My goal is to stimulate data-driven decision making at Leiden University by making a wide range of strategic policy information accessible and understandable for executives, strategists, and policy makers. To reach this goal I develop and and implement an agenda for the proper use of data, facilitated by a dashboarding tool.

Looking for insights in complexity? Difficulties to get to the point? Trying to take your colleagues along? Little progress? Having a hard time to get to a strategy? Trying to communicate in a clear and pleasant way about complex topics, both internally as well as externally?With Graphective I offer solutions for these types of challenges using a highly effective approach. Using visuals is key when offering you advice. Why? Because visuals are a very powerful tool! In addition, having a scientific background and ample consulting experience within the public sector and health foundations I am a valuable interlocutor. A unique combination of content and visualization comes together in Graphective! My approach is unique as well: especially dealing with complex (or seemingly simple) topics it is impossible to produce a visual just like that. Rather, it is a step-by-step process of co-creation in which the emerging visual will act as a reference point. Of course it is nice if this leads to a good visual, but much more importantly this process will often lead to many new insights to the client! Using this approach the only way is forward!Visit me at www.graphective.nl

Strategic advisor to the full organisation, it's management team and directors. Also secretary to the Advisory Board and, as off January 2022, the Supervisory Board.

Besides my work as an advisor and projectleader I'm working as a visual consultant. In this role I'm using visualisation to: 1. Structure and understand complex information and processes. For example getting an overview of the interdependence of a large number of projects or mapping all types of roles, organisations and responsibilities within the projects that we finance. 2. Help people with different perspectives allign and let them gain a common understanding. For instance supporting project team strategy development. 3. Communicating about the true essence of complex information. For example communicating on process and outcome of organsation strategy development.

In this function I lead the development and implementation of policies and tools to optimise the translation of results (including intellectual property) from scientific research, enabled by the Dutch Cancer Society, to sustainable solutions for cancer patients.
