In my intensive innovation sprints, I work closely with your organization to develop new, impactful solutions in just a few sessions. These sprints are designed to tackle complex societal challenges while supporting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By combining technological opportunities, collaborative teamwork, and rapid testing, we create practical products and services that are ready for real-world impact.

With over 20 years of experience in project management and change leadership, I guide the entire process: from initial idea to tangible outcomes. These sprints are ideal for governments, businesses, startups, and educational institutions looking to innovate with focus and achieve lasting results.

Depending on your needs, we may use tools such as creative brainstorming, mind mapping, and trend analysis. I also offer market and data research to validate ideas and translate them into actionable plans.

My skills include strategy and policy development, project execution, research, trend analysis, innovation management, technology (like blockchain, web3.0, and AI), data and market research, and financial analysis. Depending on the challenge and the team, I use different methods to get the best results. These sprints can be done online or in person. All sessions are available in either Dutch or English, depending on your preference.

Innovation sprints speed up the development of new technologies, including Generative AI and Open Source AI, with a focus on creating new business models that go beyond traditional ways of making money. By combining insights from trends and the economy, I help identify opportunities that fit today’s challenges.

Each sprint is customized to your industry, goals, and available resources to ensure the best possible results.
