In juni 2006 kwamen sleutelfiguren van hogescholen en universiteiten in een expertmeeting bijeen om ervaringen uit te wisselen over het beoordelen 1 van (competenties van) docenten. Deelnemers bogen zich over ‘good practices’ uit zowel hbo als wo. In dit artikel worden de portfoliobeoordelingsprocedures van vier van deze voorbeeldinstellingen beschreven en vergeleken aan de hand van relevante topics. Vervolgens worden de beoordelingsprocedures zelf beoordeeld aan de hand van kwaliteitscriteria. Er wordt afgesloten met conclusies en aanbevelingen. Met dit artikel hopen we onze ervaringen gesystematiseerd toegankelijk te maken voor andere ho-instellingen. We hopen tevens een bijdrage te leveren aan de discussie over het ontwikkelen en beoordelen van docentcompetenties en aan de verdere kwaliteitsverbetering van portfoliobeoordeling.
The transition towards more sustainable business practices requires the changing of products, services, processes, policies and resources of organizations. Acknowledging the role projects play in these changes, the concept of sustainability should be integrated in the way projects are selected, prioritized, performed, managed, governed and evaluated. This requires the integration of sustainability in the organizational strategy, project portfolio management and project management. However, studies on sustainability in business describes the application of the concepts of sustainability mostly on the above-mentioned level in isolation, with little or no attention to the linkages between the strategy, portfolio and project levels. A conceptual framework is presented indicating the interlinking practices of integrating sustainability into the organizational strategy, project portfolio management and project management. From this framework, empirical studies can be developed, and guidance is provided for organizations that aim to improve this integration and thereby embedding the deeper implementation of sustainability into their policies and practices.

The Procurement and Supply of hospital isolation gowns (IGs) pose significant challenges, including the potential for sudden increases in demand, the necessity of maintaining high-quality gowns, and the complexity of the supply process. One potential solution to these challenges is the investment in reusable IGs, which may seem financially infeasible due to their initial purchasing price. However, it can provide long-term financial and environmental benefits. In this research, a Simulation Optimization (SO) framework is utilized to model and analyze various product portfolio selection strategies, considering both financial and environmental perspectives, and to determine the optimal strategy for meeting both financial and environmental objectives. The proposed strategy is implemented to the problem based on obtained Life Cycle Assessment and market data.
