I have been a portfolio worker for most parts of my career and am constantly looking for opportunities where to apply my knowledge and analytical skills. Since 2012, I have tutored, mentored and coached beyond 500 professional doctoral students (mid level to senior executives, aged 35 to 70) with the University of Liverpool Management School’s Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) program (UK), and since 2016 also with the DoctorateHub. This allowed me to understand how to tackle research problems at scale, be it the tame, the complex, or the wicked. 500+ students also implies 500+ workplace-based research problems which I had the chance to look at. And while working with such an array of research projects allows for quite some learning, it also has shown to me that very often it is quite exhaustive for such grown up and seasoned research novices. In response to this, we thus decided to set up the DoctorateHub, so to provide training, mentoring, and coaching services to all those that struggle to get their workplace-based issues identified, analysed, understood, written up in a doctoral thesis, and, ultimately, resolved. While our initial target group has been the seasoned professional doctoral student, we had to realise that our services are equally valuable to the professional knowledge worker or scientist. In case you are looking for some support, please visit us at the DoctorateHub, or drop me a note. Besides that, I am also interested in research and entrepreneurial engagements, thus open to look into collaboration opportunities that you might see.
