N R Malotaux - Consultancy

Niels Malotaux (niels@malotaux.eu) is an independent international development team coach, and expert in optimizing organizational, management, project, and team performance. He has some 45-year experience in designing electronic and software systems, first at Philips Electronics, then 18 years leading an electronic systems design company, and since 1998 coaching projects to deliver Quality on Time: delivering the Right Results at the Right Time, securing customer success. From time to time he still develops electronic products for clients, which allows him to understand the pitfalls of developers first hand.

Since 2000, he taught and coached well over 400 projects and teams in 40+ organizations in the Netherlands, Belgium, China, Germany, Ireland, India, Israel, Japan, Poland, Romania, Serbia, South Africa, the UK, and the US, which led to a wealth of experience in which approaches work better and which work less well in real practice.

Some examples of my clients' accomplishments (following my suggestions):
-  Electronic product development project (US): saved about half a year (some 20 man-year not wasted), delivered 'unprecedented quality'.
-  Space project (NL): saved about one year (some 40 man-year not wasted)
-  Software project (PL): had deadline in 6 weeks; called it 'mission impossible'.    With some coaching delivered successfully in 5 weeks (proudly saying: "No overtime!")
-  Large development project (UK): wasted some 70 man-year (not following my suggestions)
