Keynote Speaker: Kenny Meesters, Tilburg University, the Netherlands


Title: From potential to impact: Technology and Information Management in Crisis Response
Abstract: In the Netherlands the prime minister announced on March 17th, 2020, that the Netherlands was facing a pandemic crisis. In the national address, the prime minister Mark Rutte mentioned that in a crisis 100% of the decisions have to be made with 50% of the information. In the following days, a new national structure was introduced to support the national coordination capacity: the National Operational Team Corona (LOT-C). The mandate of this organization was to support the various safety and emergency services in the Netherlands, coordination, additional assistance, and ensure these services keep running as best they can, by looking at the immediate, mid- and long-term issues and developments.
In this talk, Kenny Meesters, will share his experience from working in this national team. They will share the evolution of the crisis response in the Netherlands over time, the choices made and the challenges of establishing this new structure during a crisis. They will discuss the coordination and information challenges, and how this compares for example to international responses. In this webinar there we will discuss the operational reality of IM & coordination in both a technical, organizational and cultural sense.
