Panelists

Jan van Bon

Chair and lead architect, SURVUZ Foundation

As an Enterprise Service Management Architect I help reduce complexity and achieve sustainable improvements with the USM Method: a unique proposition from a non-profit position. Service Management will never be the same again. 

I’ve produced more than 100 management books with thousands of authors and reviewers. In my latest book, “Unified Service Management, An Introduction to the USM Method”, I summarize the lessons learned from the past, into a single book on the topic of service management architecture and service management systems. In less than 200 pages, the book unlocks the future of Service Management. 

Jan's proudest achievement is setting up an international community of new thinkers in Service Management who can revolutionize the future of economic sectors like government, health care, education and industry with the help of the USM Method.
