Lisanne Dorlas

Social innovation Expert and has a MSc in International Business and BA in Business Studies

She has 12 years of experience in the Insurance sector and the AEC sector and has extensive knowledge and experience in product management, marketing and communication. She focusses on the notion that partnering works best if you take into account what drives the partners. She believes that people are capable of great things, but are rarely given the chance. Organisations that want to distinguish themselves, can only do so if they give their employees the possibilities to evolve.

Mrs. Dorlas is responsible for several successful projects in social innovation. These projects are focused on helping people ‘with a distance to the labor market’ to get a job in the AEC sector, via a digital work passport. She also excels in proposition management and building up support organisations.

Jaap Kolk

He is also responsible for building successful Communities of Practice (CoP) in BIM and building quality. These CoPs are collaborations between public and private organisations, such as local/national authorities, trade associations, SMEs.

Mr Kolk is also heading a large partnership for implementation of the new Dutch Law on Quality Assurance in Buildings. Within this partnership (with all major construction certification institutes in The Netherlands) he develops qualification schemes for digital quality assurance and supports local authorities and builders with the organizational change.
