STRATEGIC SERVICE DESIGNER

Passionate about systemic design and transitions in healthcare

'WHEN THE WIND OF CHANGE BLOWS, SOME BUILD WALLS, OTHERS BUILD WINDMILLS'

~Chinese proverb

 

 

 

Today's challenges are interconnected and require a collaborative ecosystem of shared value-creation.  Therefore, we need to rethink current approaches and systems and transform them to fit the context and be valuable for people and businesses. To refer back to the proverb on top, I belief that the wind of change brings new (service) opportunities. My attitude and capabilities as strategic designer contribute identify, create and make use of these emerging opportunities.

 

Strategy is what I know, initiating and coaching implementation of innovation to serve healthcare is what I love. During transitions in the healthcare landscape my goal is to enhance the value, quality and accessibility of care while reducing costs. For example, my work explored how supermarkets can serve their customers by integrating their health-based dietary needs in their value propositions. Another example is that I investigated how peer-support services in care organisations can be fostered.

This visual illustrates that I make reinforcing matches between healthcare needs and emerging innovations from technology companies; I strategically connect the right balloons to make people fly in times of changing winds.  So let's connect, celebrate and fly!

During transitions in the healthcare landscape my goal is to enhance the value, quality and accessibility of care while reducing costs. For example, I explore the role of 3D printing in pharmacy, provide people will truly tailored food according to the person's nutritional status, use health-data in families for prevention and earlier diagnosis, and set up peer-support programs in care organisations.
