De Omloop, Kuurne, Samyn, Strade Bianche: een voorjaarsklassiekerreeks die ons als muziek in de oren klinkt! Het wielerseizoen gaat nu echt beginnen en dus is er een bomvolle show met vooruitblikken op de komende wedstrijden en bespiegelingen bij de vorm van de favorieten. John den Braber en Blaudzun spreken met de succesvolle Intermarché-Circus-Wanty-ploegleider én performancemanager Aike Visbeek. De in Zweden woonachtige Noord-Hollander kan niet wachten om met zijn team de lijn van 2022 verder door te trekken, zeker nu de ploeg dit voorjaar al aan de bovenste positie in de WorldTour-ranking snuffelde.Een boeiend gesprek over de Afrikaanse wielersensatie Bini Girmay, waarom de ‘uitgebluste' Rui Costa bij zijn ploeg tekende, over vriend van de show Taco van der Hoorn, creatief werken met weinig budget én met godfather aller ploegleiders Hilaire van der Schueren en waarom Intermarché dit jaar een monument gaat winnen.Verder nog opmerkelijk; Tom Dumoulin had de Giro van 2018 moeten winnen, maar had daar volgens Aike eigenlijk nooit moeten rijden. 'Dan had hij namelijk de Tour de France van dat jaar gewonnen', aldus Visbeek ✌️

Je hoorde een nieuwe aflevering van De Ondernemer op New Business Radio. Presentatoren Remy Gieling en Roland Tameling ontvingen Eric Klaassen, mede-oprichter van boodschappenbezorgdienst en supermarkt-app Crisp. Twee uur lang stond de uitzending in het teken van startups, innovatie, duurzaamheid en voeding. Kortom: een smakelijke uitzending. Inmiddels zijn de bestelwagens van Crisp niet meer weg te denken uit onze straten. De service bezorgt in heel Nederland en Vlaanderen zeven dagen per week boodschappen. Vóór 22.00 uur via de app besteld is de volgende dag in huis. Het assortiment van Crisp bestaat uit producten van meer dan 800 veelal lokale boeren, makers en kwekers. Het bedrijf werd eind 2018 gelanceerd door Tom Peeters, Michiel Roodenburg en Eric Klaassen. De missie? Eten met betere kwaliteit gemakkelijk bereikbaar maken. In juni 2022 werd Crisp bekroond tot Innovatiefste e-Commerce Bedrijf en door onderzoeksbureau GfK werd Crisp uitgeroepen tot Beste Online Supermarkt op het gebied van aanbod, service, prijs en kwaliteit. In september vorig jaar kondigde Crisp de acquisitie van lokale leverancier De Eetfabriek aan, waarmee de service versbereide, kant-en-klare maaltijden uit eigen keuken aanbiedt. Met de overname van De Krat begin dit jaar, voegt Crisp daar nog meer gemak aan toe. De mede-oprichter ging daarnaast met hosts Remy Gieling en Roland Tameling in gesprek over de verdere toekomstplannen, de online boodschappenmarkt, het belang van duurzaamheid en nog veel meer. En we mogen de bijzondere ontstaansgeschiedenis van de startup zeker niet overslaan. Verder te gast in de uitzending waren digital commerce expert Wijnand Jongen, Maurice van Tilburg van Techleap, Reinier de van der Schueren van OOPKOP, Mark Vletter van Voys, Wijnand Jongen van Thuiswinkel.org en kwam Job van den Berg langs voor een verse Data Dinsdag.

Fabienne de Vries ontving cloud consultant Weolcan in Let's Talk Business. Het bedrijf bestaat uit onafhankelijke cloud consultants, die hun klanten begeleiden bij hun digitale transformatie. Dit doen ze door een cloud strategie op te stellen die hen daadwerkelijk gaat helpen met het realiseren van hun strategische doelstellingen. Geen technologie push dus, maar samen met de business kijken naar hoe, waar en waarmee de cloud kan helpen om de klanten van de klant beter, sneller of flexibeler van dienst te zijn. Om klanten 'in control' te laten zijn ten aanzien van Risk, Security, Compliancy Rules en Budget heeft Weolcan hun Cloud Governance Framework ontwikkeld. Daar is onlangs versie 2.0 van gelanceerd. Fabienne ging onder meer daarover in gesprek met Michiel de van der Schueren, co-founder van Weolcan. In het radioprogramma Let's Talk Business gaat het uiteraard over de business, maar vooral ook over de persoonlijke visie en de ambities van de hoofdgast.

Miss België zie je niet op een wedstrijd verschijnen in een salopette en op laarzen. Nee, ze maakt zich op en staat op hoge hakken om haar kwaliteiten te accentueren. Eddy Van der Schueren vindt dat trekpaarden die voor een jury verschijnen, op eenzelfde manier moeten voorbereid zijn. Eddy jureert trekpaarden en vertelt in detail hoe een trekpaard anatomisch correct in elkaar moet zitten om zo een harmonieus geheel te vormen. - Het Belgisch trekpaard of Brabants trekpaard is immaterieel erfgoed - ikwashier.live archiveert tradities en erfgoed, vooral immaterieel of ‘levend' erfgoed.

De vierde lunchshow van De Ondernemer op New Business Radio gemist? Tijdens deze uitzending was niemand minder dan Mark Tuitert de co-host van Remy Gieling. Samen spraken ze over het thema vitaliteit en zijn succesvolle boek DRIVE. Mindset is volgens de oud-schaatser de bepalende factor voor hoe je omgaat met alles wat je tegenkomt in je leven. Dus hoe haal je het beste uit jezelf? Ook is Mark Tuitert zijn schaatscollega en vitaliteitscoach Martin Hersman was te gast. Met hem spraken ze over het belang van vitaal personeel. Juist nu iedereen weer steeds vaker mag aanschuiven in files en overvolle treinen om naar kantoor te gaan.  Verder was Reinier de van der Schueren te gast. Samen met collega Derk van Haastert richtte hij het platform OOPKOP.nl op. Met dit platform kunnen werkgevers preventief investeren in de mentale gezondheid van werknemers. Op het platform kiezen werknemers zelf welk aanbod het beste bij hun behoeften past. Er zijn twaalf categorieën zoals coaching, hulp bij slaap of meerdaagse retraites waar werknemers gebruik van kunnen maken. Twee ondernemers bouwen een oude kogelfabriek in Zaandam om tot theater. Een theater waarbij de zaal en het podium één worden. Hotel Wonderland heeft afgelopen week eindelijk de deuren kunnen openen voor het publiek. Remy Gieling sprak met Michel Groenenstijn. Daarnaast sprak hij ook met Joost van Houten van Sentinels. De Nederlandse startup Sentinels is overgenomen door de Ierse fintech unicorn Fenergo. Sentinels bouwt software die witwassen moet tegengaan middels data en kunstmatige intelligentie. In De Ondernemer Onderweg sprak Roland Tameling over de invloed van kinderen op de autokeuze van hun ouders. Ze lieten een aantal kinderen live los op enkele auto's. Welke auto kozen zij? Ook te gast was Paul Sikkema van onderzoeksbureau Qrius. Het bureau deed onderzoek in opdracht van Ford onder 500 kinderen. Hieruit bleek dat kinderen in de leeftijd van 8 tot 12 jaar auto's leuk vinden en specifieke wensen hebben als het over de nieuwe auto gaat. Uiteraard waren ook columnisten Juri Hoedemakers, bijgenaamd De Hofnar, en Nico Dijkshoorn weer van de partij. De Ondernemer is wekelijks op dinsdag van 11:00 tot 13:00 uur live te beluisteren op New Business Radio en is ook te zien, via de homepage van De Ondernemer, YouTube en Facebook.

Hoog op het gastenlijstje van De Schuine Kant staat Corné van Kessel. Na tien jaar voor dezelfde broodheer gereden te hebben verruilde hij de Telenet-ploeg afgelopen winter voor de wegploeg van Hilaire van der Schueren, Circus-Wanty (in het veld Tormans CX). Van Kessel is altijd van de partij, rijdt alle klassementscrossen en is daarbij een garantie voor top-10 (en veel vaker nog top-5), doet het op alle ondergronden goed; kortom, een vaste waarde. Tegelijkertijd weten we zo weinig van de man die zijn ambities en doelen vaak wél onder stoelen en banken steekt. Tijd om een verbinding met het Belgische Olen te leggen, de plaats waar Van Kessel al negen jaar woont en die van hem een halve Belg maakten. Of, een aangepaste Nederlander, zoals hij zelf zegt. Komen wij wel achter dé ambitie van Kampioen Regelmaat? Luister naar aflevering 13 van De Schuine Kant!

My name is Kingsley Martin and I am the Chief Contract Scientist at Akorda and your host. The NEX podcast is for corporate counsel and corporate sales leaders who need to learn all about the latest contract negotiation technology. This podcast will feature leaders from legal technology, sales and general business functions and we will discuss the best practices, challenges and opportunities of modern contracting.My guest today is Derek Scheuren, CEO and Co-founder of Akorda, where his mission is to transform how businesses contract. Prior to Akorda, he was the Co-founder of Recommind, a big data analytics company where he worked with global 2000 clients, global law firms and technology partners in the areas of eDiscovery and information access. He is also an active investor and advisor to various startups with a focus on enterprise software and artificial intelligence. Derek, welcome to the NEX podcast!DEREK SCHUEREN: Kingsley, it's great to be here. Thanks so much.KINGSLEY MARTIN: We usually like to start our show with a fun fact about our guests. Please tell us something surprising about you.DEREK SCHUEREN: Surprising! Well, a lot of people don't know I'm half Peruvian. My mother was born in Arequipa and so I've spent a lot of time in Peru. Actually, I made a pact with the Co-founder of my last company that when we exited the company, we would go and climb Machu Picchu. We recently did that, it was amazing. We took the Salkantay Trail up to Machu Picchu - it’s such an amazing place and so remarkable that even so long after construction, the walls are perfectly intact. I have always been interested in how the Inca culture was able to do something that even today, in the modern world, we have difficulty in doing.KINGSLEY MARTIN: I must admit, I didn't know that Derek, and I've known you for many years.DEREK SCHUEREN: Well, there you go. This podcast is bringing us together!KINGSLEY MARTIN: One of the most important questions I wanted to ask you is that, you've already built a successful company in the eDiscovery space, what has inspired you to take on the challenge of automating contract negotiation?DEREK SCHUEREN: That's a good question. I wake up in the morning sometimes and I ask myself this very question. I found that it was incredibly rewarding to work with my colleagues at Recommind and with the clients who really transformed an industry. It was a super exciting time. I found after our exit, I really had this desire to try and do something like that again. One of the areas that I found was the most frustrating, and one of the biggest pain points that I had during my time at Recommind was actually getting contracts done. I worked with a lot of large enterprises and large government agencies and we would negotiate very big deals - seven-figure, multi-year deals for SaaS, and for eDiscovery. When we got to contract negotiation, we had to let go of control. Prior to the contract, we would control everything from starting the call, cold calling, and all the way to getting the customer to say yes to a deal. We would then take this contract and we would give it to the customer and we would get back their red lines. We would give it to the lawyers and our staff and it was amazing because we controlled the process so tightly and then we would suddenly no longer be involved. It moved into the legal phase, and the lawyers would run with the contract and then get back to us.I always remarked about how strange that was to be in a process that you control so completely and then you just give away this process to someone else who does not have an incentive in the same way, and who may not have all the context. Sometimes we lost deals, or sometimes deals would get extended. I was very curious about this pain point.I went back to the market and I said, is this lag time something that others experience as well? As I started to talk to more people in the market, I realized that this is a pain point for every company. And it's not just sell side, it's buy side as well. Every company has pains and stories about how difficult it is to get contracts done. And what's remarkable, especially, being here in the Silicon Valley, is that it's very rare to find such a prevalent pain point horizontally, in multiple enterprises, and there is no real traction to change the process. So I thought to myself, maybe this is an area that we can provide unique value and we can really help enterprises be able to contract with one another in a better way, in a more modern way. That's why we created Akorda.KINGSLEY MARTIN: I can absolutely agree with you with respect to the challenges, as someone who started off in private legal practice and moved over to the technology and vendor side, I'm completely aware of those challenges. What are the solutions to these challenges?DEREK SCHUEREN: Well, I believe the solution starts with breaking down the siloed nature of contracts. Really creating more transparency because contracts touch everyone in the organization. You're effectively making promises on behalf of the organization, and so the ability to create more transparency is one of the key drivers. Equally, you need to also provide the tools and data to the people who are driving the contract negotiation.I find it interesting that increasingly, these legal departments and contract professionals are being asked to do more and more with the same set of resources, but they're not provided with any new technology to help them. If you look at how contract negotiation is done, it has barely evolved from the seventies. It's barely evolved from redlining fax documents. Now we redline in MS-Word and email, but it's kind of the same thing. So there's really a lack of help and support for these people that are doing all of this work.Then the third is really data capture. If you do break this out and you're able to be more transparent, you're also able to capture a lot more data than you do today. By capturing data and tracking metrics at different points in the negotiation such as approval times, you're really able to run a better shop. You're able to provide data to the executives both in legal and sales/business or procurement in order to help them get their jobs done more quickly, help them contract better with the other side, and hopefully provide better contracts so that both sides have a good long term relationship that they can build off of.KINGSLEY MARTIN: I can agree to that, these are great observations. We're still using 18th, and 19th century tools in the 21st century. I think that actually having data to drive our decisions is also going to be critical to the future. These are still serious challenges. Can you also talk about the key benefits and opportunities that come from automating contract negotiation?DEREK SCHUEREN: Absolutely. Some of the benefits if you automate contract negotiation on the sell side is that you are able to accelerate your deals. You are able to better get a handle for your contract portfolio risk. When you start to use technology to better standardize what it is that you're doing, you're really able to better serve the business and be able to better serve the counterparty in terms of the obligations that you're agreeing to. You know, Kingsley, obviously you've had quite a career in this area. You have seen this type of contract relay of negotiations and obligations. What are your thoughts around how all of this works?KINGSLEY MARTIN: You know, moving it from an anecdotal world to a data-driven world and when we look at and actually run the economics of contracting and particularly the benefits of deal acceleration, we find that the potential benefits and opportunities run into the millions of dollars a year for large scale companies. So with that attractiveness of that amount of benefit, we really want to look at all possibilities. It comes down to contract simplification and contract tools to be able to automate the contract negotiation process. But I think we also have to address the elephant in the room - the hype around using AI in many industries. Can you help us understand and separate fantasy from reality? What can legal AI really do relative to contract negotiation?DEREK SCHUEREN: This is a good point. There is a large amount of hype about what AI can do across many different industries. The reality is that a lot of these industries don't even know exactly what AI use cases make sense, nor do they have the training data that would allow them to then run the algorithms and create the models to do much of the automation or semi-automation of these processes. In our case, we are very focused on contract negotiation. We are very focused on responding to red lines or responding to third party paper and trying to assess what the reviewer can accept, or what the reviewer needs to reject. How can the reviewer get to a deal that’s good for the company and that the counterparty will accept? Since we are very focused on these specific use cases. As a result, it makes it a lot easier for us to build training data, algorithms and models to automate or semi-automate some of these processes.It's important though, for us to realize that even though we are so focused, we in kindergarten, or maybe first grade as an industry when it comes to AI. This is very important because I think people get the sense that AI is this kind of magical thing, and it is going to replace everyone and impact jobs. It is very important for people to understand that this is not how it works, and not the reality. This is not what is happening today. Much like we did at Recommind we are really using technology to help people be able to do more. We are trying to help make humans better able to do more and more work. As we get more sophisticated down the line, hopefully, we'll be able to automate some of the lower risk, lower value kind of contracts to help people be able to focus on the higher-level things. But we're pretty far away from a machine being able to identify what are all the risks in an indemnification for example, and ameliorate those risks and get to something that the legal and business teams feel will be accepted by the other side.KINGSLEY MARTIN: Thank you. That really just gives so much better perspective in terms of the types of tools and the evolution of those tools. Now, another question that I might have as a potential customer is, what other resources do I need to implement automation and contract negotiation? Do you need data scientists on staff too?DEREK SCHUEREN: That's another good question. If you are told you need data scientists on staff, then you're probably talking to the wrong people. Every day you're negotiating contracts, every day you're making decisions about risks and then figuring out how to get through them. You generate valuable data. You need to be able to then capture that data and use it to help you determine how to better drive risk models and how to create models that help you better do your job. And then you can generate insights - “Hey, when you have this type of risk, you generally try and do A or B.” So here are the solutions that you typically use - 70% of the time you use A-solution and 20% time you use B-solution and then 5% are some outliers.So it's a great question. If you're doing this right, you're already providing the data. It's just about capturing it, harnessing it, and then utilizing it in order to help you do your job better. You don’t need a data scientist, you need tools to help you capture the data and processes you already have,KINGSLEY MARTIN: Derek, this is really helpful and I think people will learn a lot from this. Let’s try to make it real and give our listeners some context. Can you provide a practical use case and example of the use of AI in contract negotiation?DEREK SCHUEREN: Sure. A good example is actually a call I recently had with a large Fortune 500 technology company who is trying to automate the sales process. This use case is about order forms or SaaS agreements for a large tech company. Specifically, they have order forms that have legal terms in them and they want to be able to get through those more quickly and be able to deal with those red lines faster. Obviously, getting deals done faster means they get the revenue in the door more quickly and they don't lose as many deals in this legal process. This is a great example. We are looking at the historic data of all of the order forms and the changes that they have accepted in the past, which allows us to better understand their specific risk model.We are also looking at their playbook to help automate that process as well. This is so that when the contract professional or the lawyers looking at the changes being made, they have the tools available to them to understand what have they historically agreed to, and then how can they move, you know, from A to B to C. This is a good example of helping automate or semi-automate and accelerate the sales process.KINGSLEY MARTIN: Thank you. That's really helpful. And one last question. If listeners want to learn more about AI in the contracting space, can you point them to some resources that they may look to?DEREK SCHUEREN: Absolutely. There's a couple of organizations, iaccm.org as well as cloc.org that have great information. These organizations are an aggregation of mostly larger enterprise companies and together they have information around legal AI. Listeners can also go to akorda.com to learn more. We have a blog and some other content that could be helpful as well.KINGSLEY MARTIN: Thank you Derek for sharing your insights and joining us.

Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and François Thomazeau recap a quiet day on the Tour de France – a long 231-kilometre trek across the countryside that barely sparked into life until the final five kilometres. With the cobbles of Paris-Roubaix looming we ask whether such days are an inevitable consequence of the stress of the opening days of the Tour and the reduction in team size from nine to eight riders. We also talk to Hilaire Van der Schueren, sports director of Wanty-Groupe Gobert, the wild card team who at least put two riders up the road. Dylan Groenewegen of Team LottoNL-Jumbo won the stage – making it his second Tour stage victory after his triumph on the Champs-Elysées last year. We speak to his team-mates about how they pulled it off. And we look back at yesterday’s late drama which cost Tom Dumoulin and Romain Bardet time after the two overall contenders collided. We speak to Dumoulin’s sports director Luke Roberts about the chaos and misunderstandings at the end of the stage to Mûr de Bretagne. The Cycling Podcast is supported by Rapha and Science In Sport

In this episode, I converse with the very talented Katrien Van de Schueren, the highly accomplished artist, designer, and published author who counts many A List Celebrities as her clients and works over 60+ hours a week (at a minimum) trying to accomodate her exclusive clientele.  She is also the mother of two beautiful children, Emma & Louis, and married to Wouter De Beuckelaer so she also has numerous family responsibilities on top of her busy work week which makes it tough for her to find time to get into the gym and take care of her health.  Not to mention, Katrien has had to build up her business up from the ground floor, manage a staff of 25, and prior to last year never worked out a day in her life!  Needless to say, her transformation is an inspiring one and shows us we can change at any given moment and make working out a part of our lifestyles and most importantly - A HABIT!
