I’m interested in the methods and practices that people use to tackle complex societal challenges, also called ‘social innovation’. On these pages you can find information about the various practices I study.
Design-based practices
Two core practices of design that contribute to social innovation are problem framing and human-centred design, in particular with deep insights using the ‘NADI-model‘ that I developed.
Transdisciplinary practices
To work on complex challenges we need to work in transdisciplinary ways. On this page, you will find more information about transdisciplinary research and innovation
Systemic design practices
