What others said about this

Annabelle Naafs

Ministry of Defence
“I learned to look critically at an issue; first to go back to the core and to look at an issue from different angles. I often see around me that a problem is invented for a solution. Then you can also ask yourself if there really is a problem. That is why it is so important to be in contact with everyone. Innovation starts with the people themselves. Someone can come up with something, but if it is not supported, nothing will happen.”
