Recently had the privilege of meeting with the CWS Group team, renowned for their expertise in health and safety under the Haniel Group umbrella.
This meeting took me back to the time I worked with CWS at Haniel for 6 years, where I was in charge as the Head of Operational Excellence.
Reflecting on that period, it’s evident how foundational those years were in shaping my professional acumen.
A few key takeaways :
🔸 Operational Efficiency:
At Haniel, I learned how to streamline processes, reduce costs, and improve service delivery, all essential for running my own venture.
🔸 Team Management:
Leading diverse teams taught me the importance of human capital. Understanding team dynamics, motivating staff, and creating a positive work culture are skills I brought into my own business.
🔸 Stakeholder Relations:
Regularly interacting with vendors, partners, and customers honed my relationship management skills. Building and maintaining these relationships is crucial for any entrepreneur.
🔸 Strategic Planning:
Being responsible for both short-term execution and long-term strategy, I developed an ability to balance immediate concerns with future goals — a vital skill for steering a startup.
🔸 Resource Allocation:
I learned to work with limited resources, ensuring that every dollar spent or every hour invested yielded the best possible return.
Coming out of the recent meeting, I'm re-energized. It's fascinating how past experiences continue to shape our journey forward.
