| STRATEGIC ADVISE Frederix Management Consultancy BV advises in questions of company management and administration, such as financial feasibility, chances for co-operation or a change process. As independent adviser Rob Frederix investigates and analyses the situation objectively and presents a balanced strategic plan for the future. These assignments can be combined with sparring and coaching programs for executives. Case Study: Words instead of Action Assignment The Chamber of Industry and Commerce of South-Limburg requested clarification on the state of affairs in cross-border co-operation in the Euregion Maas-Rhine. Approach and Results On the basis of three already planned co-operation projects, Rob Frederix interviewed aldermen and mayors of a number of municipalities in the Euregion. What was the outcome? There was a lot of talking about co-operation in the Euregion, but frequently that’s where it ended. A sobering conclusion that resulted in the recommendation to focus cross-border co-operation on concrete and small-scale projects.
