Roland Driesen is the founder of Silverside and Connecting Colours and works for both companies hands-on for approximately 120 different organisations throughout EMEA.
With Silverside Roland has more than 18 years of experience in the Enterprise Collaboration market. He has worked as the Director of Learning & Development, since 2010, and advises global organisations and teams on new implementation strategies. He has consulted to large international organisations such as KPN Mobile, ING, SES, PON, BE Semiconductor, PANalytical and Apollo Vredestein. While his technical background remains in IBM and Microsoft products he has shifted his focus to Change Management. His passion is to combine technology with psychology, which created the PACE implementation methodology and the logic for the Collaborative Culture Assessment.
Roland started Connecting Colours to go further and deeper in this area and became a licensed Insights Discovery practioner. As a facilitator Roland lead individuals to better selfunderstanding, improve team collaboration and equip teams to better align with their surroundings. With his background from Silverside he is able to manage larger projects and turn-key events.
