John James Peereboom took this initiative together with a number of companies, supported by employers\u2019 organisation FME and the ministry of Economic Affairs. They saw the Dutch economy suffering from a severe crisis while those of Japan and the US were booming. They found out that quality management such as Kaizen and Total Quality Management was commonplace in these countries.<\/p>\n<p>MANS organised large-scale meetings with business tycoons such as Honeywell, Rank Xerox and DAF whose CEO\u2019s were also member of the board. Important politicians, such as Ruud Lubbers and Frans Andriessen, were member of the board as well. They stimulated professionalization of business management during the eighties and nineties. MANS had 6,000 members at that time.<\/p>\n<p>Unique for MANS was that it integrated the hard and soft side of management in one method. In 1994 MANS became a commercial business consultancy, led by drs. Jane Zuidema. The purpose of the association had been achieved.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/6&#8243;][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mmm0-4FC8Ts&#8221; el_width=&#8221;90&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]<div class=\"tlg-spacer\" data-height=\"40\" data-height-tablet=\"40\" data-height-mobile=\"40\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;height:40px;\"><\/div>[vc_row_inner equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/6&#8243;][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DzmHVlVRVhE&#8221; el_width=&#8221;90&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/6&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1697119080242{margin-right: 10px !important;margin-left: 10px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;textBlackNormal&#8221;]As a pioneer in TQM, MANS was also one of the initiators of the Instituut Nederlandse Kwaliteit (Institute of Dutch Quality). Thus, it was only natural that MANS contributed considerably to the INK-model. During the nineties and the beginning of the new millennium, MANS became one of the experts in supporting organizational development based on this model.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, MANS developed Open Mind Management\u00a9: a powerful and logical continuation of TQM and INK, in which MANS combines its experience with organisational change with aspects from neurology, psychology and business administration. The addition of analysing behaviour is the ultimate way to manage, to speed up and to secure change properly.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]<div class=\"tlg-spacer\" data-height=\"40\" data-height-tablet=\"40\" data-height-mobile=\"40\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;height:40px;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row tlg_padding=&#8221;pt64 pb64&#8243; tlg_parallax=&#8221;not-parallax&#8221; tlg_equal_height=&#8221;equal-height&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1697119128147{padding-right: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;background-color: #c90946 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column]<div class=\"headings-title\"><div class=\"mb16 mb16 mb-xs-40 text-center\"><h2 style=\"color:#ffffff!important;font-size:50px;line-height:60px;text-transform: uppercase!important;text-shadow:none;font-family:Pathway Gothic One;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;\" class=\"widgettitle mb0\">OMM\u00a9 Principles<\/h2><div style=\"color:#ffffff!important;font-size:25px;line-height:30px;text-transform: none!important;\" class=\"widgetsubtitle\">Open Mind Management\u00a9 is based on three principles.<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tlg-spacer\" data-height=\"50\" data-height-tablet=\"50\" data-height-mobile=\"50\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;height:50px;\"><\/div>[vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;]<div class=\"headings-title\"><div class=\"mb16 mb16 mb-xs-40 text-left\"><h3 style=\"color:#ffffff!important;font-size:30px;line-height:40px;text-transform: uppercase!important;text-shadow:none;font-family:Pathway Gothic One;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;\" class=\"widgettitle mb0\">1. OWNING YOUR OWN BEHAVIOUR<\/h3><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;textWhiteNormal&#8221;]The number one principle of OMM is that people should obtain ownership of their own behaviour. In the base course OMM\u00a9 people investigate their own behavioural script. How have they been conditioned to behave. A behavioural script is not right or wrong, it is based on early experiences during the upbringing. It\u2019s neither about having to change. It is about knowing the limitations of your behavioural script and creating a larger behavioural menu.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"tlg-spacer\" data-height=\"10\" data-height-tablet=\"10\" data-height-mobile=\"20\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;height:10px;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;]<div class=\"headings-title\"><div class=\"mb16 mb16 mb-xs-40 text-left\"><h3 style=\"color:#ffffff!important;font-size:30px;line-height:40px;text-transform: uppercase!important;text-shadow:none;font-family:Pathway Gothic One;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;\" class=\"widgettitle mb0\">2. Authenticity<\/h3><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;textWhiteNormal&#8221;]Authenticity doesn\u2019t mean you and your conditioning. It means you have access to the full behavioural spectrum. To be authentic you need to have free access to the full behavioural menu you can choose from.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"tlg-spacer\" data-height=\"10\" data-height-tablet=\"10\" data-height-mobile=\"20\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;height:10px;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;]<div class=\"headings-title\"><div class=\"mb16 mb16 mb-xs-40 text-left\"><h3 style=\"color:#ffffff!important;font-size:30px;line-height:40px;text-transform: uppercase!important;text-shadow:none;font-family:Pathway Gothic One;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;\" class=\"widgettitle mb0\">3. ACCOUNTABILITY<\/h3><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;textWhiteNormal&#8221;]Only when you own your own behaviour, you can be authentic which means you do not need to evade accountability. Shaming and blaming isn\u2019t interesting but owning your decision and learning from it, is. This only works if a person oversees the consequences of his behavioural choice. OMM\u00a9 enables you to do so.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1570453178652{background-image: url(https:\/\/www.openmindmanagement.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/river_photo.jpg?id=1286) !important;}&#8221;][vc_column]<div class=\"tlg-spacer\" data-height=\"250\" data-height-tablet=\"250\" data-height-mobile=\"50\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;height:250px;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row tlg_padding=&#8221;pt64 pb64&#8243; tlg_parallax=&#8221;not-parallax&#8221; tlg_text_align=&#8221;text-center&#8221; tlg_equal_height=&#8221;equal-height&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1697119140410{padding-right: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;background-color: #c90946 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column]<div class=\"headings-title\"><div class=\"mb16 mb16 mb-xs-40 text-center\"><h2 style=\"color:#ffffff!important;font-size:50px;line-height:60px;text-transform: uppercase!important;text-shadow:none;font-family:Pathway Gothic One;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;\" class=\"widgettitle mb0\">Books<\/h2><div style=\"color:#ffffff!important;font-size:25px;line-height:30px;text-transform: none!important;\" class=\"widgetsubtitle\">MANS published a book on practically every course it has to offer.
