Signed on: Thu 25 Sep 2008 19:01:42 CEST“Erik was one of the inspirational trainers I had way back in 1996 when I ventured into the world of PCM related moderation. Since then I have had the privilege of working with him around the world, and on every occasion, have been rewarded by seeing an expert at work. I have 'stolen' many of his workshop practices, and he remains one of the finest exponents of workshop facilitation I have met.”

Bénédict Wauters from Brussels
Signed on: Thu 25 Sep 2008 15:55:09 CESTErik is probably the world's most knowledgeable expert on PCM (Project Cycle Management) and problem-solving oriented project planning (LFA). I have learned most of what I know in this domain from him which has helped me to progress faster than would otherwise have been possible. Next to that, he is so passionate about his work that you will find him becoming a friend rather than a service provider if you are also passionate about your work. Top qualities: Personable, Expert, High Integrity

Signed on: Thu 25 Sep 2008 15:56:33 CESTI met Erik the first time in Bruxelles when I attended a moderation course he was offering with Frank Little and Charles de Monchy. Erik is a great trainer. It's wonderful to see how he works using LFA GOPP procedures - he is really a master in this approach.Admin's Comment: Gerardo de Luzenberger was Erik's client

Signed on: Thu 25 Sep 2008 15:57:20 CEST"I have known Erik as a friend and as a muse into mentoring and development for the past four years, hoping to keep in touch for inspiration and co-operation and for the fun times in- and outside working hours, for the years to come. Erik and his partner taught the elements of Logical Framework Approach as a tool within Project Cycle Management. He pulled me/us through from being shy and introvert novices and into becoming confident moderators, eager to apply Goal Oriented Project Planning on our home businesses.
Formerly facilitator of several tools, this was a new way for me to reach people and their consciousness, hence creating results within organizational challenges and strategic and business development. Erik’s influence inspired me to build tools and methodologies, based on his teaching and belief. With further theory and practical experiences, I found ways of combining tools and methodologies, enabling me to be part of solving any kind of problem and development.
Following our first course together, Erik has been available as a person and as a professional, whenever I needed someone to discuss the methodology with, or needing a partner in solving complexities beyond my wit. He has engaged in issues in languages different from his own, and still able to qualify the issues without further explanation. That is professionalism and systematic. I will surely continue to use Erik when I need to develop and when complexities are beyond what I feel secure about handling myself. And I will surely keep in touch and visit whenever I am in the same location as Erik; to get a free advice, a constructive discussion on any issue or just to have a good time in his pleasant company."Admin's Comment: Snr.

Henrik Lettius
Signed on: Thu 03 Jul 2008 20:18:48 CESTErik immediately strikes you as a creative, assertive, social, adaptive and proactive person with a good sense of humour. His social and communication skills are unquestionable and his enthusiasm unequalled and in combination with his international exposure and extensive international experience he achieves great results. I've interacted with Erik in collegial/partnership discussions and as student at his courses and he always impressed me with his ability to keep things simple yet covering the details and an ability to transform theory into practice as well as being an excellent listener who can relate to other people's experience. I would highly recommend to hire him for workshops and programs.Admin's Comment: Sr Project Manager, Novisource Telecom Business Consultancy
Magnus Lundsten from Stockholm
Signed on: Thu 25 Sep 2008 15:57:45 CESTI have had the pleasure of engaging PCM group and Erik Kijne services as a facilitator/moderator. In this concrete case, I found Erik’s experience and approach extremely productive and useful. It was very elevating to see how Erik could turn around a difficult situation and create involvement, ownership, and energy, in a group that initially did not have much hope that things could improve.
This kind of capacity is quite unusual, and I strongly recommend Erik for missions that are challenging and needs a lot of energy, creativity, and fingerspitzgefuhl.Admin's Comment: Magnus Lundsten was Erik's client
