Clients I worked with, projects I worked on

The work I do with organisations is focussed on the effectivity of knowledge work and (group) learning in and across organisations, as well as making sense of complex and changing environments, and intractable problems, supported by social media tools, network visualizations and Sensemaker (tm).

Currently I spend a significant amount of my time on 'open government data', both because it promises huge societal and economical potential, as well as constitutes an important and exciting change process for government organizations.

Lending a hand Sharing my stories Staying curious Using the right tools
I consult organisations on increasing the effectivity of knowledge work, networked learning, and social media tools adapted to a fast paced and information overloaded world. (Client portfolio) On a regular basis I speak both nationally and internationally for both business and academic audiences on knowledge, learning and social media. See recent speaking engagements. Keeping up with developments is fuelling my work in research. The impact of technology on our work and learning, as well as empowering people to take their lives into their own hands are my focal points. Technology, work forms and organizational structures are all tools. Tools need to support people in their work, not the other way around. Social media are in sync with how we know people work, not how we wish them to work.
