Twenty years of
doing the hard part
I'm a facilitator, coach and speaker who has spent more than two decades helping people navigate complexity and turn ideas into meaningful action.
I founded DesignThinkers Group in 2007 and DesignThinkers Academy in 2012, building a learning organization that grew active in more than twenty five countries. In 2019 I founded Future Skills Academy, where I now design learning programs on critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and adaptability for a world reshaped by AI.
My clients include Under Armour, ING, Bosch, Philips and SAP. I lecture at TU Delft, IE Business School and the Oslo School of Architecture and Design. I co-authored This Is Service Design Thinking, one of the field's standard references.
