Since 2015 University of Twente strives to be an “lean doing” university, start with continuous improving, to become an organization of serious improvers.

The purpose of the committee is professionalizing the Business Information Managers of the University of Twente. Two times a year we check our needs for knowledge and experiences and come up with a program which meets these needs. For example masterclasses and interactive BIM meetings.
UT: ‘think tank’ for the department Center for Educational Support (CES)
Within our department there are numeral sub-departments and teams. How do we stay connected, keep in touch with each other, get to know each other, find each other? To help improve our organisation, the CES think tank organizes one event a year to get to know each other better. From the employees, for the employees.
