Small scale. Broad perspective.
Direct responsibility is a feature, not a limitation.
Albir is led by Lieven Baats. The small scale keeps the line between question, analysis and implementation short; the cross-disciplinary background helps keep the whole chain in view.
Experience behind the work
Lieven has worked in business analysis and project management since 1999, with a background in payments and complex information systems.

- Perspective
- Business engineering and information systems, complemented by criminology, management and digital transformation.
How Albir thinks
A system change shifts processes and knowledge. AI changes the speed and opacity of decisions. Outsourcing changes where expertise sits. Useful work follows that chain instead of stopping at the edge of one discipline.
What independent means here
The organisational question determines the approach, not a preselected tool or method.
Methods support the work
Existing practices for quality, project delivery, service management, architecture and continuity remain useful building blocks.
What “senior & direct” means
- No relay between the first conversation and the substantive analysis.
- Scope and expected outputs are agreed before expanding the work.
- Technical detail can be followed without losing the organisational question.
- The output is expected to remain usable by the people who inherit it.
