterwards, we got to work during an interactive LEGO workshop, in which we brought our vision of the role of the Management Assistant in five years to life.
