Design Thinker who is trying to make sense of the iterative aspects in life!
What the heck! Iteration?
Sure! D(d)esign is thinking in iterations!

As a Strategy Coach I am addressing the creative industries & design oriented companies with my consultancy services.
My main goal is to support clients in fulfilling their roles in organisations in a more strategic fashion. I've named this approach: "Designing Strategy" which applies methodologies from design in order to solve strategic issues in a designerly way. I do this with my partners from zilverinnovation.com
A particular focus of my recent work is focused on the impact of Social Technologies on Brands & Consumers.
Some impressions of my recent work can be found here: http://bit.ly/designing_strategy
