Arjan Mol and media
Press release:
TU Delft: Kosten aanpak corrosie jaarlijks 3-7 miljard te hoog Results in the media

Arjan Mol follow up
Discussing the press release with GroenLinks fractie Tweede Kamer in The Hague: they provide the entrance
contacts towards the Ministries of Economic Affairs and Education (June 2016)
Ministry of Economic Affairs: TU Delft to provide independent advice on the current guidelines and regulations
Current and ongoing action: industrial and governmental team of stakeholders (material supply, application
companies, maintenance and inspection and end users) to identify and target white spots in current
regulations and guidelines
Ministry of Education: TU Delft to make a case together with industrial representation to support and raise
awareness for multi-level (LBO-MBO-HBO-WO) education on Corrosion Engineering, Management and
Control
Current and ongoing action: definition of coherent and multi-level course portfolio with ION (Industrial Surface
Treatment Society NL)

Communication strategy
GoalTarget groupMessage(s)Means
Just a little logical thought on who you want to reach with your press release (or overall communication strategy), what you want to tell them and what you would like them to do with that information, and how to best present, package and send that out.
10
Goal – start with why
11
Goal
Start with why Personal branding Win funds Get sponsors / partners Share results (why?) Attract custumors, sell ‘goods’ Invite audience to an event Inform the public Inform colleagues Get more students Get known (by who and why?) Debate
Start one Contribute to one
…

Example: goal(s) of Erik Offerman
13
Example: goals press release Arjan Mol
TU Delft: Raising public, political and industrial awareness of societal and
economic impact of corrosion (structural safety, due maintenance, costs (3.5% GNP), etc)
Need for multi-level and in-depth knowledge, and thus education, on corrosion engineering, management and control across industrial and public stakeholders
Acotec: Difficulty to introduce novel innovative coating systems in practice due
to current regulations and guidelines (e.g. prescribing three-layer coating systems while a one-layer systems these days is sufficient).

What that looks like IRLWe verven te vaak en te veelBN DeStem, Brabants Dagblad, Gelderlander, Stentor, Zeeuwsche Courant, Twentsche Tubantia: 17 maart 2016 Onnodig verven kost 6 miljardAlgemeen Dagblad: 17 maart 2016
Onnodig veel kosten voor aanpak corrosiebeschermingCobouw: 1 april 2016 .....“Corrosiebescherming is dan ook
topsport”, stelt Mol. Zowel in de ontwerpfase, bouwfase, en beheer- en onderhoudsfase. Het is een complexe interactie van materialen en milieu. Probleem ligt in het feit dat kennis hierover lastig is te vatten in één persoon. Tijdens de gehele levensduur van constructies komen nogal wat beslissingsnemers aan bod, die niet altijd van de technisch-inhoudelijke kant van corrosie en corrosiebescherming op de hoogte zijn.”Hiernaast zijn opdrachtgevers voor nieuwe constructies of installaties niet altijd degenen die in een later stadium verantwoordelijk zijn voor het operationeel beheer en onderhoud. Mol: “De kennis moet doorwrocht zijn vanaf de mensen aan de tekentafel tot aan de installatie- en onderhoudsmonteurs in het veld. Er is in de praktijk bijna altijd sprake van over- of onderbescherming. Zelden is er sprake van een bijna optimale corrosiebescherming...”
