Education & Knowledge Economy

On 1 January 2009, Boer & Croon started an Education & Knowledge eEonomy practice. This sector-oriented practice brings together our group-wide knowledge and experience in the world of universities and educational and research institutions, knowledge infrastructure, and innovative initiatives on the cutting edge, where academic and business worlds meet.

The new practice is led by Ron van der Jagt, partner on the consulting side of the bureau. Hanneke Möhring, partner on the interim-management side of Boer & Croon, is a fellow initiator. The new practice represents every operating company and therefore also every specialism within Boer & Croon.

Rob van der Laan, chairman of the Executive Board of Boer & Croon, commenting at the start of the new practice: “We are very happy with this initiative. This practice is a logical step given the huge growth in the number of substantive, strategic and organisational questions that are being put to us, particularly by colleges and universities. Practical experience has shown that using our collective experience enables us to make a real difference regarding renewal, change and improvement. And of course the increased attention being paid in our society to good education and the position of the Netherlands as a high-quality knowledge economy is a real stimulus to our people.”
