The world is more volatile and uncertain. The winners are not those who work harder, but those who diagnose their operational constraint, restore flow, and focus execution where it matters most.
My Story
I'm Kurt Corthout, founder of Flipmanagement and partner at GIG Europe and DolphinUniverse. With over 20 years of experience in business transformation, I specialize in driving breakthrough results using Theory of Constraints (ToC), Lean, and Six Sigma methodologies.
My journey began in 2005 when I founded 1-2-Solve, providing management facilitation in engineering, manufacturing, and production. Since then, I've helped organizations across Europe and beyond achieve measurable improvements—often within 2-3 months.
Flipmanagement was born from a realization: the same frameworks that restore operational flow in large enterprises can empower independent professionals. I work like a brain surgeon — focused, precise, minimal time inside your business while transferring knowledge that creates lasting, sustainable improvements.
Facilitating improvement, training and implementation in real organizations for many years.

My Approach
I work like a brain surgeon — focused, precise, minimal time inside your organization. Not an army of consultants. I diagnose the operational constraint and transfer the capability so your team drives implementation.
Knowledge Transfer
I don't impose solutions. I transfer knowledge so you can implement and maintain improvements independently.
Constraint-Focused
Using TOC, Lean, and Six Sigma to diagnose the operational constraint and develop focused actions that restore flow and increase throughput.
Partnership Model
You're an esteemed partner, not a client. I maintain continuous communication throughout our work together.
