Original RAD Race -- Always deliveries , always good value






I truly recommend all IT organisations to make some activities that will boost and encourage their motivation and even more performance.

A great example of this kind of event is the Original RAD RACE. It is held frequently in Holland and Belgium by the excellent skilled Ivan Verbourgh.
RAD Race is an independent programming competition focused on:
--delivering a working business program,
--in controlled and verifiable conditions

I had the great pleasure to join the last public RAD Race held in Hasselt Belgium and I have to admit it was a great success in many ways.

First of all, all the participants, the teams, were so engaged, energetic and very enthusiastic about the very difficult case given. 14 skilled teams, 2 in each team, from different IT companies around the area, bringing their company banners and promotion material to their given place in the facility, on of the university halls in Hasselt. The high workperformance and committment in each team .. yes I was impressed and happy to se it myself.

Second, the encouraging, skilled and very professional jury members were fantastic. To join this jury group for some hours was an honour and a pleasure, and I will never forget it.

Third, the workresult solutions presented from each of the teams. Impressive. For such a short period of time, the deliveries were great and interesting. Within 48 hours. Different solutions and interfaces and all the results were good in their way.

I had the pleasure to join the jury work of the RAD RACE and I promised myself and the Task force manager of the race, Ivan Verbourgh to make sure he will come to Scandinavia with this kind of event.


Not only fun, Its extremely good value in many ways, internal organisation way of working, encouraging skilled people to increase even more, strengthen the skilles and motivate for even further better work, and of course also promotion.

Read more about it and contact Ivan, I promise, the result and value is worth every spent dime.
