About BCI

 

BCI was founded by Patrick Bergman in 2022. Patrick has lived and worked in Europe (the Netherlands, France, UK), Suriname, Mongolia, Myanmar, and Laos, with a consistent focus on working towards a sustainable future.

His work spans innovation and technology, water management, nature conservation, healthcare in developing countries and the energy transition, all approached from a holistic perspective (content, funding, people) of grant, project, and program management at a higher (strategic and tactical) level. With this extensive experience, Patrick is an authority in (public) management and is capable of providing swift and effective high-quality grant management and project and program management advice. Sustainable development is a fascinating field where pioneering and innovation are key. BCI is based in The Netherlands and services both clients in The Netherlands and internationally.

Vision on Sustainable Development

 

Based on extensive experience on the ground in various parts of the world, experience has learned the following:

- the market (innovative businesses) develops innovative technological solutions for sustainable development;

- the public sector has to facilitate this (quadruple helix approach - innovation eco systems, launching customers, tax incentives, grants);

- Europe is leading the way in sustainable development from a global perspective (European Green Deal);

- global multilateral institutions (Europe Aid, Global Fund, UN, Green Climate Fund) help to spread solutions for sustainable development to developing countries;

- management, a cross cutting skill, in particular interpersonal communication and cooperation is a critical succesfactor in program and project implementation - utilising the speed of trust and putting the right person with the right capacities in the right position;

Mission

BCI's mission is to pave the way for sustainable development through providing high end consulting services, management advice and executive coaching.

The strength of BCI lies in managing complexity through holistic analysis (content, people, funding), solving management challenges and issues, pioneering, and innovation. BCI goes beyond "thinking outside the box"—"we don't have a box to begin with."
