About us
Connecting People and Systems to reduce risks
Food Supply Chains and other supply chains are complex international networks of interacting and continuously changing processes and products. This complexity results in risks that need to be identified and controlled. Effective management systems support a high level of assurance, but even the strongest systems fail when people are not engaged, well-trained and motivated.
Cor Groenveld Consultancy is able to support organisations in their never-ending journey of improving management systems and training and coaching people. Our approach is to identify your organisation’s needs and/or issues, to define objectives and programmes, and to ensure effective implementation and measurement of results.
Our services depends on your needs. This might be a one day advanced auditing workshop for your internal auditors or a longer term consultancy relationship to support you in defined assurance activities.
