Field research in mixed method arrangements is conducted to create insights for the key-partners and stakeholders.

UI

Light & building, international expo.

As head of communications I have created the conditions to develop a whole new approach to present the Philips brand in a unique way. The concept won an industry Forum (IF) award because of the consistent implementation of the concept to all brand communication instruments.

This led to an immersive experience for the visitor. The new approach is now used as blueprint for designing expo’s across Europe.

Philips IF

Proces Improvement Champion
I'm been awarded this title because I've made repeatedly breakthroughs as a project manager in international (communication) projects. The innovations were in: lead time, money, and integral management. The combined results of this way of working is the reference project for European introductions.

OPPORTUNITIES

BMGc is an advanced topic in marketing. It is a method to create opportunities from different angles for an organization. By mapping organizational and communication issues, analyze these topics and redesign it, the student learns to describe, visualize, explain and justify the new role of communication.

As European brand manager for Philips I have developed, defined and designed environmental awareness in the product creation process resulting in windows of opportunities to communicate the environmental responsibility and contribution of Philips.

Lectures Delft Science centre

As expert user centred communication, I shared my knowledge in a lecture and workshop with technical students. Gamification elements in combination with soft and hard skills were mapped and analysed giving the students new insights for opportunities for their project.

Paper prototype workshop

As developer of educational material I insert a method of rapid prototyping. Often the paper prototyping method is used but also puppet scenario is a proven method to research the user interaction with the developed concept.

IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

Architecture is a typical expression of applied art. For the lessons ART I have made two special lessons. The theme of the lessons: Inside-Outside. I have made a 2.5 km. stroll in the area of Fontys. Using historic windows, many characteristic architectural examples appear to be present so close. Students liked this way of exploring and working on their ‘common stock of knowledge’.

OF BOOKS

In a speed dating meeting, students exchanged self made summaries of communication books. The subject matter was related to the project they are working on during workshop hours.

Within a short time, students learned about the projects of their fellow students, they got a summary of communication theory and practiced their debating skills.
This carrousel meeting was a success.

ASSOCIATIONS

Using socio-demographic profiles to generate new insights to maximize the communication to the target groups.
