Get twinkledThe TWNQL factor
TWNQL innovates. Innovation brings positive energy, new inspiration and fun. This brings back laughing eyes in an organization. I call this the TWNQL factor. My name is Rex Bierlaagh, I am the founder of TWNQL.
New energy through innovation
With an eye for people and brands I generate new energy through innovation of products and services. Innovation in the broadest sense of the word: first go back to the core (why do we do what we do), then generate new ideas, further develop them and facilitate the implementation. And all this with a very clear focus on results.
Creative thinking
TWNQL specializes in idea generation: the starting point of every innovation.
TWNQL facilitates idea generation sessions and brainstorms by which new products and services are invented. TWNQL also helps with the selection of the best ideas, the transformation of ideas to products and services and the question of how to organize innovation.
Personal approach
TWNQL’s distinctiveness lies in the personal approach. First zoom in on you (the person) and the team and then, if necessary, look at the process and underlying figures. Why do you want to innovate, what is the purpose anyway? Is adequate conviction, enthusiasm and inspiration available to actually bring this process to a successful conclusion? Only when this is all clear, we will continue the innovation journey.
