Kjeld has an MBA from the Business School Nederland. He is currently working on his PhD thesis at the VU University Amsterdam, investigating which leadership behavior is essential for a successful and sustainable implementation of Lean principles in hospitals. Bas Lohman studied economics at the VU University Amsterdam and is operational manager gynecology and pediatrics at the Albert Schweitzer hospital in Dordrecht, the Netherlands. Earlier in his career he was a Lean coach at the VU University Medical Center. Part of his job was to support line management in using Lean principles.

He feels the social involvement and relevance of health care are key motivators for continuously seeking out possibilities for improvement.
