Getting things moving. Making change stick.
For organisations where projects slow down, operations struggle and teams lose direction.
Goudboom helps organisations with projects that have stalled, operations teams losing their grip and teams that no longer move forward. With structure where it is needed, agility where it is possible, and always an eye for what comes next.

Does this sound familiar?
- A project is months behind, and nobody knows exactly why any more.
- Your team is firefighting instead of moving forward.
- Client and supplier point at each other. The atmosphere has soured.
- Another consultant joins, and when they leave, the knowledge leaves with them.

I am Yuri van der Putten. Managers call me when things get stuck. I stay involved until it works, not until the report is finished.
Where is it getting stuck?
The project is stuck
Project management to get a grip on planning, risks, decision-making and results again.
More about project management→Operations are out of control
IT/IV consultancy to organise operations, processes, information and responsibilities better.

How I work
Getting acquainted.
Preferably over lunch, on me. You tell me where it hurts, I ask questions.
Plan of action.
A clear picture of the real problem, what "done" means and what the first step is.
Delivery & handover.
I deliver and build the handover as I go, so that what I leave behind keeps standing.

The Goudboom vision
- Enjoyment at work
- Serious about enjoyment at work. Not as a bonus, but as a condition for change, improvement and innovation that people actually carry.
- Foundation
- Getting the basics right brings calm and room. It makes teams agile and gives people control over their work again. In control together, without regulating everything.
- Continuity
- What does a consultant leave behind? A solution that works and keeps working. That is why I make sure knowledge, ways of working and ownership land in the organisation.
Frequently asked questions
What does Goudboom Adviesbureau do?
Goudboom Adviesbureau gets complex IT and organisational issues moving again. Yuri van der Putten works as an interim project manager, IT/IV consultant and agile coach, and makes sure the result keeps standing after he leaves.
Which organisations do you work for?
For medium-sized and large organisations, mainly in the (semi-)public sector: among others aviation, justice, healthcare and public health.
When do you bring Goudboom in?
When a project is stuck or behind schedule, when suppliers and the organisation work past each other, or when an operations team needs to become more robust and predictable.
What is left behind after an assignment?
I build the handover from the start: clear processes, clear roles, embedded ways of working and teams that can continue on their own.
Do you work traditionally or agile?
Both. Traditional where it must be, agile where it can be. The approach follows the context, not the other way round.
Can I also hire you through an intermediary?
Yes. You can engage Goudboom Adviesbureau directly or through an intermediary.
