VERLOOP VAN DE PROCEDURE
GRONDEN VAN DE BESLISSING
Uitgangspunten
‘Due to Gemini project, this is an ongoing project that is partly on hold. However I expect [verweerder] to demonstrate that he can manage smoothly the country financial plans in the context of Gemini for both HT and LS in certain countries (mainly APAC). I also expect him to develop mid term sustainable local capital structures.'en
'I expect [verweerder] to push and challenge M&A on those discussions and to focus on the big picture (impact on FHR for example) also rather than only on WACC- he can demonstrate this in the second half of the year in close interaction with M&A and Goldman Sachs with the model.'en
'I do expect from him more ownership and push on analysis.'en
' [verweerder] is a good asset to the Corporate Finance department but there are core competencies that he needs to develop to progress been the main ones communication internally and externally and capacity to drive to the finish line projects on an autonomous basis.'
'On the FHR, despite been an expert on the topic, I believe his output did not stand at the quality required for Philips Corporate Finance, mainly due to lack of a flexible model which was required to adapt. I think that has been his biggest task during the year and did not fulfil the expectations.'en
'Analysis needs careful attention from other team members with needed follow ups (with FP&A for example) required to be pushed by other members'en
'I think [verweerder] has the willingness to fulfil expectations, however I think he has not taken the necessary ownership of key tasks required for the department like FHR and the new FHR model which was finally developed by a joint CF and FP&A team'.
' [verweerder] performance trom a rating perspective is OK from a support side but lacks strategie and communication vision: model was too complex and had interfare which was not clear and the need to a new one had to come from line manager and had the full support of a colleague. Rating strategy had numerous interactions with insightful information coming mostly trom manager. Same as the yearly presentation, he did not take ownership and it had to be finally the manager building the presentation draft to have discussions. He did organize meetings but interaction was limited and there was a lack of ownership. 'en
' [verweerder] seems to have developed a good interaction with APAC treasurer but cannot assess anticipation on the needs at this stage.' en ' [verweerder] has good intention but there is a lack of key capabilities to succeed in this position: 1) ownership and 2) communication. Delivery of FHR insightful analysis was mainly driven by other team colleagues. WACC publication had some errors as detected by other colleagues which were later sorted out by [verweerder] . There is also lack of ownership which requires a lot of additional work from team. For example Rating Agencies presentation was done by line manager and on local capital structure there has been a lot of interaction.'en
'I think [verweerder] has the energy but lacks key capabilities to succeed in leading change.'
