“Ever since I started working for Stanwick about 6 years ago, I never stopped learning at a super high pace. Stanwick’s portfolio contains after all a very broad range of projects (from lean office to team development) and all this within very different industries (metal, chemical, food, finance,…). The biggest lever in learning is the multidisciplinary way of working. Whenever a customer has a question, we analyze it form different perspectives (the operational, the organizational and the human perspective)."
"As a starting consultant you receive an extended training about our proper know how and way of working completed with some consulting skills. Consequently you are stimulated to take your proper development in your own hands and to indicate in which direction you want to evolve. As for myself, as a psychologist I would never have thought that I would talk with so much passion about six sigma, statistics and project management. I even hope to attain my black belt six sigma and PMP-Bok certification this year, a clear demonstration that within Stanwick you can shape your own career.”

From the optimizing of back office processes in a big financial institution to the enhancement of the cost efficiency of a supplier of the automotive, each project creating new challenges and opportunities to learn. I have collaborated the past years with enthusiastic colleagues that each had a different background."
"Next to the variety in challenging and rewarding projects, Stanwick also offers its consultants room for initiative. Recently I have followed my customers to China to also offer our services over there. A very interesting and enriching experience, since today I am still working and living in China.Looking back at 5 years with Stanwick, I have enjoyed the diversity in projects, the challenges customers offer me, the friendship of colleagues and above all that the fact that I can manage my own career. Entrepreneurship is definitely one of the core values of Stanwck."
Johan Versieck, Senior Management Consultant @ Stanwick
Educational Background:
- Civil engineer – Electromechanical Engineering (University of Ghent, 1989)
- Master in Industrial Management (University of Leuven, 1990)
- General Management Program (Insead (Cedep), France, 2005)
Johan is mainly active in the optimizing of management processes such as drawing up strategic plans and translating them down into the organization and also in the implementation of project portfolio management and project management.
"To realize sustainable improvement in an organization it is necessary to work on three levers: people, processes and systems. What makes Stanwick Unique is that it has consultants that control each one of these areas, so that they can ‘infect’ each other with knowledge and skills. When executing assignments I often work together with colleagues out of other expertise areas, on the one hand crucial for the success of the assignment and on the other hand enriching for everybody in the team. This allows me to never stop learning."
"When you ask me to describe Stanwick in one sentence, I would say: A no-nonsense consulting firm focussed on implementation, delivering only added value to its customers by means of a diverse team of experts."
