The Movement Ambassadors want to encourage as many children as possible to be active more often and with greater enjoyment. To spend less time on administrative tasks and focus on what really matters, entrepreneurs Sander van Weerlee-Feenstra and Sjoerd Jenninga are using a digitization voucher from Key Region Leiden. With the voucher, they are developing a platform that automates this administrative work. Alderman Freddy Blommers of Leiderdorp stopped by to personally present the voucher. <\/p>\n
To help children move more effectively, the Physical Activity Ambassadors use the \u201cQuickScan Physical Education\u201d tool to assess physical education classes at a school. This allows the physical education teacher and school administration to adapt the physical education classes\u2014for example, by purchasing new equipment or making adjustments to the gym\u2014to help children move more effectively during class. Currently, this process takes time to collect and process afterward. Time that entrepreneurs Sander van Weerle-Feenstra and Sjoerd Jenninga would rather invest in helping children enjoy being active. That\u2019s why they used a Digitalization Voucher to automate this administrative process, so they can gain faster insight into what\u2019s going well and where adjustments are needed\u2014all while saving time. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe used to do everything on a single sheet of A4 paper and write out the results. That takes a lot of time that we, as a company, would rather spend elsewhere,\u201d says Sander. \u201cNow, with the QuickScan, we can not only administer the assessment quickly and accurately, but we can also clearly display the scores on a dashboard. We now spend the time we save on the children we\u2019re doing this for.\u201d <\/p>\n
The desire to improve this process had been there for a while. That\u2019s why the digitization voucher for the Movement Ambassadors came at just the right time. \u201cWe had already been looking for a way to simplify our administrative processes so that we could do more for our target group,\u201d said Van Weerle-Feenstra. \u201cDigitization helps us focus on what really matters, and the voucher helped us achieve that.\u201d <\/p>\n
Alderman Freddy Blommers also sees the added value of this initiative precisely in that. \u201cThis is a great example of digitization that delivers tangible results. When an entrepreneur spends less time on administrative tasks, there\u2019s more time for the real work. At De Bewegingsambassadeurs, that means more focus on meaningful activities and on the people they want to get moving.\u201d <\/p>\n
Want to spend less time on manual tasks and get more out of your business through digitization? A new round of digitization vouchers begins on October 19. The vouchers help entrepreneurs in the region take concrete steps to work smarter and more efficiently. Act fast\u2014they\u2019re first come, first served! <\/p>\n
